Yeah, but the state line is 500 yards away. And you can buy alcohol inside KD

The TG promotion last year is what really got me into using their numbers.

I've found that it's no doubt a losing proposition to go it alone with their sheets, but really, they have come in handy so much for me and have led to what was easily my best year ever.

I can't tell you how many times I've looked at the form, class, pace calls -- tried to put it all together and kept coming up with 5 potential winners all hovering around 9/2 -- and how many times the TG numbers have helped me make a good decision in separating the horses that otherwise appear to be mostly equal.

Huge opportunity on the free numbers later this month. I'm hooked.

kind of a similar story for me. started looking for free last yr, then got hooked. i am doing better with them but i am having a hard time justifying the costs. lets say you like to look at 3 tracks a day, thats $60 a day at just once a week thats over $3 grand a year and even by any chance you like to look maybe 3 times a week thats about $10g. like i said you'll do better but maybe not enough to justify the costs. i have been using beyers for so long, i used to figure the numbers myself well before they were in the paper (ah the good old days). so i have to compare it to $5-6 bucks a day for about 6 tracks. i do feel beyer #s are less effective for many reasons. i really am a bit confused about it and wonder if there are other strong figs out there that we can use as a handicapping guide which are more reasonable and just as good. just wondering out loud what you guys think?

Can you buy it inside now?? I have been going there for years, but you had to join the Sly Fox club and BYOB. That was a great deal if you ask me.

Yeah you do have to be a member of "Longshots". Named changed when new owners took over. No more BYOB with the new regime either, but it's hard to complain with all the renovations they have done.
I'm paying for the new Visios in $2.75 payments now.

I think it is called Dancers now or something, I remember the area because I had to stop at that Shell station about 10 years ago to use their bathrooms.

You speak of Cheese Whiz and two weeks ago we were rocking cheese in a can on Football Sunday, it was a good flash from the past.
