How do you handicap 3 days of cancelled racing due to the all weather track being rained on?

First time swimmies is a good angle.

Just bet another track.It ain't the cushion track that's the problem(or else Hollywood wouldn't be an option.)I wouldn't believe anything said by the management of a Stronach track......Nothing..Zero..They didn't want it put in,and so it doesn't surprise me that it's f'd up.When you don't want something done,you pretty much aren't paying attention when it is being done.

They cant keep Hollywood flat Scud. They have been complaining about the surface since it got installed.

Im sure SA and the CHRB didnt want to cancel racing dates, and they certainly dont want to admit they made a mistake. The track is under water today, and who knows what the standing water will do to further degrade the integrity of the surface. Answer......NOBODY. Nobody knows because nobody did any testing, they just installed it.

Hollywood's track is only a problem for gamblers trying to make money betting.When you have a fair racetrack it favors the best horse.That's why Sadler and Mitchell went nuts with winners at that meet.They had the "best prepared" horses.Those types of horses will get up on a fair track.Anita had that from last Friday until this last Thursday.Then,yesterday,you started to get horses breaking 1st from the gate(regardless of form) start to stick around.For instance,Flores on the grey in the last race.

I did bet 100 on that horse to PLACE AND SHOW. That horse figured in that field. Flores is white hot and stayed around for the last race. The hrose had a steady tab, and there was nothing in the race at all. You knew the horse was live. Plus his previous MSW slaughtering, and troubled lined 40c warranted more money. He was also hands down the best looking horse in the post parade.

Now that Im done redboarding....They have had issues with the HP track since inception. Its uneven turning for home and they cant keep it consistant.

Oh, no win money on the horse made me want to puke, and I had a cold 9-4 100 exacta.

Now you make as much sense as the ultraconservative Catholics that wanted to keep a vegetable alive to be starred at like it was fine art.If you like a 35-1 shot,why do you play $100 to show on it?If you're chickenshit(like I get) then just bet a lil to win,and backwheel it in the exactas,and don't worry about the show betting.What did it pay to show? 7/2 or 4/1?
