Arlington Park gets it

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Illinois breds are kind of like the Quakers, and the Amish. They seem to like to stick together, and share. They aren't very greedy. Seems they just love to take turns at everything. I guess the other races are o.k. Just seems like a lot of chalk,and crap in Chicagoland racing. Seems like anytime I try to play the damn place that Jenks lady is bringing in some kind of chalk.Good for her,but I need something a little less obvious. Just seems like a mixture of too easy, and too hard. That's a recipe for empty pockets.

everyone is worried about what the price of a horse is going to pay, why force it. You can hit cold pick threes all day at Arlington. perfect example is the 1st three yesterday, 1-6-4 paid 16.4 to 1, and it was 2/1, 3/5, 2/1

And in the first race, people got all nuts on that 5, and Bob's Bean had better sprinting numbers then the horse. BB should not have been 2/1, more like 7/5 or 3/2

Oh my God.You wonder why we don't pay any attention to what's going on there. Sounds like some fkn sports parlay bets.

If you don't have competition,then you shouldn't be paying purse money.

Well nobody cares (after the race is over) whether a winner was one of your top selections in a race. Doesn't stop you from telling us. I don't particularly keep track of people on here, but some people do stuff that is uniquely them. Your gift is telling people(after the race ) how easy a horse was to get. It's like your personal signature. Even more often(after the race) you tell people who lost that their horse had no shot(with your figures etc.) I really don't think it helps people after the race. I would love if you were to say 6 of 10 horses can be tossed (before the race.)

NEWS FLASH!!!

not all tracks play the same, or have the same quality or mix of horses.
you are urged to adjust your game accordingly.

that is all.

now back to your your regularly scheduled rants and diatribes.

I'm just telling the guy why it isn't paradise for some other people. That's all. Best part of Arlington is the fake crowd noise they put into the stretch calls. Every race is the Derby. Anytime a horseplayer sees the risk versus reward (regardless of price) go more in their favor, then that's where they are going to play. It's really not very complicated. Myself(and many others) have never felt the risk versus reward go in their favor when they play Chicagoland racing...NEVA! I got a shot in SOCAL,NY,and Kn'tucky (but not Chicago.) It's just a mixture of chalk races with impossible races mixed in. It's just no good. Why do you think we don't play it? You think we don't know it's there? We know. It simply has limited appeal.
