Sometime's I feel the pressure in capping. Starting with race one (lousyrace0 Race 2, etc. So instead, I'll right to the best races of the day, maybe feature, maybe grass route (my favs), and work my way back into earlier races.

Are you picking bad horses or making bad wajors. Big difference. If it's the latter do as the last poster says and make wagors that pay off more often. Win versus pick three, etc.

That will be $50 sir.

Actually one other thing that has worked for me. If you really like a horse, bet him across the board.

Desert Key place and show money last week at Saratoga was a decent pay out.

Even though Big Brown lost Belmont, I also had Denis of Cork across the Board and he took a little of the sting out of the Big Brown money I lost (the one and only time).

Keep a log of what you are wagering on and after a month go back and look at what you did wrong and what you did right. For me dirt stayer distances are my bread or butter but turf sprints just kill me. I can't tell you why, but i know to stay away from turf sprints or get other opinions in the pick 4. Once you figure out what you are good at, you can play more of those races. Find your niche and stick with it. I don't know anybody that plays every race every day and wins money.
