not necessarily true.

for example at yonkers tonite in the 6th race, the selection is #4 squeeze play. 6-1 odds.

"has raced well in both outings and might be good enough to beat the likely favorite"

The first to selections that you posted were Best Bets from paper's handicapper. Tonight's example looks like a ramdom pick that happens to have decent odds.
People see BEST BET in the paper and think it's a lock and they hammer the horse down. Last night's horse was 4-1 ML and was sent off at 4/5.

Do you follow/bet Yonkers and have an opinion of the race? Or are you just trying to hit something on the blind with comments from the newspaper?

i like tom c's analysis. tonites card is not a good example and his commentary is pretty standard. most times he really questions and defeats the morning line. i also like pandolfos picks for the meadowlands.

but sure i do "try to hit something on the blind with comments from the newspaper". why not?

why am i going to try to handicap a race card when he does it for me? i am fortunate enough to have a full time job!


do you go to yonkers?

No I used to play once in a while. If I do decide to play trotters it would be at the Meadowlands.
There's nothing wrong with trying to hit/play something on the blind. I would be lying if I said that I have never did it. You do understand that any value that the horse might have, goes right out the window when it's selected (especially as a best bet) in the newspaper.

But I guess my question is, why do you feel the need to post it?
