In the late 60's early 70's I would often times meet up with Ora Stratton in the Pompano grandstand. In the beginning I would bet the same horses as Ora. I would go home a loser. Ora would go home a winner.
Why?
Ora would bet small most of the time, but big on the one or two horses he really liked. I on the other hand bet small on everything.
I soon learned to only bet on the one or two horses Ora really liked. THEN WE BOTH WENT HOME WINNERS.

To me, thriving means more barns are turning a profit than are not.  That is simply not true.  The top 5% of barns are getting rich.  The next 20% are making a nice living and below that they are fighting to stay above water.  That is far from thriving.  And I get this topic is just to get a reaction out of people, but some actually believe this is someone’s actual opinion on the game.  If the casino deals ever disappear, we will see the true state of the game.

Monticello, NY – Monticello Raceway is proud to announce the addition of Brian McEvoy as its new track handicapper. He replaces Catskill Steve, who was a mainstay for many years as the track handicapper at the Mighty M.

McEvoy is the current track handicapper for Pocono Downs, a position he has held for the last seven years. McEvoy got the harness racing bug at the tender early age of 12 years old and his love of harness racing has followed him his entire life. He spends countless hours watching replays of races before making my picks daily. He is an avid follower of harness racing and looks at every harness program every day at every track in North America.

You are such a fucking imbecile Poser 2
McEvoy posted on plop almost a month ago he was taking over.
Not to bright are you
It's on page 13 if you can count that high
 
I think he picked 1 race correct out of 7 which is a better percentage then the accuracy of your wretched takes. Is that enough emojis for ya Poser?

The other important part of this race are you racing to win of just get into the final next week?
This would make it more interesting-have the elimination winners draw for 1-2 2nd place finishers draw fir 3-4etc just like the little brown jug. Finish 5th and get in, you get the 9/10 posts! Simple solution??

Actually rainman2 the LBJ changed that rule starting this upcoming year
If there are 2 eliminations the two winners will draw from pp's1 thru 4...and an open draw for the remaining posts..
If there are 3 eliminations.. very doubtful.. the 3 winners will draw for pp's 1 thru 5

Quote from Tom Wright.. President of the LBJ society..
"The changes are designed to enhance the competitiveness and wagering appeal of the second heat while preserving meaningful incentives for elimination heat performance"

The chart of the race shows  XXX.
Horses expend less energy running as opposed to trotting.
The longer they run the less energy they use compared to those on the trot.
Even if they loose ground they saved energy for when they finally hit the trot.
That is part of the reason an extended run is DQ.
