luckiest track, unluckiest track?
 
Hi guys, just killing time while playing this hollywood friday night card.

I was just curious, what is your luckiest track and unluckiest track of all-time?
The track where everything seems to make sense, and the track where no matter what, can't even cash a 1/5 favorite.

For me, i would go with Hollywood Park for my luckiest track, for some reason, It makes sense there.

Unluckiest, I think I would have to go with the fairgrounds. I like the track, but I don't think I have ever cashed a winning ticket there. :eek:

I'll bite...not so much for a lucky track, but Monmouth is, by far, a track where I never get anything to go right. Just never, EVER.

best-Kentucky tracks
worst-West Virginia tracks

I will say this- never give up on the worst tracks.Time (and practice) can turn the tables. Never get too cocky at the best tracks, they're stabilizers for the bad times.

gambling reminds me of the first line of a tale of two cities. 'it was the best of times, it was the worst of times'.

i've had great luck at cd, ap and oaklawn. i've also had bad luck at those same tracks.

I've always thought that it wasn't handicappers adapting to tracks, as much as it was specific tracks playing into ones innate skills as a handicapper. In other words, we all look at races a certain way. Some tracks play into our skill set and give us success, some don't and break us. When I say "tracks", I mean the physical track and of course the usual horse/trainer population.

Luck: Kee
Suck: Florida
