The graph of the race chart shows the impatient ride. And that's why, once again, it's very important for EQUIBASE to get their charts accurate (once and for all) as it takes too much time to watch many races over many tracks. The only way anyone is playing a single circuit these days is if they're getting paid to handicap that circuit. (I'd certainly give up the game if my action was restricted to NYRA, for example.)
I realize that it's the ultimate in machismo to take down carryover exotics but the way to actually beat the races, in my opinion, is to bet ONLY when you have an advantage (not, once again, when there's a huge pot waiting if you can wade your way through races you normally wouldn't play). So, the more races/tracks one can cover, the more of an advantage one has. The key point is that there are many, many EXCELLENT plays daily; the problem is having the time to find them all. This is something I'm slowly but steadily working towards.
