I remember seeing the news last year, that Canterbury gets like 7 Claiming Crowns in the next 10 years. I'm not gonna miss it next year. They give you wide open betting affirs most of the time, but I've gotten slaughtered everytime I played it...
I hope Canterbury goes back to racing under the lights on Sat night. They used to do it that way when the track first re-opened. Since then they've been racing at 1:30 on Saturdays. They experimented with a 4:00 Saturday post time in July (in an effort to get more off-track handle generated), but I don't think it worked too well. They should go back to racing at night. Because the claiming crown draws well in terms of attendance, and they would bve going head-to-head with Mountaineer. That in itself should bring out some decent handle.
