Exactly, I will give them credit for their turf racing, it is competitive and offers value, but betting the dirt there is like betting Hawthorne.

I also can't make fun of Biggie because it is his home track, and those always have special places in our hearts. GPK is another story

GPK, I know it's almost Christmas Eve for you. But something Hooves said earlier was a lead in to something I have always wanted to know...

What makes any track an A, A- B- of F track for you?

When I read all the complaints about too much racing, too much breeding, too much bad stock, where tracks would people close?

You have to take in a lot of factors. Are they part of a real circut (SA-H'wood-DM, BEL-AQ-SAR, etc...) are they a lone outpost (Portland Meadows for example, unless you consider Yakima as part of the circut )

Not trying to hijack the htread, but most everyone has forgotten more since Sunday about this sport we love than I might ever learn, but I think it could be an niteresting discussion.

Remember, not that many years ago, there were a lot more tracks - even just up here in New England where I am from - Suffolk, Rockingham (T'breds), Lincoln, Narragansett, Green Mountain and that does nto take in that from many parts of NE you can get to BEL, AQ, or SAR in less than 1 hour.

Thanks for yout thoughts, I am sure I will feel stupid for asking before too long

b- !

Thanks hooves. Most won't even give them that.

I'm sure I would feel the same way if I didn't live here, but there's nothing like seeing them running live.

For me it is all about the success, or lack thereof, that determines where I play. Obviously all the "major" tracks are gonna have the higher quality horses that tend to be more formful than the tracks with the cheaper horses. Some of the major tracks, I fair well at, some I absolutely suck. The two best meets going, Saratoga and Del Mar, have beat me like a drum the last few years. I fair much better at both Belmont meets. Santa Anita has brought me some success and ever since Hollywood switch to the synthetic, I have done very well there.

I am HORRIBLE at all the Kentucky tracks. I quit playing them altogether, except for an occasional turf race.

Tampa Bay and Mountaineer are the only two "lesser" tracks that I play. I used to follow and play Mountaineer religiously, but not so much anymore. I just love Tampa...something about the place. It is like whenever I am reading the PP's for there, everything just looks "clear". Hard to explain I guess.

I suppose the overall quality of the racing makes it an A or B or C ... But in a handicapping sense it doesnt really matter what the quality of horse is if you are cashing.

GPK, I understand your enthusiaum. It is nice to see them run live as opposed to on the screens at the dogtrack. Good luck on Saturday
