Default Saratoga is a skull buster

Is there anything this difficult or am I the only one that starts the day at 12:59 pm full of confidence and ends the day at 6 pm with empty pockets.

Sure you can look back and see most of these winners, but there's so many more angles than at a normal track. It's a brain twisterpalooza!

Default The Spa

Very tough meet. I've been following the SPA for years, there's not really a solid consistent track bias. It changes daily. Be smart and play selective races and make spot plays. Because there's a lots of cash in the pools, "place betting" is something I like to do. You always can get 7/2 and 5/1 paying nice place prices just because of the amount in the pools. When in doubt listen to Andy S take, he's always got a good vibe.

I believe any meet that just starts and has horses coming from all over the country and the world with everybody pointed for the meet to get a win just naturally will be much harder. you will probably cash less tickets but when you do hit its gotta be a biggie that will carry you

The only thing 'tough' about SAR is that there's no value.

You have got to be kidding on that comment. Followed your comments since I've been here and nothing could be further from the truth.
