i've been keeping an eye on them, but that field size has got to improve.

7 starters with 2 scratches won't attract too many into a pool, regardless of the takeout. I hope they get some more horses up there, b/c right now it reminds me of Delaware Park

They can have a few days where it's a playable card. They need to start strategically placing the turf races for the late pick 4.

Friday's early pick 4 looks to be a decent play due to the two turf races.

If handle continues to increase a purse increase is to be expected which could lure horses from Ill, Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, etc.

There's positive signs.

i hear ya steve, but for whatever reason, that place usually has a, if not multiple scratches before they go to the gate.

unfortunately canterbury got washed out on saturday, which didn't help. And though i like a good bulldog race, when are they going to stop this QH sh!t to open up the card? like my money doesn't leave my pocket fast enough in a 6F race.
