"We wanted to promoote our Pick 6 wager and felt seeding the pool with $150,000 would raise eyebrows, and it sure did, buddy" continued Pinsonneault. "It created the buzz we were looking for and encouraged racing fans and horsemen that weren't already familiar with the Woodbine Thoroughbred product to experience what we're all aboot with consistently large fields and one of the largest purse structures in North American racing, guy."

woodbine is a handicapper's type of track

the only complaint I have is the lack of daily doubles. Particularly around the big races, it would be nice to have the two doubles going in and out

I hear you man, that would be a tough choice for me. Probably go with takeout also but a lot of this Bashing of Woodbine's takeout seems senseless to me...

we're talking 2 pts on WPS and either 3pts Exa or Equal Exacta depending which coast/track you favor

the horse player makes his plays based on his opinion and his estimate of the final payout for the after takeout price.

Takeout sucks 100% but it doesn't sneak up on you.
