Skippy,
Interesting insight. Yeah maybe they did just clean it up when I was there, but the place is farly new, so they had me fooled. Beyond doing the contest there, I don't forsee myself being in Indianapolis for anything else. Either way, it looks a lot better than tacky ****in Turfway. That place is a dump (but it doesn't mean I don't like betting it lol).

I think you're right about the unpredicitability of the races there. They offer good-sized, and usually wide-open on paper races. But I never seem to do well betting the place. Indiana Downs on the other hand... I've hit soem monsters there, both T-Bred and Quarter Horse races.

Indiana downs usually has very dumb money in its pools. Very few serious handicapppers follow it, so if you can find an angle or a barn that is hot, you can make a great deal of money. Hoosier downs is semi-new and the building outside is beautiful. I guess my problems come with the people in it. They have zero security to keep the idiots out. Next time your in Indy give indiana downs a shot. Or let me know me know i we can grab dinner and hit the track. It really is beautiful inside.
