Same here. I love Monmouth, but I can count on one hand the number of tickets I've cashed there. I usually do relatively well at Fair Grounds, Saratoga and occasionally Keeneland.

The beast track to bet ever was the Lincoln State Fair Park. I used to be there on business for a week for several years running. At this track, regardless of distance or field size, whatever horse had the lead after the first call always won.

NoLuck: Keeneland. Beautiful place, but I can't seem to catch a break there.

Not to worry. I never bet more than a few races before determining they were pretty much impossible so no great loss. Actually, I never bet a couple of these at all, I just remember them from the old Pick 6 challenge that ESPN used to do.

This couldn't be more true as I've been there several times and bet the track regularly because I live in Omaha. The trick, however, is figuring out which horses aren't too sore to actually try to get the lead AND which jockeys have the 1/2 a brain needed to go for it.

Classic pick pweizer. I have been to State Fair Park on numerous occasions before moving to Montana. Bull-ring racing at its best, get to the front. FYI..........this is their last season, the track property is being gobbled up by the Univ of Nebraska. Future racing in Lincoln is uncertain at this point. A couple of groups are trying to get something put together for a new one mile track.
