Do I have this right? You don't play Haw or AP but do Balmoral?

Well, if there is a pick 4 carryover at Hawthorne, then I will try. I have never found an ounce of value there. Everything appears to be either too hard, or too easy. When there is something in the middle, I always get atleast 2 points less than I should (in odds.) Every damn time I see something I like there, it's bet, bet, bet, bet,bet. So, no, I don't like it. Cheap racing with short value is for other people to partake in. The races seem so long there that I know people would be interrupting races with phone calls. Honestly, watching Christine Janks bring in chalk after chalk is some kind of local Chicago pleasure. I Think this is a case of you loving an ugly baby, because (simply put)it's your ugly baby. If your main driver is present at Chicago harness, then I can get pick 4 singles very easily. It's a much harder game if he isn't present. The p4 Wednesday Night at Balmoral was 13.5x win parlay....Last Saturday it was 2x win parlay....It was 4.5 win parlay on the 19th. Last Saturday, the pick 5 paid 4x win parlay. If you can say that about Chicago Thoroughbred, then I'll wade through the poo, and put some tickets in. As far as Harness goes(in general,) I usually only play the few large (mile) tracks. The short tracks are mainly chalk festivals, because the outside posts are pretty much not in the running for the win. So, I don't partake in your jewel called Maywood.

Fair enough but IMO the only thing Balmoral is good for is a trial run for fixing the BC pic 6.

Yea, but if you don't try to cap so tightly, then you'll hit some of that. Like the horse in the 4th on Wednesday was pretty shady, but the 2nd n' 3rd legs were easy. The 1st leg winner was scheduled to be ridden by the main driver. Everybody ignored it when the substitute driver got on. For that it pays 10.7K. I am not seeing that at Chicago T'BRED.

Tried the pick 4 carryover at Hawthorne today. No way I can get Samson the Great. As usual, the track is a bonfire.
