There is a really good news aggregate site that just started up:
Goatzapper. Lots of news geared towards Horseplayers.

given the way the betting has gone, good value on the 2 here in the 6th at CT.

value quickly disappeared, but the pace was very advantageous there. will take the win.

damn #9 almost got up in the 7th, that was my best shot to hit some value.

Great 8th race. love those 4 1/2f sprints. theyre nuts. haha. great close by 8 wow

ok, last race:

$8 Ex 8/1,2,9,10
$8 Win 10

$40

one more question cuz it'e been bugging me.

assuming the market is efficient, isn't any pk x with a carryover profitable if carryover/total pool is greater than takeout/pool+carryover? i'm thinking this is true until you factor split tix.

sorry for noob questions but i'm less than 4 days into learning this game. in the past 24 hrs i've read "horse racing for dummies" and watched secratariat though! lol. hrfd was a decent read. i learned a good amount about race classes, horse pedigrees, and track conditions. unfortunately the drf charts were too small to decipher on my kindle. also, some of the wagering advice is contradictory and laughable.

next i play to search the web for advice on reading the drf and other resources. i'm hoping within 6 months i can feel confident sitting at home in my underwear watching tvg and betting exotics at 0ev. (and if not i can confidently blame it on variance

Yes, you are 100% correct. When there is a carryover the percentage amount returned to bettors is much higher than when there is no carryover. Depending on the track and how much they attract on carryover day, a carryover can create a positive expectation game which is rare in any type of gambling.

Please let it happen!

wish i knew anything about horse racing like you guys..i just like to degen on ponies once and a while but might have to try to learn more about it considering i liek 10 minutes down the road from the track

I'm playing Oaklawn, here are a few plays for today.

Had the winner in the first doubled to the 6-1-5, heaviest on the 6 which is my best price there.

For the Classix starting race 3, here is my ticket.

3) 2,4
I love the 2's name here - great name for a race horse - Numismatist - means coin collector haha

4) 7-1-2

5) 6

6) 5-6-8

7) 4

8) 3-6-7

I am scared of the 5th race, if I can get through there, I like my chances. $54 play, small carryover small play. Will play pick3s and the pick4, and late double also.



Edit: was typing all this up, and the second race was run while doing so. My six won weeee - paid $28.60 on the double, also hit the exacta and a small win bet so that was cool.

I don't play much of Oaklawn but they have $1 Pick 6?

Yes Oaklawn has a 1$ pick 6! Its fun!


Might be another long winning streak in the works down in AUS as Rain Affair has won its 9th straight.


Just another month and a half until EMD opens up, lots of horses hitting the track again, I like that Winning Machine (perennial stakes horse) has already put two works in, they might be trying to get him ready for the stakes race opening weekend up at Hastings. He has ran well at the track in prior starts, including ending last years campaign with a 2nd in the Premier.

Had to leave right after posting unexpectedly, didn't get to watch/bet any more - wish I hadn't bet this cause I bricked this about as hard as you can lol. I had been doing so well there lately, and started the day off pretty good, hitting all three but jeeeeesus those last 5 races there....brutal.




Ya - its nice...when you don't go 1-6 on it ha. Of course, they don't get much bet into the pools until carryovers come in, but it is a pretty cool wager.

Aqueduct Carryover P6 $0.25

El Padrino - thats a nice looking horse right there.

Frank M. is such a good race caller he just uses all of the famous TA stuff and mixes it together.
