Stupid fools put him in a claiming race thinking he wouldn't get claimed and jeez, he got claimed for $25,000....................they paid $75,000 for him so my son is sooooooooo mad.

Sandy, that's REAL good for a first race. I lost all of my data from the beginning of the ARL. meet. so I'm a little bummed out and don't have the time to do it all again right now! Too many games to follow at once...Good luck to you and your son with El Rayo

Here are some exactas I like for Sat. 6/6. My suggestion is to play them boxed if you have enough dough.5th) 4-6, 5-4, 1-47th) 7-5*8th) 5-4, 2-5, 6-5*It looks like the most profitable among the picks...definitely play this one boxed. The rest look like small probable payoffs.Good luck in the Belmont...will Smarty do it? I think so.

Right you are again, Brdman...the exactas are paying low at Arlington. That's why if I was laying money on it I'd be playing only exactas that are promising a good payoff....It would lower your bets considerably, and therefore enable a profit. Lot of top 3 favorites hitting in the top two spots.If I had more time with this, I'd do like you do and hunt the different tracks for decent payoffs....also I would be checking current payoff probabilities at ARL. on-line to get a better idea of the bes...

Rick...sorry to abandon you because your picks only need a little tweaking I think, but...lolArlington has such low exacta averages (under $40) that I have switched to Lone Star (avg. over $100), Indiana Downs ($95), and Belmont ($76). They might be harder to hit, but the payoff will be worth it.Good Luck though, keep humping...lol

For the Memorial Day weekend players, here is the lastest Arlington Park update. Numbers listed are program numbers not post positions. (although they are always the same unless they race a coupling, which gives you a couple horses for the price of one...I believe 1 and 1A came in 1st and second the other day paying something over 19.00 for the win spot)Hottest 6 winning program numbers are: 5, 7, 4, 1, 3, 6Hottest exactas with the winning program numbers are:5-4, 7-5, 4-6, 1-4, 3-2, 6-5Good

Brdman I know this is late (first race already went off).I like your picks a lot today....the #7 and #1 have really heated up and your all covered in the middle.Still a middle post bias, current exacta/post picks are 5-4, 7-1 , 1-2, 4-6, 6-5, 2-4Good luck, players

Keep it up Rick, your getting there. For Saturday, I would play the ex..17/136...and maybe the tri the same way. Good Luck

Rick G — Fri, 21 May 2004 16:58:12 GMT

Update for the weekend players...There continues to be a bias for the middle posts.#5 is still the hottest. Hottest post/exactas in order are:5-3, 4-6 (paid 152.40 in yesterday's 7th), 7-3, 2-4, 6-5Remember to look for the value plays....Good luck and good racing

Right you are Brdman...that's why I think you can make more money playing the races as a lottery instead of analyzing the talent.With the rain we had yesterday, it will be interesting to see if the middle posts bias continues today.Talk to ya later...

Very interestin Rick. I will probably play arlington park a few times but at this time of year there are tracks I like better. Those are some huge exactas you are looking at though.Good Luck

Re: Arlington Park horse racing

Rick G — Tue, 18 May 2004 20:05:28 GMT

In the first few days of the meet there is a decided bias for the middle posts. (As opposed to Hawthorne's inner post bias, this could be due to the amount of rain we've had lately and the drainage contour of the track, but it's too early to tell.)Hottest program number right now is #5.Hottest exactas are 5-3, 5-4, 5-6, 4-6, 4-7, 6-5(Note the middle posts bias...In the 9th on Sunday the exacta was 5-6 paying $388 on the exacta and the winner #5 paid something like $64 for the win.
