![]() Hi guys, just killing time while playing this hollywood friday night card.
I was just curious, what is your luckiest track and unluckiest track of all-time? The track where everything seems to make sense, and the track where no matter what, can't even cash a 1/5 favorite. For me, i would go with Hollywood Park for my luckiest track, for some reason, It makes sense there. Unluckiest, I think I would have to go with the fairgrounds. I like the track, but I don't think I have ever cashed a winning ticket there. ![]() |

![]() best-Kentucky tracks
worst-West Virginia tracks I will say this- never give up on the worst tracks.Time (and practice) can turn the tables. Never get too cocky at the best tracks, they're stabilizers for the bad times. |

![]() 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.

![]() I've always thought that it wasn't handicappers adapting to tracks, as much as it was specific tracks playing into ones innate skills as a handicapper. In other words, we all look at races a certain way. Some tracks play into our skill set and give us success, some don't and break us. When I say "tracks", I mean the physical track and of course the usual horse/trainer population.
Luck: Kee Suck: Florida

![]() 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.

![]() 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.
