Default Need help at Presque Isle!

I like the timing of this tracks races but can't find the range.

Where can I get some good info? Where is Doug? I can't find anything from him.

This is what I find useful for finding the range.

Tough crowd.

You can find my brilliance in the cities only paper ... which beat out the Philly and Pittsburgh fish wraps when voted PA Newspaper of the Year in 2009 -- my picks and occasional columns put them over the top in the voting that year.

15 minutes to the 3rd now. Here's the rest of tonight:

Jesus you defintely need help, you used to sound like me. You need help especially if you are playing Tuesday races from Presque Isle.

My motto used to be play everything I can because someone has to win, and why cant it be me

Tuesday is by far and away the best day to bet PID -- they card the toughest races with the biggest fields on Tuesday -- and they take A LOT of TVG money ... they handle better on Tuesday than any other day during the week.

The cards are TOUGH on Tuesday. Shippers galore -- surface switches galore.

I knew I was opening a can of worms! Thanks for the info. I went to their website but couldn't find them. Too much high school football and kids racing shitbox stockcars on 1/4 ovals.

I tell them to hide my picks in a super secret location on the website so it protects my ROI.

2-for-6 top-pick with the winners paying only $5.20 and $4.40 -- that type of performance gets you heckled in Erie.

That big Inside-Speed bias wasn't there at all at PID tonight to say the least. Had it been -- it would have carried my pace setters in the 3rd and 4th home.

The horse in the 3rd was completely loose turning for home -- and wasn't running any real strong pace numbers to do it -- and he got absolutely swallowed in the final furlong.

I'm still trying to make a case for the winner in the last. The Beyer par was 58 and two horses that had never run that number in their life finish 1-2

Everyone else in the entire fields last fig was 6 points below par for the class level. So it was a below par type race for the class level on paper.

If you're looking for reasons why those two might have improved -- the winner in the last got a significant jock switch to the best rider here and more importantly -- he's a one dimensional closer and this track today was as friendly to closers as it's been pretty much all season.

The 2nd place finisher simply got a loose lead for the first time all year.

As for making a case for them -- neither one had a case going in. They just ran their best and the others didn't.

My bankroll has been taking a beating. I needed a helping hand and boom!! Just like that I walk out of the OTB with a wad off cash. Best day I had in weeks!

Thanks again.
