Wednesday 5/20 Play-along

[philcski]

More Woodbine madness... longest two shots run 1-2 and the rest look like they're running in quicksand. They used to have a great dirt track and replaced it with this garbage.

-$52 // -$28 on day

I think this is just WPS, any amount up to the amount of your bankroll, only Monmouth Park. It gets pretty crazy at the end, people firing their entire roll at 30-1 shots.

Sounds pretty interesting. I have to help my friend move so I won't be at this one. Does Monmouth hold these things often? I don't think I've ever seen one at Philadelphia Park, though I probably wasn't looking for it.

Yeah, about once a month. Think there's a schedule on that brochure, plus they have a big one at Meadowlands every year that's great. It's really hard though, I've only cashed once in about 10 tournament tries. The guys that play them are really, really good.

I'd imagine they're really tough. You mentioned having 2 entires. Can you play two different cards?

And sorry for all the questions. I've bet on horses for a while but have just started getting into it a little more.

Yes- Up to two entries for this one, and it's almost a necessity to use multiple to be competitive. Whatever the maximum number of entries is what you should expect to be investing if you really want to have a chance.
