There are always some but nowadays 2 million is pretty much the ceiling.The Green Monkey was at the height of the market when horses were going for 2 million that today would go for 250k.

I've never seen odds change so much at a racetrack. My heads spinning.

josicoyote · 09-12-11, 02:53 PM

Aren't many places that handicap this track.

mikemca · 09-12-11, 04:31 PM

Congrats Powerhouse on winning today's contest with a total of $54

Yeah whoever makes the morning lines isn't that good but that is usually a good thing for bettors.Its just going to take a few tries to figure the track out.That is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've paid attention to a Kentucky Downs full card.

josicoyote · 09-12-11, 05:16 PM

The hard part is hardly anyone handicaps this racetrack. I like to do comparisons. They certainly don't have their in house handicappers. Their site isn't user friendly either. I can see that the smaller tracks seem to have better payouts.

zebra58 · 09-12-11, 06:33 PM

phouse nice win, congrats

Very true, if you have never followed this track before it would seem to be incredibly hard to jump right in.

powerhouse · 09-12-11, 08:39 PM

Wow, Thanks a bunch Guys !!...I really needed a pick me up to get my confidence back. Got a big kick down the stretch with Bankellie in the 3rd and had to rally with my best bet horse in the last to get by Dexter. Feels Great as I surely needed the booster shot. I'm all in now as the confidence is back and I plan on being extra tough tomorrow !!

Thanks again and Good Luck tomorrow.....house !!
