good luck to you

good luck to you

Bought the form and will study at work tonight. It may be a sealed track again at the fairgrounds. No strategy as of yet. I do know with only ten races if you catch a shot early you have a Huge Advantage.

Got mine all figured out and looking at a bunch of 5-1 shots through the cards that i like
gonna use #1 savage man in the 10th at the fairgrounds for one play. Take a peak at it.

not a tour member, always entered the non tour qualifiers, curious have any of you ever qualified for the vegas championship over the years?

[thezbar]

Never Qualified for the National tournament but have won free rolls to the HPWS twice. Cashed in other tournaments namely xpressbet and Orleans over the past five years.

I think Dominguez figures in all the New York races, but I plan to use him only once. I'm looking for a longshot, a midd range horse and one fav at New york. May use the board at the Fairgrounds as my guide as there are several maiden races. Hoping to get lucky and make the correct moves on the day.

Finished Around 280 out of 1600. Good prep effort for later events.

[joeyp1222]

i bombed only thing i picked was all w fairgrounds races but i changed machen and thunder chop at last minute (dummy) and i had 4 other shows a good warm up for the later contests coming.

[thezbar]

I had both Santa Anita races and the first event at The Fair Grounds. Threw up on air ball at New York! Got shut out in the second event at the Fair Grounds. It was a late post but there closed it off at the scheduled post time event though the horse were still in the paddock. Lesson learned there!
