For me it would be anything in the larcenous state of Pennslyvania. Come on 30% takeout, are you kidding me, just call it Horse Lotto you greasy scumbags.
Also Chalkquaduct (stole that from someone here and love it) seems to perform in line with it's name. Yuck. There seem to be price horses there at times but I never seem to be able to locate them.

Any track that has a majority of 5-6 horse chalk laden fields :faint:

LRL & PIM. 200 entries reduced to four betting interests trained by 73% trainers Wolfendale, Feliciano, Lake and Pino.

GG/BM, five horse fields with four juicers (Holly,Miyadi,Martin and Sherman) and some other random guy that shoes horses in his spare time and hasn't won a race in 11 years. Shall I bet the 6-5 Holly/Baze horse or go for some value with the 7/5 Miyadi/Garcia steed...

For me it would have to be Mountaineer. I've spent countless hours trying to figure out that track because of the meaty payoffs with no luck. Nothing seems to work consistantly there for me. I know that I must be missing something though, because on the boards I know there are plenty of people who love Mountaineer!

Turf Paradise. I could bet every horse in the race and still not have the winner

If you follow the trainers a little more closely at MNR , it may lead you to a few big scores ;)

Any track where the feature race is a 10000 claimer. I am terrible at judging low end races

10000 a low end? Maybe in NY or SoCal. Not most places.

I hardly ever play Woodbine. Maybe have bet 25 races there in my life and to my knowledge, I've NEVER cashed a ticket there.

No where that is the high end big race for the card or even the week

For a CHEAP track, try Rillito in Tucson... as I used to say when I lived there, "Home of the Weekday $986 Feature!" That's NOT a misprint... on weekdays, the so-called feature was $986 (couldn't someone have passed the hat and collect another lousy $14?)!!!

I never have any luck at Mountaineer, either. And despite handicapping Philly Park every day for the last 10 years, some of the results there continue to mystify me. Especially the bottom maiden-eights and the cheap-o $4,000 types from guys that couldn't train Lassie to bark.

Really dislike from a handicapping standpoint:

Turf Paradise
Turfway Park
Any NoCal tracks
Fairplex
Philly Park
Suffolk
Finger Lakes
Beulah/Thistle/River - Although the twins get high marks :jump:

Any track with a dominant jockey (like Leparoux @ TP) and I also try to avoid tracks with too many "Super Trainers".

Any sprint race in which the 'warriors' haven't been able to muster a 70 Beyer in the past calender year. Has a horse at Turfway, Hawthorne, etc. ever ran a 70? :D
