It seems we have a lot of bettors who have become disinterested in half mile racing. I prefer the bigger tracks also. The only half mile track I play is Maywood and I thought I would share a little angle I use there that works pretty well. Since MAY only races on Thur/Fri there are many horses with BMLP lines, so we must consider what to do with those lines.
1) posts 1-5 and 9 are the posts that we consider positive.
2) posts 6-8 and All BMLP races are considered excusable races.
We are looking for a horse that is starting tonight from a positive post.
The horse's last race must be an excusable one.
More than one excusable race in a row is OK.
When we get to a line that has a positive post , the horse must have been the betting favorite.
So what we are looking for is a horse that was the betting favorite followed up by poor posts or BMLP races. The program might look like this.
#3 tonight
post 8 in last start
BMLP race in start before that
post 2 betting favorite in start before that.
Many times we are playing a horse that is a good price that was the favorite a few starts back at the same class. The more blackened the horse's lines get, the better the chance for a price.
I need to make a point that I do not play any other half mile tracks and would not know the success of this angle at these tracks. But at MAY you will catch some nice prices with this if you wait for the angle to appear.
Good luck to all , Stick
