I had 4 winners of 10 at Hawthorne, one paid $19 and one paid $20. Unfortunately, the wagering menu is as important as picking good priced winners. You need the rolling P3s and doubles to rack up the points. It is early in the contest, but we need to make sure we pick some price horses. Forget exactas and doubles, P3s will win this contest. Pick your prices and hope you are right and that it is in the right races.

I had a 25-1 shot finish 2nd (a distant 2nd, but still) last week and have missed a few pik 3's winning every other race. So we're close on a few. We just need a day when everything clicks.

Lets say you are a good handicapper and are going to go with a good favorite and a mid priced horses. If you are really good, you should be able to pick 50% with those 2 horses using that strategy. Note I said good at picking a strong contender and good vaule horse...Not two chalk horses.
