Time to take a look a back and account for 2009. (http://gregcalabrese.blogspot.com/2009/12/play-of-day-year-in-review.html) My strengths were based on location. Aqueduct was a goldmine. Saratoga was a complete disaster while Belmont was cosi cosi. Dirt/turf or sprint/route only had marginal differences. Thank god for record keeping, discipline, confidence and MS
excel.

The main thing I learned is that the game can be beat; in fact it can be brutally beaten with the existential handicapping principles discussed in the play of the day posts (http://gregcalabrese.blogspot.com/search/label/play%20of%20the%20day). In an era of "computer cappers" and outsourcing handicapping to commercial speed figures - having a holistic understanding of the game may be more profitable that ever.

If I've learned anything on this forum (and others) it's that if you're winning:

1) you're barely breaking even but getting a HEFTY rebate

2) you're not betting SYNTHETICS

3) which means, you're NOT betting Woodbine


:rolleyes:


Good to hear, otherwise.

If you believe those are the correct amounts, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
