Christmas Eve racing cards

[trying2win]

--Not surprisingly, most racetracks thoroughbred or harness, are closed on Christmas Eve. The only two exceptions I know of are Philadelphia Park and Monticello Raceway.

--Even though the two above-mentioned racetracks are operating on Dec. 24, I noticed one betting company...i.e. EBETUSA.COM will not be offering betting on these tracks for this day. Is this the same with most other U.S. based betting companies on this day as well?

--I know the offshore racebook, EHORSE.COM will offering wagering on Christmas Eve at Philadelphia Park and Monticello Raceway. So, for some of us racetrack addicts, we can still get our fix for this day via this website at least.

--I don't usually play Philadelphia Park or Monticello Raceway, but
I'll probably make a few small bets on these tracks on Dec. 24, just for the fun of it. How about everybody else on this day? Will you be sending in some bets, or taking the day off from wagering?

Thanks,

--I just checked the SELECTIONS section here at the PA site.
No one's listed anything they like for the Philadelphia Park race card for Dec. 24 yet.

--Any chance someone might list something?


Thanks,

Please note, these are MY selections, not HSH's selections.
HSH is the tool box; I'm the handicapper.

I've chosen the contenders, created Handicapping Objects and linked them to specific Events.

Also please note, this is designed to interact with live odds So, you'll have to use your own judgment as to altering the Opt%.

The probabilities embody jockey and pace. So, any rider changes and/or program scratches which affect the race shape will alter the probabilities.

Merry Christmas!

According to my charts you hit 50% winners.

R1 #10 paid $8.80

R2 #3 paid $3.30

R6 #7 paid $3.00

R7 #6 paid $4.40

Had you bet $2 to win per race you would have netted $3.40 for the day.

David, If you don't mind sharing, did you bet more on some races than on others and did you play any exotics or multiple race plays like the daily double or pick 3/4.

Thanks,
