Emerald Downs 2017 :)
http://emeralddowns.com/
The 2017 racing season is upon us!!!! Saturday night is opening night with 1st post at 8 PM eastern, 5 PM Pacific.
To me, the best kept secret, in USA racing, is EMERALD DOWNS!
REDUCED TAKEOUT of 15% on Pick 5's and the Pick 7 (not a jackpot )
Near average field size of 8 per race in the opening night card.
An awesome, caring CEO, fans in the stands, MANY of them, a hard riding colony (very few-let's rate till they can't breathe rides), very few "Supertrainers", formful racing, fantastic post times, an energetic TV crew/ANNOUNCER and subtle track biases.
The countdown is now at 73 hours and 35 minutes

I could be wrong but Emerald seems to have the BEST female jockey colony in the USA year in, year out.

Don't think I've ever bet Emerald Downs before. I will follow and see if I can cash a few. Good luck to you.

Was not afraid to whip left handed around the far turn, which is a key to success here. (Most jocks hit right handed around the far turn here because the turn is irregularly shaped, and they think there horse will get out - unfortunately, hitting right handed almost causes the horses to "stutter step" and they lose momentum)
IMHO - Would rank as one of the top 2 or 3 young jockeys to start (or nearly start) their career at Hastings over the past couple of decades.
Go get em EMD....
