Sam Houston
Anyone else playing there? Decent size fields, 12% take on PK3 and PK4's. Nice little grass course. Its nice to play on friday and saturday nights and there is a card today (monday) during the day. Sure beats playing philly.

i like houston, but i'd like to see them come up with morning lines that are at least somewhat realistic. secretariat himself probably would have been 6-1 ml if he ran there.

I've been playing, but it takes me a while to become familiar with a track, so I'm playing small. Can't be 12% takeout, so I'm doing what I can to familiarize myself as quickly as possible.

Yea the morning lines are way off always it seems. Also very slow in adjusting the position numbers during the races.

It's 12% on Pick 3s, Pick 4s are 21%.

didn't take long tonight to have yet another ridiculous morning line.
first race 3-1 winner master jehu is 10-1 morning line off a 52 beyer with danny pish training. 7-5 favorite swift flyer is 9-2 morning line off a 53 beyer and over half his races over 50.
meanwhile 5-2 morning line favorite sunkindofnothin is off since october and off beyers of 27 and 30 with a top of 42. horse goes off 7-1.
get real houston.

The morning line in tomorrow's 5th race at Sam Houston might be the worst in the history of horse racing. If the 10 horse goes off at 20-1, I'll need to be resuscitated.
