Whomever said anything about Parx being a second rate track...

Is SPOT ON...
So, the track does not offer a Superfecta wager on the 12th race which just so happened to be the PA Derby...A full field of 12.....
The running order had 10-1, followed by a 5-1, 61-1 and 22-1
Meanwhile, in their infinite wisdom, the track offers a SFC on the previous race, the Cotillion which started 6 with an odds on favorite which was there for a 'pari-mutuel workout'...And guess what happens the SFC pool was $120k of which the track took $36k( 30% takeout) and the dime super paid....EIGHTY FIVE cents......So.....Who is asleep at the wheel? Who's decision was it to keep the betting schedule as is and who was it that did not notice that the Super was a crappy bet on a six horse field and leave out one for a field of 12 in Grade 2 event.....Perhaps the right question is "who should be fired first?"....
BTW, Keith Jones, announcer at Parx seemingly forever, still getting it done.
He may not be the best, but he's got a good voice, is easy to understand, doesn't get too emotional. Steady....

was not listed in the equibase charts..
I could have missed it..I will look again...
Anyway, the point is, why have a super wager on a field of 6..No logic there.
Nope..Not listed.
Here's the equibase chart.....I guess equibase dropped the ball here.

I think Keith is a very good race caller. He could move on to bigger and better tracks if he choose too.

The point is that you were totally wrong on your original point. Probably should put your tail between your legs and walk away, but yet you keep on going. Maybe if you knew the PA Derby was the 11th and not the 12th?
Another stellar post in a long line of stellar posts by you.

This was a great racecard and day of racing with plenty of opportunities to make money. If you're going to be a bitch, at least bitch correctly.

I like Parx, although I only bet exactas, win, or the doubles because of the high takeout. When I was getting rebates I bet the trifectas, too. What I like most about Parx, it's a sustained track. Yesterday there was only one wire to wire winner on the card, in a 6f sprint.

Exactly Pandy. Don't make bets where the takeout rapes you. I find good bets at square prices on both turf and dirt. The facility and some of the takeouts aren't as ideal as other places but the outcomes predictable and prices IMO without any research just as good. I play where I can win and feel confident more often than not in the results. Parx is one place.

Several years ago when I was almost exclusively a trifecta player I decided I would only play exactas at Parx due to the takeout. After several days of this I reviewed my results and found I cost myself several hundred dollars by playing exactas instead of trifectas.

And now you're a superfecta grinder?

Hey, why the personal attack?
Ya know what. forget it. The charts state there was no super on the PA Derby. You failed to come up with data that supports your claim.
Now, if you feel the desire to make this personal, have the stones to PM me.
Otherwise, take your temper elsewhere.

Sorry. I looked at both the equibase and drf.com charts. Neither site reported it. The links are above in my previous posts.
Now, how is it I am getting flamed here for going on the information available?

BTW, if you don't like what I post, something at which I am MUCH better than you, don't read or respond.
I did not insult you. Nor did I address you.
BTW, you'd be surprised how what comes around goes around.
We are adults here. Get it?
