The track I just can't beat

[betchatoo]

Just curious if anyone else has this phenomonon. Most tracks I go through streaks of highs and lows. Some tracks I seem to do well on a steady basis. But no matter what I do I can't pick a winner at Turf Paradise. I've tried different methods, different speed and pace figures, nothing helps me at this track. I have been smart enough to stop playing it with real money, but even doing mind bets, I can't win (no wonder I seem to be losing my mind).

Does anyone else have that track you just can't beat?

Mountaineer. Might as well throw a dart..............

[keilan]

yep -- Mountaineer is as tough as they get for me also

I have very little luck at Calder, I rarely ever bet it anymore.

Fairplex and that bullring's unusual placement of the starting gate.

Factor in horses and a jockey colony not accustomed to the tight turns,
and that ruins what otherwise would be a solid play on a mile track.

You may get your wish, It will probably be a Mile track next year.

Ellis Park, Turfway, Keeneland, Quit Fairplex two yrs ago!!

Turfway finally came to end yesterday---no more pain like yesterday at Turfway--seconditis there--cannot buy a winner TPX!

All the best,

My kryptonite is Charles Town. I couldn't pick a winner there even if I hit the "all" button. Calder, Gulfstream and Penn National are other places where it is super hard for me to make a buck.

I do however like Turf Paradise.

Philly Park, A tough one for me. JimL

Hoosier Park... Sometimes I watch horses wire the field there and look at the horse for 5 minutes trying to figure out one even minute sign that I missed... Most of the time I cannot find it.

Kentucky Downs. I'm swearing off that track for good. Hopefully they will never get more than 4 dates a year. I also could mention Del Mar and Woodbine but other than a real big stakes, I just completely avoid those tracks. I saw some mention Mountaineer; every time I see the track it seems like its sloppy so I never play it.

Mountaineer....

I used to be frustrated with Mountaineer until I changed my mindset playing there.. I realized that I may only hit 1-2 races there on a given night.. But that's all you need. I may be completely off the board in the other 8, but hitting one nice $90 exacta makes the night..

I don't miss too many races there at the wire, it's feast or famine..
