Title: Delta Downs?
Post by: Al Caught Up on October 18, 2016, 04:36:49 PM
Anyone play that track with much success? I see that the takeout on Pick 4s has been cut to 12 percent and am tempted to take a shot, but I\'d love to hear from anybody who has played Vinton to talk me out of it...

Checked the entries for Wed and between the 12% takeout and big fields, some will
find the wager irresistible. With increasing amounts of stats and info available
on jocks and trainers, the unfamiliarity factor is not so much a factor anymore.
Louisiana is a great racing state and I hope the wager is well received. Download
some TGs, give it a go and file a full reprt, but remember:

richiebee rarely fails to entertain. He\'s done it again while making a good point in his inimitable style.

Impressions, just my impression I\'ve always ending up feeling like I was playing against the house @ DeD. Reminiscent of my playing blackjack at the Cal Neva Club in North Lake Tahoe in 1975. Marveling at the italian ambience and how I could loose every hand? Convinced I had been cheated and I still remember the look in the dealers eye which said I\'m sorry but the pit boss standing next to us had no such compunctions.

According to memory which is very suspect these days. Several of the established riders will win a race. i.e. Gerard Melancon, Steve Bourque, as well as pilots such as Diego Saenz and their newest flower Ashly Broussard.

Of course the greatest oddity of all are the sheets. The numbers oh the numbers odd to play a 25 even when no other has bettered 30! Many very competitive races doesn\'t necessarily guarantee bombers but they\'re not uncommon.

Sheets sure to reveal some pricey horses and remembering usually one only needs one.  Hopefully the fog won\'t come in.

Good Luck!

Howe Amazing an aptly named winner.

At last they haven\'t lost their sense of humor in the bayou.
