Played some Canterbury last night. They have a pretty good betting product in my opinion. Some large fields, turf racing, some Tampa trainers, and Chip Woolley.
In race 4, I liked a Tim Padilla entrant. He’s one of my go-to Tampa trainers and horse drifted to 21-1. Played win, exacta, and tri. Horse wires the field and pays $44. Whiffed on exotics.
Race 6, liked a Chip Woolley horse. Won easy at 5-1. Cashed out plus $300 for night.
However, here’s the lesson. A pick 3 singling both horses, with ALL in the middle, would’ve cost $10. Which I didn’t do. It paid $2500.
That’s the difference between a rec player like me and a professional player. Pro’s absolute crush the races the rare times they are correct. I collect a measly pittance the rare times I am correct.
Its nice to be able to pick a long shot now and then, but betting it correctly is a whole nother animal.
