Horse racing ?

[Doug]

What's a good site to find odds and race numbers for Del Mar and that other track in the SKY contest. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just to find out which horses are the favorites so I can make a reasonable pick 3 guess. Horses aren't my thing.

If you go to Del Mar's website, www.dmtc.com, and create an online profile (free) then enter their handicapping contest you can get free PP's for the one race each day that the contest uses.

What races are pick 3 and pick 5 based on ?

The last three and last five races on the card.

Thanks ! Is Saratoga the same way ?

Dumb question ? That site shows the #10 horse as fav, but everybody picks #11 in race 8, in race #9 , the 8 horse is favored and popular here. I see scratches. How do you tell how the scratches effect post position ?


The 11 in race #8 has to be the fav based on picks here, but that website would lead me to think #10 should be the pick !

you see how they are not the same

<!--StartFragment -->

 

[kidslick]

you see hoe there is no 4 horse
on the first list

this happans many times
my best advice is to go to one of your accounts look at each horse race

to make sure you have the right numbered horse

when making a selection

I would try

I could tell 10 became 11, by the picks. I know the basics, I just hardly ever bet horses ( sometimes years between bets). I'm just playing the contest !

Thanks, guys !
