O.T. Handicappying the greyhounds!

[Dolfan]

If anyone ever visits gulf shores or orange beach. There is this bar on Bama fla border right on the gulf called florabama. Best bar ever! Only like 10 minutes from are condo.  Maybe Dolfan has been there?

Might as well be in Australia!  I am about 10 driving hours from the border.

Maybe I will try the Gulfstream casino...can probably walk there from where I am staying.  Maybe try the dogs Monday or Tuesday...guess it depends on the work schedule.  Or how much pool time I need after work!   

You won't see CalX at Gulfstream or dogs.

Mags, what makes the 3&4 the worst? Do they get squeezed after the start? I don't know squat about dog racing.

Js there's usually a little colliding as the dogs come out of the box and with the outside dogs breaking and coming inward and some midtrack dogs coming out of the rail positions it can get a little tight in the first turn. Thats why if you can get a midtrack liking dog out of the 7 or 8 hole to pop the box he may be able to go wire to wire. Naturally the 3,4 &5 are positioned to take the brunt of the bumping from either side. I still loved going there and wish it was still open

Thanks for the answer. Makes sense to me, kinda like I figured. Are there any 'late closers' in dog racing, or are they beat when they get away toward the back?

yea sometimes closers can win especially if they break slow and shoot thru the first turn as the dogs in front of them bump each other wide. Also they do have races at different distances usually 5/16 sprints, 3/8 long distance and 7/16 occasionally for a marathon race. The 3/8 races start near a turn like yonkers does so inside position usually helps on those even if the dog is a "closer"..you just hope he avoids trouble till he gets out of the turn.

Sorrento Warrior was the Dog's name who they called "super pup". We would go almost every Sat night he raced and it seemed like he set the track record 6 weeks in a row. I am with ya mags, loved going there.

When we go to vegas, T my Mom and I still play them. One of the tracks in Florida has a 2500K guarantee on there pick 4 We are in!

Oh yeah 1 more thing, they had a contest to name their lure. The Lure was a bone, so T submitted that the lure should be named "Boner". he didn't win

Ahhh, the Dairyland days.  I remember "50-cent night" and seeing a guy carrying a tray of 7 beers and then me realizing that it was only $3.50!

I once took down an entire super pool with my buddy...we each had a winning ticket and we were the only winners in the $3K pool.

Some useful tips:

1. Bet any dog that shows a good closing kick.  If that dog happens to get out of the box quickly, the race is over.

2. Good early speed helps.

3. Bet the highest quinella probable.  For Christ's sake, their dogs!

Seriously, no one mentioned the most obvious angle?

Bet the dog that takes a crap in the post parade.

If I was driving in the Hambo I might poop just a little in the post parade.
