Woodbine (New Tapeta)
 

I know we have an excellent group of Pace and Cap members that play Woodbine, and I was hoping you could fill me in on any noticeable track bias with the new Tapeta surface?

I have only handicapped a few races so I will be watching a lot of the previous races, but any information you may have will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

out side post has a hard time winning. Speed on the inside, lately sustain has done well. As of now I consider the tack favouring early.

Cigar, Thanks for your input!

Much appreciated!!

I have not started playing Woodbine yet this season, I figure to start in another week or two.

I am starting to put together a Brohamer type track profile. I just finished April. Out of 82 sprints, I show 24 "E" winners, 18 "EP", 14 "P", and 26 "S". That "S" number might too high to be representative long term, because a lot of them were in 6 or 7 horse fields where it is a lot easier to come from 4 or 5 lengths off the pace than if you have a bigger herd in front of you.

Only 6 routes in April, too early to tell.

Mike, Thanks!

Looks like at this point it's leaning somewhat early.

Good info!!

Thanks again, Mike

The Woodbine web site has a round table discussion with a number of handicappers about their experiences with Tapeta. I posted this in another thread a while back, but it may have gotten buried. Here it is again:

To update, a total of 14 routes to date, April and May, all at 1 1/16. There were 5 "E" winners, 1 "EP", 3 "P", and 5 "S".

In May so far, another 31 sprints with 8 "E", 1 "EP", 11 "P", and 11 "S" winners.

While April had a preponderance of 5f and 5 1/2f sprints, May was mostly 6f, 6 1/2f, and 7f.

Mike, I will check it out!

Thanks for the additional information!!

Mike
