I am like you as I only play sprint races and find that I have to cherrie pick to find two or three possible plays. I play mostly cheap to middle class tracks, like HAW, SUFFOLK,MNR and TDN when it is downloadable and Beu. I try to find at least 3 or 4 races in the entries before I download a track.
As for the ???s about cheap tracks I have always used Doc`s guidelines of best of last three along with the + & 0`s.
I have found that my win % in the top three V/DC ranges from 55 to 75% as the class of track increases. The mutuals are usually a little higher at the lowest class tracks. I also try to keep my minimum odds at 3 or 4 to 1.
Best of luck to all.
Thanks for the reply.

See my comment to "Barb" regarding jockeys.

So you are already a "cheap claimer" guy. Good!

And you are "cherry picking" for prices of 3/1 or 4/1, is that correct or is there some other reason?

What, exactly, is it that you are looking for in the entries before you download a card?

Why don't you play the route races?
Do you have a particular problem with the route races?
