Hollywood Park track

[stormbringer]

I have been working the races at hollywood since opening day. I got my book modern pace handicappingand reread what Brohamer said about THE DECISION MODELI QUOTE BROHAMER"THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WINNING AND RECORD KEEPING IS NOT CASUAL. IT IS DIRECT AND MUST BE MAINTAINED OVER TIME, THE EFFORT CAN BE DISCOURAGING WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING AT YOUR WORST,BUT THE LONG- TERM REWARDS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT. PERSONAL INSIGHT ARE NOT THE LEAST OF THE BENEFITS TO BE GAINED.page 167. Today I was on pace and cap Reading and hearing the KC tapes reading RIchie picking winners off just 2ND call times at Delta downs...WOW HE GREAT! then watching the video that Bender "admin" made
He makes it look so.... easy! Not! And then there is Froggy his summary of the preakness is well fantasic. So guys I need some help. Today I noticed that the horses that had run over the polytrack or what ever kind of track it is the "cousion track" were winning. do you guys think that makes much differances. And I do rember Dommican and the derby. do any of you know the differance between polytrack and Hollywood track. thanks for the help .

Hollywood Park went to Poly last year. As best I recall there are two companies that make the polytrack material. Dont know which company Hollywood Park used but either way it is basically the same at all tracks with the polytrack. They redid some of the track at Woodbine as the material was not doing good in the cold as I recall. Anyway all track in California will be going to Poly except where they run Quarter horses. I try to use Hol lines when handicapping if possible but once you keep records of what is working for distances etc. Just go with the flow as this will be the only game in town.
