I've only wagered AP a few times recently (used to a lot when I lived near that track). The Sartin methodology does work there, some days are just better than others.
I had a day in May where I had the winner in the top 2 bl/bl 8 of 11, 9 of 11 top 3. Another day not so good 3 winners out of 7 races.
My line selections are pretty much standard best of the last three comparable, keeping an eye out to not use a line that may be a anomaly or a race where the horse really did not participate other than being there.
I did wager on the card that Richie posted (Thanks Richie) but I did not download the card I just went with what was posted. I did not consider wagering the turf races because I've never tried using best of all turf lines showing. I pick lines the same for all races.
As it turned out I only wagered one race on the card, the 2nd. As posted the readout showed 8 3 1 10 on bl/bl. The 10 being a binder improver. Since the odds were so high on the 8 & 10 and I didn't trust that the 3 would lose I went with the other pools as the Doc has talked about.
Bets: 8 & 10 place & show. Results: 3 10 8. The 10 pays 23.80 & 9.00 the 8 pays 5.80 to show. With just $2 wagers a person would have picked up over $30 profit. Since I made my money for the day I just watched the rest of the races at AP, I was mainly working CD that day.
Anyway I find races with lower class and gray areas can be profitable but sometimes you have to look deeper than the win pool. Of course with to many gray areas I just pass.
Maybe someone else will post about AP I have not been there in person for quite awhile. I was there before it burnt down and I was there wagering from tents while it was rebuilt. The place used to be a real first class operation, even keeping an employee in the bathroom full time to make sure you had what you needed and everything was clean.
