Del Mar's turf (the putting green) is so cut down that it often runs like a dirt course with early speed MUCH more prominent that the Eastern Turf courses.

So far (at Barbs suggestion) I have run several Turf races at several different tracks. AP, Dmr, Sar,and GP to mention a few.
Following the guidelines I have had several high paying win and place horses along with exactas and even a tri in the final contenders.

Check out the results at Dmr in race 6 yesterday.
With those kind of hits we can all have a great year. I posted them on Tim Ys original post

This strategy and method of working these races certainly has some potential.

Today at Parx I ran the 6th race, a 5f Turf race.
my final 4horses were;
#2 at 9/5
#4 at 7/5
#11 at 8/1
#12 at 7/1
I played the 11 & 12 to win
#12 won a 16.20 payoff
I passed the exacta and tri,but had both in the final 4.
1.00 exacta 37.40
.50 tri 47.50

So far at all the tracks I have tested the TPP and TT guidelines as Barb has suggested on Turf I have had very good results.

I want to post the 8th race from today, Thursday, at Saratoga. This race propelled me to a 2nd place finish in a small $500 contest i was in today and was a key race for me in my own wagering.

The first thing i want to bring up about this race is line selection. As Barb reminded me the other day, turf horses usually dont have a specific form cycle. You will notice that i used lines 4 and 5 back for a few horses, and would have been willing to go back even further if it was necessary. Line selection on turf and line selection on dirt are a bit different, for me at least.

Next, i often find myself as i am sure many of you others do as well, overthinking things. Earlier in the day i had a #1 ranked horse win at 5/1 and i didn't bet him or use him in my contest because i got to caught up in a class drop he was making, but in hindsight it was a necessary class drop and should have been used everywhere in my contest and my wagering. You will notice that #3 PROMOTIONAL is the top ranked horse in the field. That was encouraging but what allowed me to use her in my contest play and also bet heavily in my own wagering was the fact that all of the most important readouts for this type of race, fit to a T. She was top ranked in HID energy as well as top ranked in TT and 2nd in LPR. This was a standout to me, as i am sure it was to many of you. Sometimes you just have to keep it simple!

With all of that being said, if any of you had this horse today or any different opinions on this race, feel free to share.

Aren't you introducing significant sample error by only using a single line??
