How To Discover Mislabeled Wet Tracks

"How many times the tote board fooled you by posting 'FAST' track ... when it was actually Wet?

In other words, a horse that consistently loses on a normally fast track can become the class of the race on a wet surface ... and put a huge payoff in your pocket.

And, you don't want to miss out on such an opportunity.

Some Clues That Indicate Wet Tracks are, as follows:

 

  • It usually takes two days for a track to dry out ...  a turf surface may take longer;
  • Jockeys' silks are covered with mud;
  • The fronts of closing horses are muddied;
  • Jockeys' pant legs are down, protecting their boots from mud and/or water;
  • Some of the horses' tails are tied up;
  • Look for mud on the horses' leg bandages;
  • Take a look outside and/or watch the monitor;
  • And, by all means, please remember that the tote board has limitations."1
If you find none of the above conditions, then the track is probably "Fast" ... however, if any of these indicators are present, begin wagering on Mud Winners that won at that particular class level.

And, you should see a rise in your win percentage and profits.

One might ask: "What about tracks labeled as "Good", and how do you classify a 'Wet Fast' track?"

Well, a track condition that is labeled as "Good" is a track that is in transition ... either it is drying out, or it is becoming Wet.

And, here's the answer for the second part of the question ... the "Wet" in the "Wet Fast" label indicates that the track is actually "Wet".

And wet is "Wet" ... Whether It's Listed As: "Good", "Muddy" And/Or "Sloppy".
