2nd favorite HTR factor

[MtKen]

Your favorite HTR factor & your 2nd favorite thing to do is well documented on this board.
I don't care what your 3rd favorite thing is (personally, like Mike Dee, I spend too much time wondering why the Tribe gets 14 hits but only 2 runs) but I'd like to know what everyone looks at to confirm the #1 factor or what they look at in lieu of #1. So I'll try this again, 3rd times a charm.

Cliff What I want to know is how did you become and Indians fan? You can't be seeing very many games on TV where you're at!!

I have been having my best sucess lately with rEspeed =1 and edif>=10. It gotten to the point that I only play races that have a Esp1 d10 in the race on fast dirt.

I only play exa and/or tri's. I pass any race with a first time starter and any where my edif horse in ML 20 or greater and going up in the odds. for confirmation I like to see it in top 2, 3 or 4 of the other major factors like pow pscan or htr, but this doen't stop me from playing it . If it's to highly rated in the other factors this usually means low exotic pay offs and if it is a short field I will pass the race or only do a small tri. Picking the other runners to put in the exoctics is part htr factors, part gut feel.

MikeD:

I'm Ken & I grew up in Uhrichsville, south of New Philadelphia about 10 miles. Moved to MT in '78. Cried when Colavito was traded & about threw my TV into the street when Hargrove took Mike Jackson out for Senor Smoke in the 9th of the 7th game vs. Florida. Still having nightmares about the Drive & the Fumble. Spent much of my impressionable youth @ Waterford Park (MNR) & Thistle.

Thanks to the internet follow Indians play-by-play most of the time.

Hey Ken sorry for referring to you as Cliff, all my internet friends look alike:)

My home town was Salem and the first track I ever went to was Waterford with my Dad. Quite a change now from Waterford to MNR. Now if only somehow we could get slots at the OH tracks.

It's a shame all of the Ohio tracks so close to Kentucky, but so few good horses here.

Mike:

Out here you get mule races & a $20 win bet guarantees your horse is the odds-on favorite.
Don't know how I ever survived w/o the internet.
