Oaklawn Park

Oaklawn is a great track to wager on because it offers the biggest fields of any track on a consistent basis. They have no turf course or a synthetic surface; every race is run over dirt and at many different class levels. Horses ship in from all over the country, which makes these races interesting but sometimes inscrutable handicapping puzzles. If you are patient and watch these races closely for a couple of months, there are scores you can make once you get a feel for where these shippers fit and who can or cannot handle the surface. Understanding trainer intention, trips and horses who have been aided or hurt by a track bias proves profitable.
