Derby Lane on Friday Night: Special Edition Dog Blog

I've been blogging regularly about handicapping the Featured Tracks that we highlight each day at the top right side of our page. But there are plenty of other tracks with dozens of races available to simulcast players, or folks with Internet accounts. So I thought I would start handicapping a few of the premier races each day at various other tracks. While we're not giving away free Stat Attack, Stat Force, or Tip Sheets for these cards, I figure you might still be interested in some handicapping comments.

Gunning for the Greyhounds at Gulf in Texas

Gulf Greyhound Park in Texas has a very interesting post position bias. It varies tremendously from grade to grade. For example, on today's Stat Force, you'll see that in Maiden races the #1 dogs wins a big 18.27% of the time. But just one grade up, in grade J, the #1 box is winning only 13.28% of races. That's a huge difference. The Maiden rail dog wins 37.5% more races than the grade J rail dog! Then in grade A, that #1 dog goes on to win 22.15% of races! And pity the dog stuck in the #6 box in grade A. That runner can only muster 8.84% wins. Nearly one third the number from the inside box. Keep these things in mind when you're playing those Texas runners!

Let's take a squint at the Friday evening card at Gulf Greyhound Park...

How Much Does that Trifecta Part Wheel Cost?

Trifecta part wheels are a great way to precisely target your wagers for dog racing. The cost of some trifecta part wheels are difficult to compute in your head. For example, how much does a trifecta part wheel 23 with 345 with 12678 cost? Answer is $17. How about a superfecta part wheel 1234 with 12345 with 4567 with 45678? Answer is $181.

To find the costs of these bets quickly, I used our new trifecta and superfecta part wheel bet calculator for Premium Members. To see the calculator, go to the Premium Member Content selection on the main menu at the top of the web page. Click on Trifecta Cost Calculator or Superfecta Cost Calculator. (If you are not a Premium Member already, please login, go to our Catalog, and subscribe today.)

Here is how the Trifecta Cost Calculator looks:

Welcome, Greyhound Racing Fans

If you are anything like me, you're starving! For years now, there has been little if anything to read about our favorite sport, greyhound racing. The well-read handicapper had it made in the 70's, 80's and early 90's with a good number of books, magazines and other handicapping materials. But since then, the pickin's have been mighty slim, indeed!

With the introduction of our redesigned Web site, we've added a "Premium Membership" which will enable
