The TwinSpires Players’ Pool will be going after the guaranteed Pick 4 and Pick 5 pools and other spot plays on a special Hambletonian Day wagering menu at The Meadowlands Racetrack on Saturday, August 3.
Top harness handicapper and TwinSpires blog contributor Frank Cotolo will be putting his wagering strategies, live from The Meadowlands, to work for you by taking the lead in a $10,000 (maximum) Players’ Pool. Frank will be throwing in $250 of his own cash to jump start the pool.
The Players’ Pool is offered on a first come first served basis so don’t get shut out and jump in early!
The Players’ Pool is designated to be educational and fun and in no way guarantees a winning wager.
Hambletonian Players’ Pool Wrap Up
The Players’ Pool wagered $10,090 into the Hambletonian Racecard on Saturday, August 3rd and the gross return was $17,647. Contributors received $17.62 for each $10 wagered. We thank everyone who contributed and profited from our efforts.
It was a great Hambletonian day program at the Meadowlands, where horses raced in front of the doomed grandstand (next year the track literally turns around with a new grandstand and finish line on the opposite side). We handicapped the same way we have done for years, which TwinSpires blog readers have been using as tools to wager for some time now.
Every Friday morning harness bettors can read our choices and suggested contenders at the TwinSpires blog. And on Monday mornings readers can review how we have done and read insider news and information on industry items that affect harness bettors. We are dedicated, as we have been for years as harness players and industry insiders ourselves, to share our knowledge, experience and intuition with TwinSpires bettors.
Thanks again for playing on TwinSpires, and we look forward to doing more pools in the future!
