Brick and mortar contests have gone the way of the dinosaur, unless you are playing a $3,000 cash money contest where the track makes good handle. Turfway Park has tried to kick off some of these again and it looks like a winner. Players love to play and the bettors at home love the ability to take a good shot at the prize.

I love the contest play, and the opportunity to take a shot at the big prize. – Working in racing does not allow me to take part, but I will surely inform all of my buddies who enjoy the action. They love seeing players from all parts gather at Turfway Park and do friendly battle to see who the best capper is for the card.

When you’re watching the best signal at night, take a look at some of the feeder contests, and ones that offer a shot at the big prize. – I’m happy to see the fans have access to this one-of-a-kind fun. – I back in the day playing large contests and bettors would fly, drive, or come a few days early to get a feel for the track and how it plays. – Best of luck from your friends at Winning Ponies!
