Canterbury Park Handicapping Helper for August 11

Unfortunately the Twin Cities area was soaked by heavy rain last night, meaning Canterbury Park is off the turf tonight. Ten races are on the card tonight, with the first two being Quarter Horse races.  Pick 4s are available starting in races three and seven, and the pick 5 beginning in race six.  We are happy to welcome aboard Canterbury's Racing Operations Coordinator Brian Kohn, who will providing selections for the rest of the meet, starting tonight.

Don't forget, we also have a free guide to Canterbury, courtesy of Equinometry, with historical stats, racing styles, and other thoughts that should help you if you don't have experience playing there.  We'd like to thank Lenny Moon for putting the guide together.
