Canterbury Park Handicapping Helper for August 18th

Nine races are on the card tonight at Canterbury, with only the first race being for Quarter Horses.  There is some rain in the area, so if you're playing, you'll want check track conditions and to see if they are staying on the turf.  Pick 4s are available starting in races two and six, and the pick 5 also begins in race six.  The first four races will be covered by TVG2, with the rest of the card then switching over to TVG.

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.
