Canterbury Park Handicapping Helper for August 25 - Pick 5 Carryover

Eight races are on the docket tonight at Canterbury Park, and for the first Thursday this meet, all of them are Thoroughbred races.  Conditions this morning were listed as fast and good, so there's finally been a break with the weather as well.  The featured wager on tonight's program is the pick 5, which begins in race four with a $2,227 carryover.  There are also two pick 4s, one commencing in the opener and another one starting in race five.

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.
