Watch: How to play Assiniboia Downs closing-day multis

Although DeRosa and Elbadwi agreed in their analysis of the later stages of the sequence, they divergede early in their selections. They also discuss ticket construction and strategy when approaching a 20-cent minimum in comparison to multi-race sequences that feature a 50-cent or $1 base.

Using the Horse Racing Nation Track Trends Tool, they analyzed the best posts and early positions for horses to win from. Assiniboia Downs offers only dirt racing, and the races contested are mainly sprints. Horses breaking from outside posts have been at more of a disadvantage this meet than those with inside position. 

Power Picks are available for horseplayers interested in tackling tomorrow's mandatory payout puzzle, as are all of the Horse Racing Nation Pro Reports. For more video handicapping content, subscribe to our YouTube channel.
