Mahoning Valley picks FAQ
Are these Mahoning Valley picks free?
Yes. Every Mahoning Valley card gets a free top pick for every race, a value play with the minimum odds worth taking, and the Best Bet of the day. Trackside Edge members also get the top three in every race with win estimates, pace notes, confidence ratings and multi-race tickets.
When are Mahoning Valley picks posted?
Our Mahoning Valley picks go up before the card, once entries are out, usually a day or more ahead. This page always shows the current or next Mahoning Valley card, and every past card stays in the archive below.
How are the Mahoning Valley picks made?
Every horse is rated by the TracksideProfits handicapping model: speed figures, current form and the likely pace first, then trainer and jockey, distance and surface fit and pedigree, then class, layoffs and workouts.
What does "Bet at 6-1 or higher" mean on a value play?
It is the lowest price at which the value play is worth a bet based on our win estimate. If the horse is shorter than that at post time, the value is gone.
What if one of the picks scratches?
Move to the next pick in that race. Picks are made before scratches and late changes, so always check the final field before you bet.
