Monte Carlo Results at Oaklawn February 22-25, 2018

The sixth week of racing at Oaklawn Park brought a positive change of fortune. The OakPick Monte Carlo software ended the weekend +37.20 for 33 races (three top picks scratched). I was just about ready to scrap the whole thing and start over after the first five weeks of this season, but the program may just be catching its stride. In any case, here are the weekend's results.

We are approximately half way through the 2018 racing season at Oaklawn Park. The OakPick software is starting to come to life on Win Bets on the top pick. The win rate was 18.2% this weekend compared to the 6.2% for the first 5 weekends. The expectation is that the program should pick between 12 - 15% through the entire season. The picks for Thursday's racing will come out late tomorrow night.
