It's here, welcome to Hambo Day.
It's 16 races; trots, paces, mixed distances, short fields, big fields. And some are very interesting.
As most know, heavy doses of chalk can and do happen on days like this often in harness. And make no mistake, there are some very good looking favorites. But this card feels a little different to me. I think some of these chalk - even of the heavy variety - have a chance to go down. I always like watching Hambo Day - from start to finish. But this one really intrigues me from a betting perspective.
Anyhoo, some links:
Thoughts on why Hambo Day is a great day, a column.
Free program link.
Free video link in HD.
Selections from VFTG.
Selections and thoughts at Betfair; including trading horses like Southwind Frank.
Selections from those "expert" folks. I suck at being an expert, but there you go.
Hashtag is #Hambo16 for you people who twitter, like Donald Trump; or someone who works for him, if they recently took his password away.
Have a great day everyone.
