Free Selections – Saturday 4/7/19 – Winning Ponies

This will be the last of the “biggie” weekends before the Derby. Hard to believe we are just weeks away and the roses will be in full bloom. Weather may play a factor in some regions of the nation but don’t let that dampen your enthusiasm for the marquee events.  Who knows, it may come up wet, […]

Derby Trail – 4/10/17

The picture of the Derby trail looks like the black and white TV we had in our room. But at least we could see the action if my brother held the antenna on one leg facing west. – To say the run to Louisville is murky would be a nice way of saying you can […]

Road to the Derby – 3/4/17

As the preps come and go, Derby dreams fade in and out like an old TV. You remember ? The TV your grandpa used to watch baseball games. Sometimes it came in as clear as day, and other times it took a while before you see what’s happening. That’s the thought rolling through my head […]

Free Selections / Keeneland / Blue Grass Card

It was 1982, and I was sitting in our living room. There was no live TV coverage, and simulcast was about 15-years away. Everyday that Keeneland ran, you could catch the feature race on radio. The late-great Caywood Ledford was painting the picture of horses loading into the gates, and I could feel the hair […]

Each year, we have those cappers that look back in the rear view mirror, and remember who won what prep. This is good research, but there can be many ways to enter the winner’s circle on that first Saturday in May. Remember when the great Charismatic danced home? Under the guided hand of Chris Antley, […]
