As we gather and give thanks for the sacrifices of so many that we may enjoy our freedom; reflect on those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. This is a day to gather and celebrate together. So, let’s kick off the day with […]
There’s a great card on tap in Hallandale, Florida. – It’s going to be 76 degrees and mostly sunny. What more could a horseplayer ask for? – Well, here’s a little something extra for all who’ll be watching and wagering. I’m going to put together a pick-four ticket from a small place parlay that rounded […]
Just a few days into the New Year and the H.H. is off and running! – So far 2020 has been good to me. I took some time off after Breeders’ Cup and did a little “refresh” for my handicapping. Oh, I made some wagers, but a little less than normal. – Sometimes less is […]
The weather is getting cooler and the action is beginning to heat up. – Who said there is no such thing as a free lunch? – Just check back on Winning Ponies and whet your inner-handicapping appetite for some winners to build your bankroll! – Best of luck from Winning Ponies! Gulfstream Park […]

The 66th version of the Florida Derby takes place this Saturday and Mother Nature is going to cooperate in fine fashion with sunny weather and temperatures in the lower 80’s. – What more could you ask for except some free selections and pick-four with a guaranteed pool of $750,000. Looks like a solid race card […]
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 […]
