You gotta love New York…. Every Saturday, you can count on having a guarantee for the final P-4. They always have some great races, and this week is no different. So, sit back and grab your pen, and let’s take this gimmick to the house. On Friday, there was a sealed off track and weather [...]

Woodbine has a stellar card slated to do battle today. That is the easy part. The challenging stage is finding our way across the sweeping turf and cashing tickets. Hopefully, this will stimulate some thought into a great day of racing. The weather is a beautiful 76 degrees with partly sunny skies in the forecast. [...]

I bet Animal Kingdom. Flat out, and no take backs…. I thought he fit, and his pedigree screamed run all day. But, when you run into a mishap into the turn. Well, you have to take it and move on. Right as the runners came past the grandstand, he almost went down. This gave me [...]

On March, 26th at Turfway Park. I caught the first glimpse of a horse with moves. I have seen many runners who were great, but only some have had that burst. The extra special thing you can’t train. Flat out… Animal Kingdom has some special mojo. That was his coming out party, and ever since [...]

Naaa… No illegal game, or a cards up your sleeve. I am just starting to put together a possible scenario for the Belmont, and how it will shake out from the gate. The real drawing begins on Wednesday, and we can start planning now as there is value to be had and a $1 million [...]

This Saturday, Pimlico holds the second jewel in the Triple Crown. Baltimore offers a chance for runners who skipped Louisville two weeks ago.

I have been a fan of racing for a few moons now… Well, maybe a little longer than that. I have known many riders over the years, and the highs and lows they have faced. Like every athlete, they could be playing for a championship team this season, and traded the next. Sadly, when they [...]

As spring was ushered in with the 15-day meeting at Keeneland racecourse, players from around the country counted each passing race, as they went by so quickly. It was wet this season, and the action in the bluegrass vanished into the cool Kentucky rain. I made it down to see the splendor. It was one of the rare sunny [...]

Do you remember when Keeneland had that fast, speed favoring, dirt course? If you got on the lead, the race was for place. But, with poly track being installed, many trainers look elsewhere to prep to get ready for the dirt. This is no dig in any way against Keeneland. It is the preferred method [...]

The Sunshine State will be rocking on Saturday, and my money will be laying in the sun. I think you will want to follow the action on this day, and WinningPonies will be dialed in to mine for the gold. Tampa Bay Downs – Saturday Race #5 – #5 Media Madness (5-2) Ramon Dominguez is [...]
