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. They come into the 1 3/16ths race fresh, and on a solid work program to ready. But, as good as this sounds, it may be a better plan to select the colts that have competed [...]
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.

Saturday is the Sunshine Millions, but Friday offers out some unique opportunities for making some money. I would take a good look at these, and see if you can use the other predictions to make some bankroll for the big weekend. Gulfstream Park – Friday Race #2 – #2 Indian Wife (8-5) Luis Saez in [...]
The racing is beginning to heat up in Florida, and you want to check in each and every time that you have the chance. I guarantee that you will hear from at least a runner or two from this oval that will be taken seriously for the road to the Derby. But, there is still plenty [...]
You read it right! Let’s start in Florida, and enjoy the sunshine of Gulfstream and then we will shift our tack out to the left coast for Santa Anita. I like solid weather, and even if it rains, it beats the snow and blustery winds of the mid-west. Saturday Gulfstream Park Race #7 – The [...]
Saturday is here! There is always a cornucopia of action to be had, and you better make hay before the weather turns nasty later on this weekend for many areas. Aqueduct Race #1 – #3 Missile Motor (5-1) Fresh off a claim, and the barn is 33% ITM on this move. 7/13 ITM on the [...]
