Just when you didn’t think the biggest weekend could get any hotter, along come the ladies to “throw down.” If you’ve been living under a rock, or just hard at work when the announcement that Princess of Sylmar was going to run in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. I had this image of a duel at […]
Last week I tried my hand at a place parlay. The wager felt good, and sounded even better. But the dreaded one in and one out sent me packing for round two. I am in my second weekend, and I’m stretching out to nail the pick-four at Belmont this Saturday. Last week I couldn’t get […]
This weekend should rank right behind the Breeders’ Cup for gamblers. If this card does not interest you, the doctor is prescribing ten trips to your local track, and open your ADW account stat! Some of the biggest stars in the game will be in New York this Saturday, and the rest will wait for the […]
The numbers have been crunched, the winners crowned, and the dust has settled. But far be it from over. Racing still has plenty to offer for handicappers. Yep, the big weekend has come and gone but the heart of the game is still beating. Long before I saw my first Breeders’ Cup I can remember […]
Is it really 2012?? I can remember sitting in my dad’s living room watching the first Breeders’ Cup in 1984. There was no simulcast wagering in our area, and the ADW explosion had yet to detonate. We were wagering with our local bookmaker, and watching history unfold before our very eyes. This day is all […]

There are 10 horses or fewer in seven of the 15 races, […]
Only five of the 15 Breeders’ Cup races scheduled at Santa Anita Park on Nov. 2-3 were oversubscribed from a total of 180 pre-entries. The five races with also eligibles waiting to get in their selective contest are the $500,000 Marathon, $1 million Juvenile Fillies Turf, $1 million Juvenile Turf, $1 million Turf Sprint, and $1.5 million […]
Repeat winners are few and far between in Breeders’ Cup races. There have been only 10 repeat winners in the same race during the past 28 world championships. Goldikova attempted to become the first horse in history to win four consecutive BC Mile races, but finished third last year. Most of the repeat scores […]
This weekend should be a glimpse for the some of the runners heading to the Breeders’ Cup. A chance of rain is in the forecast for Thursday and Friday, and a 70% chance for Saturday. But don’t let this dampen your spirits as Winning Ponies will make adjustments for the weather. Your E-Z Win Forms […]
This weekend many eyes will be on Florida. There will be some questions that get answered one way or the other, and horseplayers will have a better glimpse of who goes on and who falls behind a bit. But, in the meantime we can buckle down and take our shot this weekend. Gulfstream Park […]
