The cold winter months can be a drain on a horseplayer looking for some good mid-week action.  While it’s still freezing in most of the country the weather is sunny and the turf is in great shape down at Gulfstream Park in Sunny South Florida. Get off to a great start to your betting week [...]

If you ask professional or serious horseplayers their opinions on show betting, most will tell you to not waste too much time with this type of bet.  As the easiest bet to hit on the wagering menu, payouts are low.  Even if you are an excellent handicapper, it is hard to make money betting on [...]

Nothing like a little sparkle to light up the action. It should be hot and muggy in most places, and Mother Nature can toss in some showers just to make things interesting. You will want to stay close to your change of track condition selector, and PRESTO -  a new set of EZ-Win forms to [...]
