The past few Tuesdays have been good to us. I have begun to enjoy the Ohio plays, and they have paid off well in exotics. So, let’s keep the ball rolling and get in the game. River Downs Race #4 – #3 Clearly Roca (8-1). A Vierra in the irons for Paul Megason. 4/5 ITM […]
A sunny day on Sunday at Keeneland is the greatest place to be. On this day, it was beautiful. Heaven had descended on Lexington for the afternoon. It was military day, and the “Grade One Gamble” contest. I was in a room which they had built in 1984 for Queen Elizabeth. It held around 50 […]
That is not the title of a movie that my son would be watching. It is a way of wagering that has turned more weekend warriors and second guessers into regulars, who get to come to the track with the wife’s blessing. You have heard me tell tales of parlays and multi-race wagers. This is […]
I had the information for Keeneland’s card since Friday. I have begun my typical regiment of handicapping, and will continue into the night. I like to be prepared. The last thing I will do before I make final decisions, is to pull down the card from WinningPonies. It has served me well, and for those […]
Horses are waiting in the wings for D-Day — April 28. That’s when the post-position draw for the 136th Derby is scheduled. However, No. 21 on the graded stakes earnings list will be waiting on the sidelines. Uh Oh Bango, fourth in the Arkansas Derby, came out of the race with a fractured left-front cannon […]
I like Wednesday… It is only a couple of days until the weekend, and more so, it is a countdown to the Derby. So, let’s build a bankroll as these players come with a price…. Keeneland Race #1 – #5 Pralltown (4-1). Alan Garcia is in the saddle, and Kiaran McLaughlin is the conditioner. They […]
There I was… I was outside today enjoying a fine cigar. OK, it was average at best… But, the sun was shining, and I was reading some racing magazines, catching some rays. Then comes my old pal, “The Mouth.” His real name is Frank, but everyone calls him The Mouth. He started in on me […]
It is Tuesday, and that only means one thing. It is time to cap some Beulah. We have a had a bit of success, and hopefully it will continue, as we are on a quest to increase our bankroll. Beulah Race #1 – #2 Friends N Secret (5-2). Yuri Yuranga for Joe Woodard, and the […]
Well, don’t be… If you watched the two big races on Saturday, you saw what it takes. The best come to ply their trade, and come to show you how great they can be. Well, it happened again. It does each year, and the game doesn’t let you up. You have to battle through and […]
Each and every week since New Year’s has been better and better as time has flown by… This weekend should be no different, but there may be a couple of surprises that wait for us at the windows. Keeneland Race #9 – The Toyota Bluegrass Stakes 1 1/8th Miles #9 – Interactif (4-1) Rafael Bejarano […]
