Removing The Clutter

I was reading a great article about “Money” in the ESPN article. It spoke about some great angles, but may have overlooked the “eliminator” for handicapping. Every player cannot go to the track daily, and does not have the time to go back and watch every race. This is where CERTAIN types of data prove […]

Churchill Downs is home of the Derby. It has lights, and is doing some very cool things. But, it also has regular days at the races. They won’t write about a day at the races on a Thursday afternoon. But, we will take advantage of some great plays and build our bankroll. I like average days […]

Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!  – Only a few more days and the weekend will be here. It has been hot throughout most of the nation, and so will the racing action….. Belmont Race #6 – #6 Al Muhtasib (5-1). Ramon Dominguez for Kiaran McLaughlin, and they roll at 21% and 53% ITM on the weeds. Makes a dirt […]

Churchill took a trip in the time machine. They went back to the 70’s, and what a trip it was…..I wish I could have been there, and I think my wardrobe would probably still fit in. The only problem, could I fit into my duds? CD is cool. They have lights and parties, and have changed […]

OK, I understand that practically every track in the nation wants the Breeders’ Cup. Or, that is how it seems. I know that was a silly comment, but you get the picture… Let me ask you one question…. If you had a survey with 2000 trainers that have a two-year-old baby just getting ready to […]

Churchill Downs used to be the “old boys club” that was packed with old money and didn’t care about the problems of the sport. The canned answer was that they were “The Home of the Kentucky Derby. The Home of the Twin Spires.” Until now…. Churchill has gotten into the groove. If you read, they […]

The Kentucky Racing Commission used to have their panties in a bunch about advertising. This is where an entity could put their name on the side of the pant legs of a rider. They would be a 98 lb moving billboard. I like the idea, but this could have been done long ago with a few […]

I have met about any and every type of player on the map. It is rare to meet the interesting folks that are the backbone of the game. I consider myself lucky, and have a gent that I talk to at the track all the time. He has been a blue-collar player. You wouldn’t have seen […]
