I am just like you. I love to play the races. It doesn’t matter if it is cond $4,000 or the Breeders’ Cup. But, I have friend who likes to gamble, or as she thinks…. Somewhere, or sometime, a smart person has told her it is like a giant A.T.M. If you are needing cash, […]

I like some plays at The Spa on Wednesday, but the only thing is that they won’t light up the board alone. You are going to have to dig in, and find some value from the WinningPonies tier levels to make it a sweet pay day. Saratoga – Wednesday Race #1 – #1 Remark (9-5) […]

Every track has them once in a while. This is where a player bets a HUGE amount of dough on a very big favorite. The ones that go off 1-9, and have to pay a minimum of $2.10 to show….. If you can get a nickle on a dollar from the bank, you better go […]

Tuesday can be a good day to seek out that small track, and find a little piece of value. I began playing smaller tracks on Tuesday years ago, and it’s their day to shine. I would look for some value and action packed racing on this day. River Downs / Thistledown Race #1 – #2 […]

Lately I have heard a few tracks have lost, and cut their purses for their signature races. People look all year long for the ovals to put on the big show, and what do they get?  Nuts….. Just because the times have dictated that we drop back and punt as far purses, it doesn’t mean […]

The area about 160 miles north of New York City began attracting wealthy pilgrims because of carbonated mineral springs.

It seems like yesterday I was so on fire that they couldn’t put me out with the ocean…… But that was last week… I don’t know which wagering god I have angered, but I am truly sorry…. Some call it snake-bit, others call it a cold streak, and for me it is like living in […]
