I attended the 16th Breeders Cup back in 1999 and didn’t do too badly handicapping the eight races on the Nov. 6 card while wagering on several contests. I had a couple of winners and three runners-up in races that appeared in my self-syndicated racing column published by several small daily newspapers in South Florida. […]

I just read an article by H.A.N.A…. They are a group of highly intelligent players who bring some innovative ideas, and vocalize the needs of the player. But, this time I am disagreeing with the latest blog. For the uncashed tickets in Kentucky, the total of $2.3 million in cash goes to the backstretch workers. […]

Zenyatta improved to a perfect 19/19. This is only news if you are new to the game, or you missed one of the most exciting times in racing. She targets the Breeders’ Cup Classic, and this time I really zoomed in on her motions. The record chasing got the best of me, and when she […]

Every Friday, TVG will sponsor the Pick-4 for a sweet $200,000. There are many tracks to play, but for 17 days, this is the only track in my mind. Here is a Pick-4 to examine, and put into action on Friday afternoon. Race #7 #7 – Paracaidas (2-1) Gomez and Pletcher here, and 2-1 may […]

I have been itching to get back in the swing of things. New York racing can be the tonic for anything that leaves a horseplayer wanting more. I love this meet, and you have plenty of trainers who focus on this time of year. Here are a few selections you will want to examine with the tier […]
