Friday is Pick-4 day at Keeneland. It has a guarantee, and it covers the best race of the day. What more could you ask for? How about some free selections to compare against all of the tier levels. Race #7 #3 Zermatt (4-1) – Johnny Velasquez in the saddle for Pletcher. If this sounds good, […]
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 […]

Every person, no matter what age or place in the world, will walk the same path. We will be born into the world crying, and leave others doing the same. Racing has always shown me the best of the world, and the finest people. But, as my good friend once told me, we will all […]
Do you know that chili is made about a million ways? It is full of many spices and magic, and I equate it to racing and what fans think will bring the game back to prosperity. I have few ideas, and only after reading everything out there, and trying everyone’s recipe, I have one of […]
The synthetic revolution will be televised, and that is only if you have access to Woodbine. The track is a good value place, and the riders and barns are second to none. Race #8 (The Ontario Derby) – #7 Stately Victor (2-1) Victor Lebron in the saddle, and Mike Maker (22%) brings him to the paddock. […]
Philadelphia Park changed the signage and program cover one night, and they will never be the same again. But, a track by any other name is still Philly Park in this case. The Parx name is the casino that is located in the parking area. It doesn’t matter what you call it, but one thing is for […]
