There is nothing like having three outta’ four in the p-4. It feels like you have just had your foot run over by a donut truck. But as luck would have it, there are some good races this Saturday, and a $250,000 TVG Pick-Four on the menu. I have picked myself up, and dusted myself off. […]
We have been living for the weekend, and now it is time to enjoy. The best races are always found, and the weekend warrior in all of us comes alive. So, get your hands on your E-Z Win Forms and let’s get busy. This is “leave no money on the table” weekend. Aqueduct Race #8 […]
I had a few moments and I began to replay the last few weeks leading up to the Breeders’ Cup. Our place parlay yielded a small profit, and we had a great time betting the weekend. For the group, it was a winner. But for me, I was left scratching my head and asking what […]
The Breeders’ Cup Day of Champions has finally arrived. There are many racing days that are geared for fans of all walks. The Breeders’ Cup is no exception, but this weekend is especially dedicated to the players. This is where the world gathers, and the best Thoroughbreds attempt to etch their name into the history […]

Another year, and the history books of racing have been put away. I’ll Have Another held up better than anyone expected.

In an interview, trainer Doug O’Neil cited tendonitis in his front left leg that was severe enough to keep him from running for history. O’Neil also shared that they […]
The weather should be perfect, the seats filled to capacity, and all that is left to do is break from the gate at 6:40 p.m. ET. I’ll Have Another is a 1 1/2 miles away from immortality. Union Rags has had some well deserved time off since the Derby, and Dullahan is working like a […]
I have to say that I’ll Have Another has been interesting. Doug O’Neill has captivated me with his lingo, and Mario Gutierrez has been an inspiration for every small track rider around the world. Now, toss in Mr. Reddam who was asked if he made more money on the purse, or did he do better […]
