Since the first Saturday in May, even the slightest of fans became interested. It lived up to incredible billing, and did not disappoint those who cashed at the windows. The Triple Crown is officially over. So, what to look forward to next? – Great summer racing, turf racing, and some of the biggest pots until […]
On March, 26th at Turfway Park. I caught the first glimpse of a horse with moves. I have seen many runners who were great, but only some have had that burst. The extra special thing you can’t train. Flat out… Animal Kingdom has some special mojo. That was his coming out party, and ever since […]
Naaa… No illegal game, or a cards up your sleeve. I am just starting to put together a possible scenario for the Belmont, and how it will shake out from the gate. The real drawing begins on Wednesday, and we can start planning now as there is value to be had and a $1 million […]
If you have ever tuned in to our Internet radio show, we always try and make racing as informative mixed with a good dash of fun. We have special guests and talk about how we are doing with our “EZ-Win” forms. A good pal brought something t0 my attention the other day. Long ago, we had […]

Do you remember when Keeneland had that fast, speed favoring, dirt course? If you got on the lead, the race was for place. But, with poly track being installed, many trainers look elsewhere to prep to get ready for the dirt. This is no dig in any way against Keeneland. It is the preferred method […]
The synthetic revolution arrived in the middle of the night, and before our eyes, has transformed racing. Well, maybe not so dramatic, but you get the picture. For all of the good stuff that synthetic ovals have provided for racing, the issue of determining a runner’s ability to compete on the greatest stage, can be […]
I have been looking at some plays that really attract my interest, and more importantly my wallet. Sometimes it is better to select a few races and make a couple of prudent wagers. It sounds like parlay time, and what better time than now. I would suggest picking two – three tracks, and no more. I […]
The Sunshine State will be rocking on Saturday, and my money will be laying in the sun. I think you will want to follow the action on this day, and WinningPonies will be dialed in to mine for the gold. Tampa Bay Downs – Saturday Race #5 – #5 Media Madness (5-2) Ramon Dominguez is […]
