There wasn’t a down time or lack of interest. The horses were hot and the marquee tracks ruled the roost. If you’ve been following our place parlay action focused on Saratoga, you would’ve seen some big plays and close calls. But, at the end of the day it wasn’t the wagering that took center stage for […]
The target has been identified, and the command has been given. Well, maybe not that dramatic. Three guys started off a mild mannered place parlay, and it stands at $1750. – We are using the Winning Ponies E-Z Forms, and we’re ready to fire. Finally, we all come into agreement and the Saratoga card will […]
It has been 50 days into the Belterra Park meet, and there is definitely some angles to take advantage of before heading to the windows. What was once the beautiful River Downs has now shape-shifted and rebuilt in the image of a glitzy casino and new race track. The track is smaller than most, but […]
It’s good to look back and see what you’ve accomplished, need to work on, and the incredible things you see along the journey. In seven days there were some eye-opening, good fortune, and emotional experiences. We are lucky each and every morning when our feet hit the floor. At the end of each week, I like […]

There is a chip that was embedded into every horse player’s noggin when they were a child. We were told they were giving us a booster, but it turned out to be an aggressive tendency to enjoy the races, and seek the gold wherever it came from. Steve is a longtime user of the Winning […]
It was Saturday afternoon and a bevy of the best racing was taking place in the country. Surrounding all of the simulcast TV’s were the marquee college football games. Toss in a few cold ones, and dozen or so wings, and you have entered heaven for many gamblers. This being the case, I was in the […]
I was sitting with a banker pal of mine at the races. He was on a cold streak that makes Siberia look like the beach. He was crying and groaning about trying to build a man-size bankroll for the Belmont. Well, I can’t claim it is fool proof, but when I left he was rolling like a […]
I can feel the winds of winter rolling around the mountain. The days of big races have fallen by the wayside. We ran the races, and tallied the score. It is about this time of the year, that I begin playing two circuits. I start looking forward to Florida and the promise of the dream […]
