If it sounds like a pitch from Better Call Saul, relax it’s not. – No fast gimmicks, magic mojo or secret handshake required. This is about you and what you’re doing when making a bet. Some feel they have it all together, and right about now you can stop reading. There’s no pitch, just a […]
The game has changed, but then again it hasn’t moved a muscle. Once upon a time, there were nine races and few exotic wagers. If you missed the daily double, you might as well stay home.

Once upon a time, I wrote a blog called “One Day Pro.” To put it in a nutshell, if you are thinking about hammering a track you normally don’t follow.

Saturday afternoon ushers in the second jewel in the Triple Crown. The Woodlawn Vase, the painting of the weather vane, and hearing the sounds of “Maryland, My Maryland” ring sweet to this punter’s ears. This race brings hope.

The weather calls for the mid-80’s, and a fast track is expected at “Old Hilltop” as they contest […]
I have been talking the talk as many punters for years. I couldn’t wait to wager on the middle jewel in racing. But, there is only one thing: I really do not focus much on the Maryland product, and one day a year I shed my fears and jump headlong into the races. Nothing against […]
It is time to start taking inventory. No, not on how many boxes you have or why you didn’t do your work project. One where you take a look at your methods, and find your madness. I get a lot out of talking with folks and knowing what makes them tick. It is like handicapping […]
The Derby is in the books, but the beat goes on…. We are a week away from the Preakness, and there is no better time than now to build your bankroll. Churchill Downs – 5/14/11 Race #2 – #2) Black Rhino – (2-1) Son of El Corredor does pretty darn well with first timers. This […]
