As 2023 arrived, it’s time to take stock of where we stand as horse players. It is a good practice to take your temperature before making your way to the windows. This is a good lesson to see what worked in the past and what we would like to see in the future. First, let’s […]
If you didn’t have the winner of the Derby or Preakness; you are not alone. Most horse racing fans are coming up empty in chat rooms, social media, and in person. – I wasn’t even close. – But don’t despair. In three weeks, we get another guessing contest. After Rich Strike won the Kentucky Derby […]
Everyone has a list, and it grows by the day. For me, I try and remember what I’d like to get rid of to be a better gambler, but it would make more sense to write them down to keep close at hand. Stop trying to win it all in one day. – I […]
As the ghosts and goblins fly away for another year the best weekend in racing is upon us. Let’s take a first look at the races on Friday and start making plans. We’re going to glance at runners before the post draw and who looks good and why. Be sure to download the Winning Ponies […]
Everyone loves a winner. Sometimes we have days that you can do nothing wrong, and others you couldn’t hit the side of a barn with a cow. – I know, we’ve all been there both ways. I’ve been using Winning Ponies since 2008, and overall my game has stepped up big time. How you been […]
Just a few days until we would have gathered around a large table with family and friends. I guess a Norman Rockwell painting would have done it justice, but this year may be a little different. 2020 will be the year to be grateful for what we have, and not what we are doing without. […]
Times have changed and so have we. – Things won’t ever be the same, and it’s up to us if it’s good or bad. – The time out for this horseplayer has me thinking differently. No more leaving money on the table and using every betting opportunity as a chance to build. Yeah, it’s fair […]
Long ago, I wrote a blog called “One Day Pro.” – It was about wagering on a track you never play, and may not like. Well, as long as it’s been since my first edition years ago. I’m calling out some goofballs who fall victim to this stupidity. And yours truly leads the pack. Pimlico […]
Trapped at home? – Not much to do? – Download your E-Z Win Forms and head to the track. Or, just put on your lucky cap and head over to the computer. – Yeah, it’s not the same, but it will be a day of action-packed Thoroughbred coming your way. And, just when you thought […]
I had done my daily routine and found myself getting ready for bed at 5pm. What? – I know, we’re all a little off track these days. – That was until I checked in on the tracks running. To my surprise, Fonner Park was running and it was like a bright light in the world […]
