I was at the Bengals / Bears debacle today. It was lucky for Cincinnati that Chicago did not come to play. They blew them out 45-10… That was nothing compared to the gent sitting next to me in his Chicago jersey, and binoculars in hand… Tommy had to be in his 70’s. He introduced himself as […]
On Breeders’ Cup Day, there will be a HUGE handicapping contest at Santa Anita. It cost $10,000 to enter, and that is a little steep. The contest is $2,500 to the pot, and $7,500 goes towards a live bankroll. They have quite a few money people across the pond who ponied up to be there. […]
In any sport we miss the great ones when they leave. It is one thing to be very good at your craft, but add in being a stand-up person who exudes class, and you have a person who leaves a hole in the game…. Larry Jones was on TVG Saturday right before the Raven Run… […]
This Sunday is another perfect weekend on tap…. The only thing that could make it better, is that it will be held in Lexington, Kentucky at Keeneland. You better hurry, there are only days left in the meet… We like a couple of runners for Sunday, and the weather should shake out nicely. So, take […]
In Kentucky, the Republican Senators are trying to flex their muscle and show the country they can fix the racing industry. This was never a move to fix anything except to get reelected.

I can still see Goldikova rolling down the lane. Freddie Head’s filly ran bigger than life…. I know, time cures all. If you did not cash, then your memory can grow short. All of which can be a good thing. The historical bias says that closers, stalkers, and “Silky Sullivan” types do well in here. […]
This race has always been good to me…. I sure hope I have not angered the wagering gods with that last statement, as they have no sense of humor when man thinks he does well on a race or surface…Hence, poly-track was created….. And it took more than seven days. We are returning to Santa […]
I am starting to break down as much as I can. This allows for me to do final capping at the end, and run them against the tier levels for price plays. The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies should be an interesting race to handicap. Here are some thoughts to process before you begin to sort […]
You finally made it to the B/C, and you have to make a choice to ride your pony in the million dollar bonanza. What to do, what to do… There are so many to go with, and here are some thoughts from the Breeders’ Cup site. Here are some insights into riders others chose: Kent […]
