For the big days in racing we get caught up in the big events. But, the real value may be found in the undercard races. I like to use Pick-3’s and Pick-4’s on the big days. If you use the tier levels to find value, the guaranteed pools may be worth the wager. You may […]

As horseplayers, we leave plenty of money on the table. If you take a look at some of the powerhouse numbers on the tier levels, you will see some plays that may need a play outside of your gimmicks. Think about it….. You make a handful of incredible Daily Double tickets. How many times have […]

I hate to see a player make so many plays that they couldn’t even tell you the number of horses they played. I call it tap dancing, and watching players bet more than the law allows is criminal, or at least silly….. I have a friend that goes out once a week. He is a […]

I came back after a hot day at the track. Not at the windows, but it has been steamy across my neck of the woods. I know I am not the only cry-baby out there facing the heat, but it does take its toll. If you don’t see me eat lunch, it is hot…. So, […]
