This past Saturday gave us a glimpse of greatness that has ed. The talk is starting to roll, and even the professionals are questioning the motives of Rachel Alexandra. Andy Beyer was quoted in the Washington Post as saying that “her glory days are over.” The Personal Ensign Stakes showed us that she will continue […]
Here it is, Tuesday already…..It will only be a few days until the long weekend, and there will be a cornucopia of action once again…..Until then, here are some fine runners to get your action on. River Downs – Tuesday Race #2 – #4 Regent’s Daughter (3-5) Perry Outzs, who is closing in the all-time […]
Monday is here, and you are either licking your wounds, or you are still celebrating the big win.. Either way, there is plenty of action and we have a few that need a good look…… River Downs – Monday Race #3- #5 Queens Tony (2-1) Sarvis and Cowans are 59% ITM…. 3/3 at RD, and […]
Just like on Halloween, they creep around corners, and jump out on you just when you’re not looking. They have them at the track, and every person that has been to the races at least a dozen times has one. You know, the clerk that gave you the wrong ticket, that drunk at the bar […]
For many folks, this is the holler down the bar right before the lights come on and we are exposed to the light of reality. But for racetrack fans, it has a whole different meaning. I have had the pleasure of seeing so many people come in and out of the doors over the years. From […]

Now, there won’t be any Rachel Alexandra in this selection sheet, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love her. The Personal Ensign is a big race, and is sandwiched in the middle of the Pick-4. I would take the chance, and see what turns up, but in the meantime, let’s get fat on some early […]
This year’s running of the 141st Travers Stakes at Saratoga has drawn a large and contentious field of 11 three-year-olds. Because Preakness and Haskell winner Lookin at Lucky is notably absent from this group, bettors have been left scratching their heads as to who should be the deserving favorite. This fact alone will make the […]
This Saturday at Saratoga will be the 141st running of the Travers Stakes, and best of all, it offers a $1 million guaranteed Pick-4. It will be an all-stakes, and you can bet it will take some heat. Race #9 – Victory Ride (G3) – 6 furlongs: I am going to work up a $72 […]
We did pretty well on Wednesday, but as predicted, they would not pay much. There was a huge Pick-6 carryover, and WinningPonies is always dialed to cash in. Saratoga – Thursday Race #2 – #1 Stargleam (4-1) Ramon Dominguez up for Chris Engelhardt (20%). 1/1 at The Spa, and comes fresh off a claim where […]
