The summer leaves are turning the golden hue of autumn, and the winds of summer are drifting away to usher in the chilling feel of the Halloween season. Tracks have always been a fun place to enjoy seasonal festivities. Here are a few things I have had the pleasure of watching over the years. The Headless Horseman Churchill Downs has the Oaks, […]
The big weekend is just days away. We looked forward to this day about an hour after last year concluded, and it has the feel of an event that will not disappoint. I am a planner by nature and can be a bit of a worry-wart. Here is what you can expect as far as […]
Being around racing has been some of the best time I could have ever spent. My years as a horse owner were as eye opening as a blast of Arctic air. But I digress… I was reading a story that was posted in Equidaily about a trainer who had run into a problem with his medical […]
I was reading my nightly racing favorites, and took a peak at the Breeders’ Cup site. I was expecting the “ho-hum” usual coverage with the “more to come” soon message. But, I may have underestimated what they have are doing. I think they are on the right track. It sure hit this player between the eyes, and I am […]

Do you going to the races? Papaw or Uncle Don would pick up a DRF the day before, and they would be studying at the kitchen table most of the night. You would check the weather, get up early, and off you would go! It was the whole process of talking about our plans, getting ready, and […]
Last week was a great payoff for the Breeders’ Cup bankroll. I started the three week run with $600, and I have it up to $1,825 thanks to an E-Z Win Form pick four. But, as luck would have it, I still have $200 to play for my final weekend to extend my bankroll. I am using […]
