Grade 1’s out West and at Belmont this week, October 2, 2021.
We’ve got races from Belmont and Santa Anita this weekend, including 4 Breeders Cup qualifiers. Some small fields this week might make you believe this will be an easy pick 6, but there are lots of good horses to pick from, and I think this will be a far from easy week. Last week saw…

Belmont, Delaware Stakes, and a Return to Woodbine, July 10 2021
We’ve got some more graded stakes races from Belmont and Delaware on the schedule this weekend, and a return to Woodbine! I haven’t scheduled a Woodbine race in a while, so it will be interesting to see how the horses do on the poly surface. A tight schedule for this weekend, with the first race…

Stakes Racing Weekend, June 12 2021
Not a lot of stakes races after the big Belmont Stakes weekend, but I was still able to find 6 for us to pick from. Let’s have a look. Race 1: Salvator Mile Stakes (G3) NY Traffic – Seems to be a class above the rest of the field. High percentage jockey/trainer, fast speed, last…

Belmont Stakes Day, Friday June 5 2021
There’s so many stakes races today on the Belmont card it was hard to pick just 6 for the challenge. It’s going to be a very busy day on Long Island with the Belmont Stakes today and then the Bruins vs Islanders playoff series right afterwards. Add in the miserable cold Memorial Day weekend and…

Memorial Day Stakes Races, May 29 2021
A light slate of races again this week, had to toss out the Charles Whittingham Stakes as it only had 4 entries and I was looking for a larger field. We’ve got races from Belmont, Churchill Downs, and Santa Anita up for this weekend. Race 1: Shawnee Stakes Envoutante – Looks to be the class…

Graded Stakes at Belmont Park, May 8th 2021
Just before the start of the Kentucky Derby I said “I should probably put a win bet on Johnny Velazquez on Medina Spirit, he has a chance at messing up my bets.”. Did I? No. Let’s hope this week I bet the right horses. We’ve got 5 races from Belmont Park, and then head out…
