Travers Stakes, Saturday August 29th
Well, we finally made it to one of my most favorite weekends of the summer, Travers weekend. I and a host of others, including Cornelio, will be headed off to the races this weekend. We’ll be trying to beat American Pharoah, and enjoying the other graded stakes races on the day. For those of you…

Pacific Classic, August 22nd
Well, Cornelio is still trying to recover from failing to bet on The Pizza Man last week in the Arlington Millions, went off at close to 5-1. There will be more days to bet and more days to race, we’ll see if we can make some money some other day. This week we have races…

Arlington Millions, Saturday August 15th

Santa Anita Handicap, March 7th
Well last week certainly was exciting, but in an odd way. For the first time, two of the six races in the Pick 6 Challenge were cancelled. It was due to weather at Gulfstream Park. What I have done as administrator, is “refund” any picks made in those races that week. If you were online,…
