Final Big Breeder’s Cup Qualifier Day, Joe Hirsch, 5 Grade 1’s, October 8, 2022
It is another big weekend of racing with lots of Breeder’s Cup qualifying races scheduled. I’ve put 5 up to challenge you this weekend. The Joe Hirsch Turf Classic is not a Breeder’s Cup win and you’re in qualifier, but I still think it will be a great race so I added it to the…

There are four Breeder’s Cup Qualifying races today, and we are going to four tracks, Aqueduct, Churchill Downs, and Santa Anita. I had to leave the Woodward Stakes off today, there were only 5 horses entered, and Life is Good looks much the best with M/L odds of 1/9. What do the rest of the…

Week 2 of the Triple Crown Challenge takes us to Belmont for 5 stakes races, and then out to Santa Anita for the last race of the day, the Santa Barbara Stakes. There are much smaller fields than last week’s races, and may be les money to be won unless we see another longshot like…

Once again we go into another big weekend of Derby Prep races, and there are just too many stakes races to chose from. We’ve got a trio of Stakes from Keeneland finishing up with the Blue Grass Stakes. I grabbed the Wood Memorial and Carter from Aqueduct (wish I could get the Remsen in there…

Louisiana Derby Weekend, March 26 2022
We head to the Fair Grounds race track in Louisiana today for 5 races including the Louisiana Derby prep race, and then on to Santa Anita for our late day closer. There are smaller fields this week, but still plenty of good horses to chose from, I suspect another week with not enough selections to…

Gotham and Fountain of Youth Stakes, March 5, 2022
We’ve got a huge day of prep races and racing this Saturday. There were so many races I just couldn’t fit them all into the Pick 6 Challenge. So disappointing. But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch them and bet on your own time. Let’s have a look at the races we do have in…
