    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…

    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…
