Joe Hirsch Turf Classic, Saturday September 26th
Well, we definitely had a couple upsets last week at Laurel Park and Kentucky Downs. More power to you if you had either of those picks right. This week there are a whole bunch of win and you are in Breeders Cup races, and a lot of Grade 1 races as well. I’ve selected 3…

The Stephen Foster, June 13th
Tough week for those picking Belmont weekend, looked like the high score was 3 correct. Lots of upsets, but not in the Belmont stakes where we saw our first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed. Remember that for trivia folks. On to this week’s races, where Churchill has some night stakes for us, and we see…

Penn Mile, May 30th
Well, first off, Cornelio is sorry he wasn’t able to get up a pre-race article last week, he promised to try harder this week. On Pick 6 Challenge news, a big shout out to Charles River Stables, who won a whopping $85.40 on Neveradoubt, way more than all the other winners combined, and took home…

Man O’ War Stakes, May 9th

Rebel Stakes, March 14th
Well, last week turned out to be quite the “chalky” week, but I don’t think anyone managed to put together all 6 of them (if only I had room for Ring Weekend). This week features some distinctively light fields averaging around 7 horses to choose from. The last race of the day, The Rebel is…

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,…

Santa Anita Gold Cup, Saturday June 28th
This is it folks, the last week of the 2014 Triple Crown Challenge. Where did the weeks go, am I right? Many of us find ourselves in the familiar position of chasing the leader Piolo and his TripleDouble entry. If you are going to catch him, you will need to do it at a track…
