Faux Travers day includes Amsterdam, Forego and Sword Dancer Stakes
Here we are on what would have been Travers weekend, but that day has already passed with Tiz the Law romping down the course. Formula one is racing at Spa Belgium, but there is different horsepower for show at the Spa in Upstate New York. We’ve got 4 great stakes races from Saratoga and one…

Fourstardave Handicap and Pacific Classic, Saturday August 22nd.
I wish we had a few more big races out East, but it looks like it is the West’s day to shine with a lot of races out of Del Mar this weekend. As a reminder, this segment of the Pick 6 Challenge will go through the Kentucky Derby, which is being run the first…

Well here we are, the mid summer derby, a few weeks earlier than normal. I haven’t missed a Travers stakes in person in 16 years, it is a shame to not be at this one. We do have a great day of racing on tap, 5 races from Saratoga, and capping it off with the…

Woodward Stakes, Saturday September 5th
Wow, what a Travers stakes that was! It was great to see American Pharoah, great to see such an awesome race, I just wish I had bet a little more against him, like my friend Mark who had $20 to win on Keen Ice. Good for him. Well this week we return to Saratoga for…

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
This week in the Pick 6 Challenge, we are featuring five races from Arlington Park, and the Fourstardave from Saratoga. Race 1: The Pucker Up Stakes. This is a tough race to handicap. Unbridled Courage comes off 3 wins in a row, but is definitely moving up in class, and has never raced the turf.…

Whitney Stakes, Saturday August 8TH
Hey folks, Cornelio and I didn’t break the bank at Saratoga last weekend for the Jim Dandy, but we definitely didn’t hit it rich either. Throw in a Sunday spent blowing $30 trying to beat American Pharoah and we’re going to have to hit the track again this weekend for the Whitney if we ever…
