Today, folks from many Kentucky tracks made the trek to Frankfort to let their voices be heard with much riding on the decision of legislators. This could have been the ride to the promised land, or the final visit to the capitol. Personally, I have many friends who made the ride to Frankfort, Kentucky today. They […]
I have read a couple of stories and a blog about Summer Bird, winner of the Belmont. The story always has little differences, and his was no change. Chris Rosier was the only guy that sat atop Summer Bird. The big boys’ agents always start calling when the big races are at hand. This story was […]
It’s not to early to look at the Belmont card for Friday. Just think of it as studying for an exam early. Kick it off in the opener. They are traveling 7f on the Widener course. The runner in question is #4 For Free. He has the services of Ramon Dominguez, who is a 23% […]

I have a friend who is a trainer. He is a small-timer for the most part and has about twenty horses in his barn. He really loves the game, and his family has been involved since 1940. But the game has changed. When his family first started out, his father was a top notch rider […]
Mondays usually don’t offer a great deal of tracks to play. There is some turf racing, and for the most part it is hard level claimers. But the good thing is that they offer value. Lets take a look at Race #3 at Thistledown. Go to #3 Flying Peak who is 4-1. He is 11/19 […]

It has been raining in the Big Apple. If Noah hasn’t built an Ark, he may want to start! The best part is that on Sunday, there is a G-3 turf event called the Poker Stakes. Head to Race #8 at Belmont and take a gander at a top tier runner with a price attached. […]
As a handicapper, you are always thinking about how you can get better. I have tried systems, and always consult friends who love to play the races. But I have been doing better consistently this past year. I have been working with WinningPonies since July of 2008. I have blogged, and been part of the […]
Saturday is just a few days off. You will have time to read up, listen to the Internet show, and your data for the weekend. But before you kick things into overdrive, here is one that needs a look when you get your data in hand. On Saturday, take a look at Belmont. There […]
The best part about any race is the post-race jabber. Sometimes it is happy, and other times people can cry like a baby. But all in all it was good stuff this year. Sorta’…. Pletcher and Johnny V. loved the way Dunkirk ran. They felt they were in a spot to win, and just had […]
