. Monday, July 4, 2022.  Yes the annual grilling day of the USA is finally here, and so is Independence Day racing at Churchill Downs, with some awesome 2yo stakes racing and a few MSW’s thrown in for good measure.  There is over $1 million in purse money up for grabs today at CD! . […]

. Saturday, July 2, 2022. Churchill Downs is always a great venue for summer racing, and today is no exception.  CD kicks off the weekend with a slew of stakes races, some great 3yo races, a few MSW’s, and 12 races total, featuring the Stephen Foster G2. . The 12 race card begins at 12:45PM, […]

. Saturday June 25, 2022 represents a big day for little Thistledown as they host their signature race, The Ohio Derby G3, and 3 other stakes races.  It’s rare that we cover the tiny track, but this is a special occasion and the race of the week. . Weather in North Randall Ohio is scheduled […]

. Saturday, June 18, 2022.  Monmouth Park has its biggest day of the meet so far, with 4 stakes races, 3 graded, and an MSW on the 14 race card. In addition, they are continuing with the fixed odds wagering program, a staple in European and Australian markets, many of whom only carry Monmouth. . […]

Thursday, June 16, 2022.  Belmont has a strong weekday racing card from 3pm-730pm today with 9 races and over 80 horses scheduled.  Churchill had a really nice night racing card set up for 5pm but it was canceled due to hot weather.  The rest of the week will probably be canned too. . Meantime […]

. Friday, June 10, 2022.  Belmont Park is on the eve of the coveted Belmont Stakes card which will host 8 Grade 1 races on Saturday, which is awesome by the way.  But I like today’s card just as much.  The fields are larger and there are 5 graded races. . Today there are many […]

Belmont has 11 […]

. May 3, 2022.  Performance figures can be used to handicap any race, including the Kentucky Derby, so why not use them this weekend?  No good reason I can think of. Of course, there are many other methods, criteria and qualifications to win The Derby.  Which is why you should get the Derby Grid. . […]
