Many players feel like a monkey is on their back. He tells me what to do, and I find myself listening to the monkey. He is a savage beast. This animal grabs my wallet, and makes me do the silliest things. He wasn’t there when we walked in, and out of thin air the 500 lb. beast […]
Clouds parted and thunder rolled. Something big was about to happen, and it would change the way gamblers would look at wagering forever. No more would we curse the darkness and wonder why the universe exacted payback for our mistakes. From this day forth, gamblers from all walks would have a guideline of how to […]
It is never too early to start thinking Breeders’ Cup. California gets center stage, and hopefully we can expect the weather to more than cooperate. For starters, I would take a glance over the charts. It always helps to get a foothold on what the past has shown. For this handicapper, you can never put enough […]
There is nothing like it in the world. When you see your shining racing silks arrive in the paddock with your rider, it is like being the owner of a sports franchise. You select the look, design, and rider who will carry your flag on this day. You may or may not have had a voice in […]

This time of year has everyone thinking about roses. Not the ones you receive from your secret love. I am talking about the glorious red roses that decorate the winner’s circle at Churchill Downs. I have been reading every report, blog, and tweet about the road to the Triple Crown. This is when you can’t […]
With no real football until next week, there should be no excuse to buckle down and really get capping. Most of the country has snow, ice, and rain. But if the weatherman is correct, it should be a solid day in Hallandale, Florida as we kickoff the road to the Derby. So, grab your E-Z Win […]

Is it really 2012?? I can sitting in my dad’s living room watching the first Breeders’ Cup in 1984. There was no simulcast wagering in our area, and the ADW explosion had yet to detonate. We were wagering with our local bookmaker, and watching history unfold before our very eyes. This day is all […]
Now this probably sounds a bit odd but this is the honest to goodness truth. I would be willing to wager my entire weekend bankroll for any takers. They could be found every Saturday in preferred parking, and our tip would be a large pepperoni and sausage pizza. Father McDoolin was about 75-years-old. A very […]

How many times have you been going along, and a pal at the track approaches you with the whispering voice of good things to come? I would guess that it is over a thousand for me, and it continues to grow. Tips, steamers, hot-things, locks, good things, and the inside scoop. These are just a few […]
