With the doors opening at Gulfstream, Tampa, and Fair Grounds still early in the meet you will want to employ patience. I have found that following the tried and true methods usually kick back in to full gear. Now more than ever, your E-Z Win Forms are stat ready in real-time to help you pick […]
I have always felt pretty lucky as a racing fan. Not because I have every pick-six, trifecta, or get free coffee. Living in Kentucky allowed me to visit some of the venues where the horse is celebrated. Going to Turfway Park during the cold winter to get rolling toward the spring. Making the drive down […]
Since I was a little guy trailing my dad to the races I always looked up high to the “perch” where the track announcer held court. To me this was the greatest job in the world, and it was hard to believe that they actually paid these folks. But after further review they all deserve a […]
One of the curious pleasures of life is doing something you’ve never done before… I Checked the weather forecast, grabbed a road map, and headed out to a weekend adventure through winding roads, peppered with working farms and fields of freshly grown tobacco yellow tipped and ready for harvest. Though a destination was in mind, […]

Every Labor Day was the last chance of the summer to battle with River Downs. Mostly they were claiming races, but you could always expect some excellent turf races and the day would be capped off with the Miller Lite Cradle Stakes.

I used to cut my teeth watching a local TV program about horse racing. There were two of the greatest guys on the tube that could educate without talking over your head. They would poke fun at each other and allow you to see the fun side of racing. It was time well spent, and […]
Horses worth watching, a list of runners compiled by handicapper/turf writer Greg Melikov, should do well next time out. These thoroughbreds won seven times, finished second eight times and ran third six times since June 22. They’re worth considering when developing your wagering strategy for online betting or at your favorite track. ARLINGTON PARK Lion […]
Every morning, I used to walk around beautiful River Downs. The scenic river view, the sunshine, and heat that could melt the asphalt. There was a special table near the food court that had some very unique characters. They used to pull three tables together, play the races, and complain worse than old ladies playing bingo. If […]
I fell in love going to the track with my Dad many moons ago. Mainly cheap claimers, and an occasional turf race at River Downs. I have seen riders take the “married man” route going five wide, and watched young Peruvian reinsman scoot up the rail with not enough room for the sun to shine […]
It was a hot and sunny day at River Downs today, but that could be any of the 100 + they conduct racing. I drifted in to spend a little time watching and betting a buck when two old regulars pointed and hollered, “Hey, who is that guy over there?” – Well, as I sat […]
