Saturday, September 26, 2020.  Sunny Santa Anita has 7 stakes races today, including 5 graded races and 5 contests offering an automatic slot to one of the Breeders’ Cup races in November.  Thus, the action is hot, and the weather is warm but not quite hot, as usual for sunny southern cal. .

. September 24, 2010.  It’s Pre-Preakness week, but we have a list of probables for the Preakness, so it’s a good time for an early precap of the possible contenders and their past performances.  It’s time to start narrowing down the field of 15 before we actually know the final field. . There are only […]

. Wednesday, September 16, 2020.  Kentucky Downs will close tonight after a brief but exciting meet which as usual featured the largest average daily purse size of any racing meet in North America.  If it seems like their meet just began, it did open just 10 days ago, and just like that it’s over. .

Yesterday […]
