Weekend Winners Club

. Sunday, June 5 Golden Gate Fields . There’s a typical 9 race card at Golden Gate today, with medium to small fields as usual.

. Saturday June 5 Churchill Downs . It’s been a few weeks since we said anything about Churchill Downs, probably since the Kentucky Derby, but they’ve still got a lot of summer racing on tap. This weekend we have a Pick 6 Jackpot of $490k. It’s a shame that it only increased $10k from yesterday. […]

. Monday, May 30 Santa Anita Park . Memorial Day this year has some nice carryovers for the Pick 6 wagers, but one of them is particularly attractive. Not a Jackpot wager where you need the unique ticket to win, Santa Anita’s is a traditional Pick 6, and today the carryover is $438k. . This […]

. Sunday, May 29 Belmont Park Elmont NY . The Belmont Stakes 148 field continues to narrow down as connections are becoming disinterested in taking on Preakness winner and Kentucky Derby runner-up Exaggerator, who does look rather invincible at the 12 furlong distance at this point.

. Thursday, May 19 Pimlico Race Course . The Preakness is actually usually one of the easiest races of the year to handicap. Despite a usually large field of 10-14, and a mix of horses that ran in the Kentucky Derby and some that didn’t, the statistics for the Preakness make it more predictable than […]

. Thursday, May 18 Churchill Downs . A lot of hoopla is going on at Pimlico this week, and we already have the Preakness Grid posted for public download if you check one of the links on the right. . In the meantime, we haven’t done anything for Churchill since the Derby, and this week […]

. Wednesday, May 18 Pimlico Race Course . The Preakness draw that nobody saw outside of the Pimlico facility, has taken place, and the contenders are now equipped with post positions and morning lines. .

. Saturday, May 14 Pimlico Race Course Baltimore, MD . Click here for this year’s Preakness info . The field for the Preakness is shifting about this week in the aftermath of the Kentucky Derby. So far all we seem to know is that the fantastic Derby duo of Nyquist and Exaggerator will be in […]
