. 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. . […]

. Monday, September 7, 2020.  Kentucky Downs reopens today for their typical big time turf racing with big purses and big fields. On Labor Day, 120 horses will be laboring to reel in a piece of about $2.5 million in purse money, including $1million total for the 2 futurities. . . The featured Tourist Mile […]

. Sunday, September 6, 2020.  Just when you thought all the Derby talk was done, it’s not.  Another September Derby will run today at Del Mar as a dozen horses will compete in the G3 Derby on turf.  There’s also a $750k Derby at Kentucky Downs this week, and don’t forget the Olahoma and Canadian […]

. Sunday, September 6, 2020.  Hindsight is 2020 this year, especially when you cheated yourself out of the best PP’s in horse racing and missed out on $thousands in winnings, because you didn’t want to make a $9 investment in racing information and instead forked over hundreds to the track instead of winning. . Yesterday […]

. Friday, September 4, 2020.  The race of the day is obviously the Kentucky Oaks, but you probably don’t need us to tell you Swiss Skydiver will win at even money, Speech will get 2nd at 3-1, and Gamine will be a huge underlay 3rd at 8-5, making for the lowest paying trifecta in Oaks […]

. September 1, 2020. The most up to date stakes schedule for North America, Japan, and Ascot is released today. . Churchill Downs will kick off the first weekend of September in style, with the Kentucky Oaks and Derby, and a myriad of other graded stakes, then give way to Kentucky Downs, which has the […]

. Saturday, August 29, 2020.  Saratoga has another Saturday saturated with graded stakes such as the Saranac, Sword Dancer, and AmSterdam, and Forego Stakes. I tried to put as many S’s in there as possible in case anyone is reading it out loud. . The initial outlook is that the main track is muddy and […]

. Friday, August 27, 2020.   Charles Town has a big race day starting at 5PM ET, a 12 race card featuring the G3 Oaks and G2 Classic, along with 5 other exciting stakes races for various categories.  Racing should continue thru 11PM unless severe weather gets in the way. . The bad news is that […]

. Saturday, August 15, 2020.  Monmouth Park is hosting a last chance race to Run for the Roses next month, the Pegasus Stakes.  No, it’s not the $1 Million race in January at Gulfstream, but it does offer 20 points to the winner to help a Kentucky Derby ticket, and 8-4-2 for the also rans. […]

. Saturday, August 8.  Saratoga is having its historically biggest race day of the year today, with no fans in the stands, which is quite a strange spectacle.  The Travers G1 “Midsummer Derby” is the featured race, preceded by the Test G1 and several other graded stakes. . This also the last 100 point prep […]
