BETTING TIPS
There are two favorites late in the Saturday Churchill card that I think are a little on the vulnerable side, and being that both are part of the same Pick 3 sequence, I think this is a good spot to try and crush a slim play. Race 8 Curate takes his 2 for 2 record…
Full disclosure: I felt Blame was robbed of the Horse of the Year title in 2010 when voters gave it to Zenyatta. To me, it was a no-brainer. But too many others didn’t agree. I bring this up so that the opinion expressed below can be read with additional context. This year, the Eclipse Award…
The reason I can sleep at night in spite of a couple of hugely moronic decisions I made in the BCBC is that I was never making money with the final three races being won by Monomoy Girl, Enable, and Accelerate. It’s not that I didn’t respect those horses. In fact, I was preparing to…
It’s been nearly four full days since Accelerate took down the Breeders’ Cup Classic, and I’ve had plenty of time to travel home, play with the kids, do a ton of laundry, and watch election coverage on TV. I’ve also had time to gather my thoughts about not just the Breeders’ Cup, but also the…
LoneSpeed contributor Steve Decaspers is back with more valuable Breeders’ Cup insight… It is both valuable and maddening that you have two weeks to handicap the Breeders’ Cup races. In that sense, there is no other race card like it – and your opinions of horses can go through a number of phases – infatuation,…
It’s here. Now its time for you to let it rip at the windows (or on your laptop or phone or whatever). The time for stressing out of whether to single Newspaperofrecord or whom to box with Catalina Cruiser is over. You’ve done the research… …unless you haven’t!!!! And if you haven’t, or if you…
The Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile will be run around one turn. And that makes it extra exciting, in my opinion. For starters, the one-turn aspect it makes it a little more appealing to sprinters than if it were a two-turn race. And the distance itself means it’s a logical spot for routers who aren’t quite…
Are you interested in writing for LoneSpeed? Send in your stuff and we’ll post it. This blog comes from John Whalen. Thanks John! It’s hard for me to think about a Breeders Cup at Churchill without flashing back to 2011. I had been a fan of the ponies for a couple of years but it…
More from Craig Spencer…. Dirt Mile – last raced within 6 weeks in a Grade 1 or Grade 2, a good last work is a plus: The first five winners of this race all were 6-1 or better, the next 3 were a bit easier to figure. The past two years we returned to…
Do you think Sistercharlie will be the post time favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf? Because I don’t. I think it will be Wild Illusion or maybe even Magic Wand. Just my opinion. As a handicapper, while we are supposed to search for things that no one else sees, we don’t ever…
