BETTING TIPS
With a big weekend of racing in store for us, let’s try to pad the bankroll with a creative little double play that requires us to dig deep into the past performances to find an angle that others might overlook or dismiss. But first, a bit of a history lesson for some of you newer…
It’s early. Much can happen between now and November. But as it stands today, with races like the Pacific Classic, Travers, and Woodward still to be run, the potential field for the Breeders’ Cup Classic probably isn’t scaring anyone that feels they have a horse who will like 1 1/4 miles at Churchill Downs. Let’s…
Forget about the recap of the Saratoga contests. I busted out of both and I’m over it. But something amazing happened today in the Fourstardave Challenge and we’re going to talk about it now. As I mentioned yesterday, I had a strong opinion on a horse today that I felt could make or break the…
Ugh. Today was not my day. Just like every other tournament player out there, I had some good opinions that didn’t quite pan out as I had hoped. The “highlight” for me was in the early double, where I connected with 8-1 Taruca in the opener but needed 12-1 ML Red Curls in the second…
My kids are ages almost-7 and 5 1/2. On Friday, they begin first grade and kindergarten. And I won’t be there. Why?

Today was not a good day. It was a bad day. A really bad day. As noted here on LoneSpeed yesterday, I was all-in on Good Samaritan in the Whitney and I felt it was an incredible wagering opportunity based on my perception of the value he would offer. But then two bad things happened.…
Saturday’s Whitney Stakes at Saratoga presents an opportunity for me to bet against two horses who are expected to be the top two choices in the wagering, and bet on a horse that just might go totally ignored while ready to Both Diversify and Mind Your Biscuits (henceforth referred to as MYB) bring impressive resumes…
Perhaps lost in the excitement of Monomoy Girl’s incredible season and Wonder Gadot’s romps north of the border against boys are the two dominating wins turned in by a filly who just might be on the upswing with a mind on upsetting them all in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Red Ruby’s win in the Black…
When Good Magic won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last year, it was very very good for my bank account. And based on that performance as well as his prior race in the Champagne, I felt he was by far the most likely winner of the 2018 Kentucky Derby. So I made a wager with a…
