READ, WATCH, & LISTEN TO STUFF
I can’t be the only one who noticed that Game Winner closed at 5.9-1 in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager last weekend, while his sire, Candy Ride, could have been had at the slightly-more-generous price of 7.0-1 in the Sires Wager. Even the slowest among us can see that it would have…
It seems like every single person on Horse Racing Twitter is outraged beyond words about the sudden and unexpected firing of Santa Anita track announcer Michael Wrona by Tim Ritvo of The Stronach Group. The typical comment goes something like this: “After being forced to win an audition, he was fired suddenly from his dream…
Hi everyone. Some new cool stuff is happening at LoneSpeed. Watch this video now or get OFF my website!!! (click the title….)
In his review of the Breeders’ Cup, DRF’s Mike Watchmaker had this to say about City of Light and the Dirt Mile itself: While I am in full agreement that City of Light was sensational, I disagree with the overall tone and some of the specific points Watchmaker made here. For one, he argues…
Based on his social media posts, I can only assume that the Scott C. atop the BetPTC leaderboard after Day 1 of the Cash Is King contest is none other than Scott Carson, known on Twitter as @CarsoniPH. Carson tweeted on Saturday that he rode Risky Proposition and his 22.5-1 off odds to wins in…
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…
