Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. There are two recent examples of decisions make by jockeys that surprised me and have me wondering to what extent those decisions should influence my Kentucky Derby wagering. For starters, the biggest news this week was that Mike Smith chose Omaha Beach over…
Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. Think back to the 2013 and 2014 Kentucky Derbies. Both races featured a runner-up that led to the tote board blowing up. Those two horses were Golden Soul and Commanding Curve, both at odds of over 30-1. And this year, the horse that…
Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. I think it’s fair, even if you weren’t terribly turned off by Vekoma’s 3rd place effort in the Fountain of Youth, to draw a line through it. It was his first start in four months and he had every right to need a…
Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. I have a lot of experience attending the Kentucky Derby. From 1995 through 2010, I only missed two Derbies. I’ve been twice since 2011. I have sat everywhere, and paid every price for tickets. In recent years, Churchill Downs has seemingly tried to…

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. Horses that come from the absolute clouds almost never win the Kentucky Derby. There. I said it. And it needed to be said. Because Haikal comes from the clouds. He’ll probably run all day and all night, but to win the Kentucky Derby…
Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. Frequent visitors to LoneSpeed know that I have a very strong opinion about Code of Honor. And that opinion cost me money when he won the Fountain of Youth. My opinion is that he is a miler, with a preference for mile races…
Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. Last year’s Juvenile Champion has missed with both of his shots this year, but that won’t keep him from getting his share of wagering support on the first Saturday in May. That’s for sure. As we know, Game Winner is one of three…
If you aren’t part of the tournament circuit, you probably still heard about this weekend’s most talked about horse racing controversy. Maybe you caught wind of it on social media. Maybe you sat next to someone at a bar who was a victim of it. Or maybe you saw the reference to it via Buzzfeed’s…
Three days removed from my first appearance in the National Horseplayers Championship, the dust has settled and I am back in the real world. Back at home. Back at work. And beginning a break of indeterminate length from the contest circuit. As I mentioned in a previous post, a break seems like a good idea,…
Had you told me four days ago that I would finish my first National Horseplayers Championship in 47th place out of 668 entries and take home $6,000, there is a very strong chance I would have cried tears of joy. As I sit here in my Treasure Island hotel room on Monday morning, waiting to…
