Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. I’m going to keep this one very short. If Cutting Humor wins the Kentucky Derby, I will seriously consider forgetting everything I know about handicapping. I can name at least 12 horses that I think are more likely to win. Maybe 15.

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back.

Derby Spotlight: Roadster

By Justin Dew | April 27, 2019

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. I was at Del Mar the day Roadster made his career debut. The word was out. Bob Baffert had already said publicly that this guy was his “next Justify”. So the debut win was not a surprise. It is also not surprising that…

LoneSpeed Fan Post

By Nick Quadrato | April 26, 2019

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back.

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. The results of the four grass races to start his career are a clear indicator that War of Will has talent. His first three dirt races, all of which were wins, showed he was a serious contender for the Kentucky Derby. But what…

Derby Spotlight: Win Win Win

By Justin Dew | April 23, 2019

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. I have no issue with playing a horse in a route whose best races have come sprinting.
