Who wants to go to Japan with me?

By Justin Dew | April 20, 2019

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. Word came down this week that The Japan Racing Association will host their own wagering pool for the Kentucky Derby if their native son, Master Fencer, starts in the race.

Derby Spotlight: Omaha Beach

By Justin Dew | April 20, 2019

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. Are we looking at the Kentucky Derby favorite here? Seems likely so. The decision by Mike Smith to ride this guy over Roadster is a big deal in my opinion. And he’s been visually impressive in both recent stakes wins. That said, even…

Derby Spotlight: Long Range Toddy

By Justin Dew | April 19, 2019

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. I had been hoping that Long Range Toddy would turn in a good performance in the Arkansas Derby so that he would attract attention at the windows in the Kentucky Derby and I could bet against him. But it was not to be.…

Jockey Decisions

By Justin Dew | April 18, 2019

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…

Derby Spotlight: Country House

By Justin Dew | April 18, 2019

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…

Derby Spotlight: Vekoma

By Justin Dew | April 17, 2019

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…

Derby Ticket Prices Are Officially Insane

By Justin Dew | April 17, 2019

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…

Derby Spotlight: Maximum Security

By Justin Dew | April 17, 2019

Brought to you by BetPTC.com, the only ADW offering instant cash back. We may be on the verge of seeing a horse that debuted for a $16,000 tag win the Kentucky Derby. I mean, that could actually happen. Maximum Security is undefeated and has put up some speed figures that make him plenty competitive with…

Derby Spotlight: Haikal

By Justin Dew | April 16, 2019

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…
