Rachel Alexandra won the Woodward Stakes against the boys last summer, but won’t repeat that feat this summer because she’s entered in the Grade I Personal Ensign on Sunday, August 29 th.
Rachel, no doubt, will go off as a low-priced, underlaid, horse racing wager to beat a field of only four other horses in the Personal Ensign.

The best thoroughbred racing bet to make at Del Mar on Friday, August 27th, appears to be on the Richard Mandella trained Calle Vista to win.
Papa Mandella hasn’t had the type of Del Mar meet that many horseplayers are accustomed to him having.
That’s okay because if Calle Vista comes through with a victory on Friday night as a huge overlay, then Papa M. will still be one of my…

American Oaks winner Harmonious takes on Evening Jewel at what I consider to be decent thoroughbred racing odds in the Grade I Del Mar Oaks on Saturday.
To me, Harmonious is the best bet to win on Del Mar’s card and might be one of the best bets to win this entire weekend.  I love Harmonious in the Grade I Del Mar Oaks on Saturday!  As far as Evening Jewel is concerned,…

The best Del Mar horse racing bet on Wednesday, August 18th, is in Race 5.  Because Carla Gaines saddles the morning line chalk, the horse that should be the favorite figures to go off at overlaid odds.
Gaines is winning at a 35% clip at the meet.  That’s pretty incredible considering how Del Mar’s Polytrack can favor speed one day and closers the next.  I believe I…

Although Sidney’s Candy, the Santa Anita Derby winner, and Golden Itiz, the Affirmed Handicap winner, face each other on the turf in Race 9 on Saturday at Del Mar, the best bet, based on the likely horse racing odds, appears to be in Race 7.
In Race 7, 3-year-old fillies take to the turf to go 1 mile in an $80,000 optional claimer.  Because of the depth of the field, my top pick…

After a quick peek at what the sky is going to look like above Saratoga Springs, NY on Thursday, it’s obvious to me that making a horse racing bet on any of Thursday’s turf races at the Spa could turn into a disaster.
There’s a 40% chance of rain in Saratoga Springs tomorrow.  That’s not good news to owners, trainers, and horseplayers who had expected to make some…

Although the featured race on the card, the Graduation Stakes, which goes off as Race 7, could provide one or two overlays, Race 6 should provide the best overlay on which to make a horse racing bet.

Friday’s Pick 4 at Del Mar is an incredibly challenging sequence. So challenging in fact, that I’m going 4 deep in the first leg and 3 deep in the other 2 legs before going 2 deep in the final leg.
After 2 days at Del Mar, it’s plainly obvious that almost every favorite is vulnerable in every race. Using a mix of long shots and favorites in each leg will assure a greater chance…

Mother Nature wiped out racing at Belmont Park and Delaware Park on Wednesday, as the heat wave continued on the east coast.
The temperatures hit the mid 90’s on Wednesday afternoon at Belmont Park, and with the heat index reaching triple digits, racing was canceled.
It was the seventh cancelation in New York this year, the first since March, and hopefully the last one of the summer due to…

Wednesday’s Pick 3 begins in Race 7 at Belmont Park, a $25,000 claimer at 7 furlongs over the turf, and ends in Race 9, a $16,000 maiden claimer going 6 furlongs over the turf.
This is a competitive Pick 3.  The payout should be a nice one since each favorite in each leg appears vulnerable.

Danzon has won close to $485,000 dollars yet she’s a big 8 to 1 long shot to win the Locust Grove at Churchill Downs on Saturday.
The main reason for Danzon’s long shot status is the fact that she’s picked up most of her paychecks in restricted stakes and high-level optional claimers.
The 7-year-old mare hardly runs in graded races.

In her last 3 races, General Consensus has had to chase after the best female turf horse on the west coast, Tuscan Evening.  Tuscan Evening isn’t entered for the Grade III Beverly Hills at Hollywood Park on Saturday, June 26th. 
Because of that, General Consensus might very well be the best horse to bet not only to win the Grade III Beverly Hills, but she might be the best…

Trainer Ron Ellis is about as astute of a horseman in Southern California as there is.
He has often times turned somewhat talented horses into great horses.
He’s a careful trainer. That’s one of the reasons that Golden Itiz, who comes form Elis’s barn, has to be taken seriously in Hollywood Park’s 8th on Saturday.
