Just stopping by for a few races. I kinda missed you guys… Tom had been away for two months, and was in the hospital. It was good to see him. Glad he stopped by… He has played the races for over fifty years, and his memory is incredible. He can tell you every winner from […]
Every year, Dr. Moses takes a trip. He is a lifelong bachelor, and is dedicated to teaching. This has been his life, and he has many friends that love to swap stories and catch up with the good professor… Oh, did I mention, he has visited over 50 tracks around the world, and loves his […]
Wednesday is a good day to get some action…. It is only a few more days until we hit the scene with stakes for New York, Kentucky, Florida, and Gulfstream Park. But, until then, let us build a bankroll and concentrate on the day… Aqueduct – Race #1 – #2 – Linda’s Kisses (4-1). Anna […]
How a 3-year-old runs in Gulfstream Park’s second oldest stakes race often foretells a good showing in the Florida Derby. Five of the past 15 Fountain of Youth (FOY) winners repeated in the track’s premier offering: Quality Road, last year; Scat Daddy, 2007; High Fly, ’05; Vicar, ’99; and Thunder Gulch, ’95. Since ’79, only […]
Everyone seems to bitch and moan. If it is not about purse cuts, it is about the condition of the game overall. Let’s try something new. Let’s fix it ourselves….. Trainers – The average trainers are going to get steamrolled during theses tough times. Not because they have average to below stock. It is about […]
At the track, we like to adopt the casino term of “Whale.” It kinda made us feel like we were chasing the elusive big players. I have met many who pretend, and some who contend. But overall, the stories grow and grow, and they never seem to end. There is always someone around the next bend […]
There is a bevy of solid racing going on as usual for this time of year. There is a great card in California that is being made up due to inclement weather, and Florida has big action on both coasts. So, buckle down and get your data early to get in the game. But, to […]
I was all stoked as Terry Wallace said that there would be a BIG announcement the very next day. I had a feeling, and I was correct… The purse was huge, but we will have to wait until a later time for the gals do battle. Oaklawn president Chalie Cella went to the wall and p0nied […]

This past weekend at Aqueduct, we saw a very nice three-year-old run in the $100,000 Whirlaway Stakes. It was a compact field headed by an overwhelming favorite Eightyfiveinafifty. I was glued to the screen when, after breaking well and getting in a roll, the first turn was the place where this baby bolted and went […]
I hate this time of year. The snow, the cold and the dreary days. If you ever hear me yell or bitch about a hot summer day, just give me a good slap and remind me of this piece. But, there are some things that brighten my day and get me thinking about the spring. […]
