2013 Belmont Stakes picks, odds & analysis.
Wynn|Encore has posted a future book of odds for the upcoming 2011 Breeders Cup. I always like to take a look at stuff like this. Let’s break down each race with a look at key contenders and some of the plays I would make if given the chance. Breeders Cup Classic This is going to [...]
Twirling Candy is an incredibly fast horse. No sane person would deny that fact. The son of Candy Ride owns 7 wins from 10 starts including triumphs in the Malibu Stakes, Del Mar Derby, Strub Stakes and Californian Stakes. He has had three chances to break through and prove himself as the top horse in [...]
The Delaware Handicap is one of my favorite races every year. The 10 furlongs distance makes it a great handicap race for 3+ fillies and mares. It is rated as a Grade 2, but needs to be upgraded to a Grade 1 ASAP. Last year’s winner Life At Ten will seek to defend her title [...]
The best West Coast fillies and mares do battle in the Grade 1 Vanity Handicap this Saturday at Hollywood Park. Six will go a mile & one-eighth over the Cushion Track, with the winner adding a Grade 1 win to their resume. For the first time in four years there will be a new winner [...]
The above photo is of 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra. This years Eclipse Awards are every bit as exciting as last year when she took the top spot. I didn’t get a vote, but if I did here are the horses I would’ve selected. Let’s take a look! Two-Year-Old Male: Uncle Mo wins [...]

Well, I knew he was lone speed, but I didn’t think Haynesfield was classy enough to take them all the way in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. How wrong I was! The son of Speightstown proved his pedigree wrong and got stronger as the race got longer to register his first Grade 1 victory. Blame, [...]
If you didn’t get the memo, Philadelphia Park is now known as Parx Racing. Their marquee event, the Pennsylvania Derby, was contested a week ago. Morning Line was an improbable winner for trainer Nick Zito. Now the girls will take center stage in the Grade 2 Cotillion Stakes. A compact field of five will compete for the [...]
Alabama Stakes Blind Luck (8-5) This filly just seems to know where the wire is. She has won three races by a nose and is clearly the one to beat here despite being second choice on the morning line. Look for her to come flying late under jockey Joel Rosario who will be piloting her [...]
Those who purchased my selections this weekend were rewarded when I correctly picked the winner in 5 of 7 races. I’m hoping to continue handicapping hotly this weekend and I am looking forward to all of the stakes action! Let’s examine the races where I was successful. Robert B. Lewis Stakes: Caracortado ($11)- I had [...]
