Day 1 of the 2008 Del Mar meet is in the books, and it was an exciting opening day of racing. Rafael Bejarano booted home a trio of winners, and Tyler Baze got off to a fast start with a pair. Mike Mitchell, Jeff Mullins, and Doug O’Neill each saddled a winner, and the resurgent [...]
Here is a recap of stakes races that were run around the country over the weekend (July 12-13). Note that I already covered the Swaps, Man O’ War and Prince of Wales in previous articles…
Arlington Park
Stream Cat easily ran down loose on the lead 2-time defending Arlington Hcp (G2) champ Cosmonaut on Saturday. The runner-up [...]
My 3rd week as Louisiana Downs Track Handicapper/TV Host is in the books. Thursday was an impossible day with one longshot after another producing a pair of 2 out of 4 Pick Four payouts. Form returned on Friday, and I ended the week on a high note with a total of 7 on-top winners over [...]
The Sunday (July 13th) program at Louisiana Downs featured an impressive victory by a SoCal shipper, and I had another rock solid handicapping day with a trio of on-top winners. Let’s get to the highlights…
Race 1: My value oriented top Super Brad ($12.40) necked 3-5 fav BG Hi Hi Is Ben in the opener. The [...]
Todd Pletcher’s promising three-year-old Harlem Rocker had won his first three races in easy fashion, maiden and entry level tallies at the Gulf, followed by a visually impressive Withers (G3) victory at the Big A in New York.

Race 4: 1.90-1 fav Jacobs Spirit made a wide winning bid around the far turn and briefly looked home free in early stretch, but he didn’t [...]
The compact four-horse Swaps (G2) at Hollywood Park on Saturday (July 12th) was a tactical race, and Tyler Baze outmaneuvered Martin Pedroza (Two Step Salsa) and Garret Gomez (Colonel John) en route to a great ground saving 1-1/4 length tally aboard Tres Borrachos. He completed the nine furlongs in 1:49.29 and paid a generous $24.00. [...]
2006 BC hero Red Rocks was back on US soil and got the firm ground he enjoys, and he parlayed a perfect trip behind a lively pace into a razor sharp two length tally over reigning Horse of the Year Curlin in the $500k Man O’ War (G1) at Belmont Park on Saturday (July 12th). [...]
The Friday (July 11th) card at Louisiana Downs was pretty much uneventful after the bombs away longshot fest on Thursday. Here are notes for the day that was…
Race 4: My top choice Song Production, 9-2 morning line, was dead on the board at 10.70-1, and she was hug out to dry from the outside post [...]
