Showers and storms lead to a sloppy, sealed main track and no turf on opening day at the Spa. Early/pressing types off the rail fared well, with a trio of wire jobs on the day. Alan Garcia and Cornelio Velasquez both booted home a pair, and kudos to Steve Asmussen saddling a trio of winners. […]
LA Downs week in review (July 17-20)
There were a few noteworthy jockey and trainer efforts last week at Louisiana Downs, and the horse performance of the week was a tough call as well…
*** The turf (firm) rails were down and off the pace types performed well. The fast main track played as fair as can […]
A trio of wire jobs in 4 sprints, and a pair of off the pace winners at a flat mile made up the Polytrack winners on Monday at Del Mar. The turf route was was by an off the pace type, and the 5f turf sprint was nabbed by an early/pressing runner.

Louisiana Downs notes for Sunday (July 20th)
I had a productive day with four on-top winners on Sunday @ LA Downs, but I was most proud of the 4th place finish of I’m a Cleverdancer in the grassy 6th.
In my paddock report 15 minutes prior to post, I mentioned that I had used I’m a […]
Louisiana Downs review: Saturday (July 19th)
I pulled off an odd handicapping feat on Saturday @ LA Downs. I swept the card ten race card with my selections, but the only problem was seven of my 2nd choices won, and my 3rd choices nabbed the other three races. My tops garnered a trio of place finishes […]
Del Mar review (July 20th)
Day 5 of the Del Mar meet is in the books, and I had a very productive day selling the Sunday (July 20th) full card. Got four on-top winners, including 2 of my 3 bests bets home as well as the late Pick 4.
Polytrack continues to play fair. Five sprint […]
Day 4 of the Del Mar meet is in the books, and the Pick 6 was nailed despite a huge upset in the Osunitas Hcp by 43-1 outsider Zardana (Gryder/McAnally). Main track continues to play fair, with the route races favoring speed on Saturday, and patient runners doing best in sprints. Stalkers and off the […]
I am settling in nicely and am already four weeks into my Louisiana Downs Track Handicapper/TV Host gig. The main track is playing fair this week with early/pressing types holding the edge as usual. Turf course fair with the rails down.

Race 2: Farasino won her 3rd straight in easy fashion for leading owner […]
Polytrack played fair on Friday (7-18-08) with a pair of wire jobs (sprints) to end the day. Clifford Sise saddled a pair of winners on the card, and Tyler Baze rode both…
Race 3: It was bombs away in the opening leg of the Pick 6, as FTS Lucky Mite ($101.20) came from off the pace […]
