Astute followers of this blog know last year’s Preakness was a huge windfall for Ponycapper, so the question becomes — was it a one year fluke? Time will tell… What I do know is the Derby was a disaster for me with only Battle of Midway showing up in the slop. The forecast looks dry […]
As the Title would indicate, I will start out by saying confidence is sky high for the 2017 Derby. With one caveat – confidence is fairly high that 2 of my top 5 picks will finish 1-2 so I will be focusing most of my attention on HITTING THE EXACTA !!!!!!!. The downside is if […]
Before we begin, let me give a shout out to all my peeps who will be hitting the windows hard down at the Borgata in Atlantic City. There are ample betting opportunities on the Saturday Breeders Cup Card, and realistic chances to take down some nice scores. In addition to the Triefecta, I am recommending […]

Belmont Picks After two disappointing legs of the Triple Crown, Whitey will try and redeem himself. Whitey’s Top 5 2 – Stay Thirsty – 20-1- I said before the Derby that he would be my Belmont pick and I am not wavering. I predicted he would get better with distance and time and he should […]
Whitey Preakness Analysis Given the fact that my Derby picks will go down in history as the worst picks ever and the fact that I haven’t had much time to cap the Preakness due to work demands, I’m demoting myself in the batting order and will Gave Dave Halpren center stage for this blog entry. […]
We will take a stab at 3 tracks today – Tampa, Hawthorne, and Gulfstream. As astute followers may have noticed from our last week’s pick, Whitey is white hot at Tampa, as he brought in 3 horses between 10 and 20-1 odds. Today we are not as focused on longshots but a few are sprinkled […]
