Workouts don't give us the entire picture but they do leave a trail of bread crumbs for us to follow. These bread crumbs might not lead to significant value immediately but I have found that following a trail of bread crumbs consistently can lead too a big meal down the line. Below is a short list of runners that I feel are worth following. All have made a positive impression of late.

1. ENRICHED - Long fused gelding is related to Lava Man. I liked him from Day 1. It took a few months and a drop in class before he finally showed off his talent when laying waste to a field of maiden claimers. I am still convinced he is a horse with stakes ability. He looked fantastic when ...

Celebrating the 4th of July means three things: fireworks, outdoor barbeques and the assurance that summer travel season is in full swing.  For horse racing enthusiasts, the best way to enjoy a vacation is often at the track.

We’ve listed a few ideas below, but this list is by no means exhaustive.  A good travel agent can help you develop a tailored vacation that integrates horse racing with the other activities on your list.

Of course, as soon as next weekend Zenyatta is set to defend her crown and rights to Horse of The Year honors with an expected start in the Vanity Hcp at 1 1/8 miles over the cushion track. Next, the American Oaks for 3yo fillies at 1 1/4 has become an international event and the Triple Bend which is a Grade 1 will hopefully pad our bankrolls for the rest of the summer leading into Del Mar...
