19 Handicappers’ Selections for the Belmont Stakes
The final race of the 2009 Triple Crown delivered yet another dramatic twist last weekend when Summer Bird finished first
I don't have much to say in regards to the Belmont Stakes that hasn't already been thrown out there on the heels of the race by the masses.
The 3rd jewel of the Triple Crown takes place on Saturday with the running of the Belmont Stakes.
Breeders Cup 2008
Our packages for Breeders Cup 2008 are now concluded.
As expected, heavily favored Zenyatta made a mockery of the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic (gr. I) on Friday.
The contest is now closed. Thanks for playing!
The logic behind stride length is straight forward -- other things being equal, the horse with the longer stride can take fewer strides to cover the same distance..
Curlin is certainly the favorite in the Classic based on the way our Breeders' Cup contest selections are running. Earning 4 times as many selections as the next favorite Casino Drive.

Fundamentals
The most common place to bet is at the racetrack itself.
Learn about the different sources of handicapping data that can help you handicap the races.
When a horse is castrated, it is said to be "gelded". If a horse is listed as a "first time gelding" in the program, then it is making its first start as a gelding.
It is every racetrack’s nightmare: an aging fan base and a sharp decline in regular attendance.
It is important to anticipate how a race will play out before making a serious wager.
Horse racing, commonly referred to as the “Sport of Kings,” was once a rich man’s game and an impossible investment for the average fan.
CASE the Race profiles races for Thoroughbreds, which are a breed of horse that have been recorded since the 17th century.
In California, the switch to synthetic surfaces for horse racing tracks is complete. The assessment of this change, however, is still underway.
Racing surfaces are graded based on how much moisture is on the track. There are four levels of moisture for both dirt and turf.
Collectively called straight bets, the most popular bets are the win, place, and show bets.
