Posted on by admin | Comments Off on Breeders Cup 2020

The 37th Edition of the Breeder’s Cup with be contested for the 2nd time in Lexington Kentucky, but for the 1st time in this series existence it will be fanless. Interesting as mother nature has put her blessing on the event with the best weather EVER for a BC in Kentucky: sunny, 70’s, and no precipitation on or leading up to the races. Should make for a perfect weekend of racing.

Seabiscuit BCTurnpike Ted’s 2019 Breeder’s Cup Commentary and Selections for Day One

“Future Stars Friday”

Friday, November 1, 2019

Thoroughbred racing ends a tumultuous year with its Breeders Cup Championships, making its 10th stop at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. After a Kentucky Derby result that went to the court system, and a Triple Crown winner whose drug test was questioned – throwing doubt on whether he should ever been able to race in that series; we end 2019 at the venue where euthanasia made more headlines than the racing results.

Del Mar, which played host two years ago; probably could have done so again, albeit with some complications –  but the “Powers That Be” have decided that they’ll tempt fate and run here anyway. Keep your fingers crossed that the equine athletes can leave this weekend the same way they entered it.

As always, please stay alert for any late program changes and scratches for both days. Off we go. Continue reading

Belmont Stakes 2019 Analysis

Posted on by admin | Comments Off on Belmont Stakes 2019 Analysis

Belmont 2019Before I get started, I’d like to give a shout out to friend Don Tiger and The Equine Investor  (www.equineinvestor.com ) for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts for the first time with a larger audience. I’ve been reading his commentary for a number of years and hope to justify his opinion of giving me a chance to fill his handicapping shoes for the third leg of the Triple Crown Challenge.  Hopefully, this year’s Belmont Selections will be ‘on the money’.

preakness 19 picPreakness Stakes-The 144th running of the Preakness stakes is carded as race 13 this Saturday at Pimlico Racecourse, approximate scheduled post time is 6:48 PM. The field consists of 13 entrants who are vying for the 2nd Jewel of the Triple Crown with no Triple Crown bid due to the controversial Derby result. The weather forecast has been dry leading up to the weekend and will remain that way with ideal temps, simply put perfect weather.

Ok so what the Puck happened in the Derby? To quote a famous line from the movie A Few Good Men, “I want the truth!”, to which Col. Jessep responded, “you can’t handle the truth”. Continue reading

Kentucky Derby 2019 Analysis

derby 145Kentucky Derby-(Louisville, Kentucky) the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby is carded as race 12 this Saturday at Churchill Downs, approximate scheduled post time is 6:50PM. The field consists of 20 entrants who are vying to make history having their name on a placard in the paddock at the storied Churchill Downs. The weather forecast shows cloudy with mild temps with a 100% chance of rain, Friday’s forecast was for 90% rain so main track likely sloppy with turf yielding, make those adjustments in your handicapping.

 

It’s perplexing that the only race in the US that has 20 horses go to the gate raced in early spring without fully matured animals has been able to produce 6 straight winning favorites. It’s actually so baffling that I needed to dig deeper into it. Prior to 2012, entrants got into the Kentucky Derby through graded stakes earnings, most viewed the system flawed as horses gathering points on Turf or Sprints or early at age 2 races accumulated enough to make the gate. Starting in 2013, a new point system was implemented called the Road to the Kentucky Derby, this system setup races and weighted these races so that only battled tested performers in the sport’s major prep races earn a spot in the gate. Interesting, since this was implemented all favorites have won. Continue reading

BC 2018Louisville, Kentucky- The Breeders Cup edition 35 is back at Churchill Downs for the 9th time while in Kentucky for the 10th time. It’s nice to see it move around as it does allow for different fan bases to attend and does keep the East vs West showdowns to have their own homecourt advantage, but wow the weather just never truly cooperates.
