Greetings Horse fans! What a terrible weekend at the Spa. The Hurricane washed out many turf races and left tiny fields. Fred capped it off with a skunking on Sunday. It was bound to happen but I won’t whine about losing a couple of close photos and picking a $29 winner but getting stiffed on […]

Fred started out the day slowly but crushed the feature for $130 and then hit his 4th triple of the meet to end the day. The Hurricane has passed but moisture will change the shape of racing on Saturday.  Onward and upward! May the Horse Be With You!

Halfway home and Fred started out the week with a nice day – three exactas including $130 in the feature! The Thursday weather does not look to be a factor in the selections so let build on Wednesday’s success!  Onward and upward!. May the horse be with you!

Weather once again ruined the day for Saratoga. Torrential rain overnight into the morning washed out the turf races and canceled two of the stakes races! Some Whitney Day! At least the cheater got beat in the big race. Fred had a quiet day – just one exacta. Looking for better weather but it doesn’t […]

Wild day at the Spa yesterday. Fred started with the winners of three of the first four and hit exactas in the 4th and 8th! About time he turned it around. Today is Whitney Day so let’s build Onward and upward!. May the horse be with you!

The rain from Wednesday impacted Thursday as well with all turf races except the Glens Falls canceled. Fred got scratched out of picks in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th before getting disqualified out of a decent exacta in the 7th when Irad was a bit too aggressive squeezing into an opening Then to cap […]

Well, nature can sometimes get the last laugh! About 40 minutes before post time in the first, the sky opened for a torrential downpour, washing out the steeplechase race and all turf racing for the day, including the feature. Fred got scratched out of picks in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 9th races – […]

Fred had a HUGE Sunday to close out the weekend that included three exactas (the largest $191) plus the second triple in as many days to end Sunday. As expected, Star Knott dominated the Bowling Green with a track record performance. Big favorite but deservedly so!  The weather was great so Fred hopes everyone enjoyed […]

Fred hit a couple of decent exactas and a $166 triple in the finale. We were close with Batten Down in the Jim Dandy but the two favorites proved too strong! Kind of a crappy card for a Sunday but at least the weather will hold! May the horse be with you!

Fred hit a couple of small exactas. The big event was a show parley for six races that included a fourth place finisher being moved up to third through disqualification.  My crew was highly amused as we turned $160 into $1,150 through some great picks! Funded some fun activities for the evening!  Fred is very […]
