DAY 11 RECAP-Chalk

Fred got off the schneid with a couple of small exactas. Lots of favorites so not too much opportunity to cash big. Fred is very much looking forward to a big Friday and a great Jim Dandy weekend! May the horse be with you!

Day 10 Recap. Fred the Iceberg

Well, it was bound to happen. Ten days into the meet, Fred lost the first race by a nose, the second by a head, the third race by a half length, and had his pick in the fourth and fifth run fourth. It turned into a very long day for Fred and his followers. After […]

DAY 9 RECAP – An Amazing Day!

Another terrific Sunday at Saratoga opened with Fred hitting a $56 exacta in the second race, a $48 daily double in the third, a $46 exacta in the third, a $48 exacta in the fourth and finally the $72 daily double in the 5th. In all, an amazing day for Fred and his followers. The […]

Day 8 – A magnificent day

A magnificent day at the Spa opened with Fred hitting a $147 exacta in the first race. That was the highlight until Thorpedo Anna roared home in the Coaching Club American Oaks. Sunday looks be another gorgeous day so let’s enjoy the Spa and close the weekend well! May the horse be with you!

DAY 7 RECAP – One of those days.

After a huge day on Thursday, the racing gods reminded Fred that it is a tough game. Fred picked several winners but could not connect them until Princess Madison stormed home in the 8th. Saturday looks be gorgeous so let’s enjoy the Spa and make some money as well! May the horse be with you!

DAY 6 RECAP – Big Day for Fred!

Fred had a huge day on Thursday, cashing over $300 from three exactas! The biggest hit was Brendan Walsh’s Proctor Street in the 9th, a $36 winner that was the top of a $201 exacta. The grass races stayed on the turf (it dried out from overnight rains) so it made for a better card. […]

Day 5 Recap

Another rain event hammered Saratoga Tuesday night so that washed the turf races away and canceled the AP Smithwick Steeplechase (Grade 1). That meant several races had small fields since many turf trainers do not want to risk running their horses on dirt after training them on grass. Let’s face it, during a heatwave Saratoga […]

Opening Weekend Recap

Fred had a pretty solid Opening Weekend as he closed out on Sunday with his fourth straight winner in the 1st race, followed by a daily double, exacta in the 3rd ($16), exacta in the fifth ($101) and the exacta in feature, the Quick Call ($24). NYRA had a mixed weekend – decent quality races […]

Day 3. These kind of days happen.

Fred opened the day with three straight exactas and a daily double. Unfortunately, all the favorites won those races so the payoffs were small. Beats ripping tickets but not the return Fred was hoping for. Those kind of days happen at Saratoga. The crowd sees the same thing that you do and bets accordingly. Later […]

Day 2. “Woulda, coulda, shoulda.”

Fred had one of those “woulda, coulda, shoulda” days yesterday. He opened with a $50 exacta in the first and had two other winners but could not connect second place horses for his exactas. Those kind of days happen at Saratoga. Add in the $75 bomb in the 6th race (no way could you figure […]
