I made a post last year about handicapping claiming races. But I realize now that I missed one of the most important aspects of a claiming race. While I mentioned several typical handicapping angles, I forgot to talk about claiming prices. A claiming race has a price or range of prices that a prospective owner […]

There are a lot of websites that offer projections on which horses might win a race. The trick is to find the ones that project consistent winners. But in the end, you have to decide which horses to put in your multi-race wager. I sometimes use the websites that are not so good at projecting […]

Knowing when to “Throw out” or ignore the results of a race when looking at the past history of a horse is critical to finding long shots. I recently made the mistake of including a bad race result for a horse and it caused me to overlook a longshot winner in my pick 4. I […]

After my terrible pick 4 results this past Wednesday, I decided to try and redeem myself with Saturday’s all-stakes late pick 4 at Gulfstream. With a strong favorite in most of the races, it looked like it wouldn’t be too hard to build a good pick 4 that was within my $18 budget. I had […]

This past Wednesday TVG had one of their pick 4 bonus promos at Gulfstream Park. My pick 4 wager hinged on a single in the 8th race. Munnys Gold is a 3-year-old Female trained by Todd Pletcher who had won her first race by 14 lengths. I was concerned about the 223-day layoff and the […]

For the month of January, TVG has a late pick 4 promo running on Wednesdays at Gulfstream Park and Fridays at Santa Anita. Last week I managed to get 3 out of 4 races correct and missed out on a $296.90 payout. After coming so close, I decided to work on an Excel spreadsheet macro […]

2022 was the first full season of horse racing since the pandemic began in 2020. At the end of the year, I like to check out my Fanduel (TVG) account summary wagering results. This past year I deposited $980 and withdrew $455. Ideally, you want to withdraw more than you deposit, but I only withdraw […]
