When the local horse track is closed for the season, you have to look elsewhere for horse racing action. In the winter months, the only US tracks that are open are in the southern half of the country. On the weekends you can always find a large track that is open. But on a weekday, […]

Canterbury Park’s 2015 live horse racing season came to a close yesterday (Sept. 12, 2015). This year, I decided to keep track of my wins and losses, so that I could measure my wagering performance. It is now time to look back on the season to see how I did. I visited the race track […]

Since I haven’t posted here in a while, I thought it would be good to recap my 2014 horse wagering season. They are just past the halfway mark at Canterbury Park here in Minnesota and I’ve been to the track about a dozen times. I can only recall about three times where I left with more money than […]

It seems like the more time I spend handicapping a race, the less likely I am to win any of the wagers I place on that race. Lately, it seems like more long shots are coming in and ruining all of the research that I’ve done. The fastest horse with the best record and best […]

My new favorite bet is the 10 cent superfecta box. Picking the top four horses out of a group of six or eight is a challenge that can payoff quite well. The cost for this wager is $2.40, not much more than a $2 win bet. Sometimes I will bump up the wager to 50 […]

For the 2013 horse racing I set up an online wagering account at Canterbury Park. I’m using a Samsung galaxy tablet with a 7 inch screen. It only works over wifi when you are at the track, but it sure makes placing bets easier. I found that it works better in some locations than others. […]

On November 3rd the 2012 Breeder’s Cup horse races were held at the Santa Anita track in CA. The Breeder’s Cup brings out the best of the best horses, Jockeys, and trainers from around the world. We went to Canterbury Park to watch the simulcast and wager on the last 6 races. I’ve never been to […]

The 2012 horse racing season is almost at a close here in Minnesota. On Friday night, my girlfriend and I went to the track to test our horse picking skills. We don’t usually go to night sessions, which run from 7pm to 10:45 pm, but decided to see what it was like under the lights. […]
