I'm going to try to soften the message here.

Bob and I clearly have differing opinions on what types of horses we look to play. That's perfectly fine, and there's more than one way to succeed at...

I'm not big on posting selections in advance. I feel playing the horses is not about picking winners, and I don't want to get caught up in trying to do so (I realize that sounds like something that...

Keep these coming, these are interesting. I see he refers to the "2 move" horse as a "trainer" power play. Is he saying that a 2 move effort is more relevant for a particular type of trainer, or...

You're right. I was trying to read the horse's boxscore for the current and previous year, and I thought it said 1962 and 1963. But the horse's sire is True Duane, who raced in the 60s. And a...

LOL. I get your point, but the pools were already sufficiently large so that the pick 4 carries over what, maybe 3 times a year? And if its the early pool that carries over, they only have about 20...

The pink screenshot in the example is from 1963. The driver (Veral Bowman) is still active!

Many of us (horse racing fans) hated NBC's coverage last year, but the ratings were very good. So NBC isn't a bunch of idiots, and I'm all for trying to attract non-racing fans to racing, rather...

2:15 is excellent, well ahead of schedule at this time of year. Not trying to be nosy, but what state was your trotter bred in? Many of the sire stakes programs offer real good money, and sometimes...

NBC's Derby coverage even harder for horseplayers to watch this year

They have added Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir as "fashion correspondents". Maybe the non-racing fan public will like it, but I can't take it, myself.

Makes sense to me. I read right past the word "basic" in your previous post.

I see the Tri-Super jackpot stands at 11.25 at Bluffs Run - you've gotta give us the 4-1-1 on those races!!! Lets...

I tend to agree with Gareth Dowse's take that...

Not part of the pick 5, but in R7 I think Prairie Jaguar is rather generously classified in B-2, and I doubt he will be anywhere 10-1. Should be able to roll on the front end (not really Marohn's...

Think he is referring to the entry that is currently #70, pushed down a notch when someone else signed up. That is funny. Maybe I should sign up as "WheresJosh".

Thanks for the headsup.

Last night's pool was 45,210 and they paid out 19,213.40 to winning ticket holders, give or take a few pennies. The mix of Canadian money with American money muddies things a bit.

I would assume that if no one takes down the pool, it will be paid out on Woodbine's closing night, which is 5/19.

The pool was 36,000 last Thursday night, so its tough to scoop it. Not...
