By Ray Wallin Recently a reader emailed me a question. Scatterbrained Scott wanted to know how to get more time to handicap and how to use that time efficiently. This is a problem that I know I lot of part-time horseplayers suffer from.

It can be hard to devote our full attention to handicapping the races with so many other responsibilities in our busy lives, but there are ways you can make the most The post Time is on Your Side: 5 Tips for Less Doing, More Handicapping appeared first on Daily Racing News | Horse Racing News.

October 19, 2021 (16:15) [ Indexed from Daily Racing News ]
By Mike Farrell Jim McKay, the legendary host of ABCs Wide World of Sports and a lover of thoroughbred racing, returned from the inaugural Breeders Cup in 1984 with a thought that would not let him rest. Why couldnt his beloved Maryland racing industry stage its own equivalent of the Breeders Cup for horses bred in the state? From McKays vision and dedication sprang a new series in 1986"Maryland Million Day. That great tradition continues Saturday at Laurel Park with a 12-race card topped by the $150,000 Classic.

By Ed McNamara Starting in 1984, the Breeders’ Cup has saved its best for last: 3-year-olds and older horses going 1 1/4 miles in the megabucks Classic, the season’s grand finale.

NFL Odds, Picks for Week 6: Grudens Gone; Look for Bridgewater, Broncos to Repel Raiders
October 13, 2021 (19:45) [ Indexed from Daily Racing News ]
By Ira Kaufman The NFL’s home-field advantage has been shrinking for a while and Week 6 offers a graphic example. Of the 13 games on the schedule being played in U.S. stadiums, eight road teams are favored, many by extravagant margins. The Bucs kick off the trend Thursday evening in Philly, where the defending NFL champs are 7-point favorites " even though Tom Brady is nursing an injured right thumb. This is an intriguing matchup. Tampa Bay is a road team on a short week and the Eagles may have salvaged their season with a comeback victory in Charlotte.

Betting on Frontrunners: Know Before You Go
October 13, 2021 (16:30) [ Indexed from Daily Racing News ]
By Ray Wallin Ask almost any handicapper about what pace style they think has an edge at the track and you will get the same answer: Early speed As handicappers we frame our reference of track bias on whether it is favoring early speed horses, not closers or off the pace runners. There are countless books and articles written on the subject but very few on stalkers and closers. Why? Early speed either wins or dictates the outcome of a race. Deciphering the pace of the race is a little bit of art and science. You can look at the The post Betting on Frontrunners: Know Before You Go appeared first on Daily Racing News | Horse Racing News.

Keeneland: Rattle N Roll Shakes Off Rivals to Win Breeders Futurity
October 09, 2021 (23:15) [ Indexed from Daily Racing News ]
By Ed McNamara Rattle N Roll struggled in his first two starts, getting off slowly when third in his debut and bolting on the second turn before being pulled up in his second race. He put it all together in his next start, surging late to break his maiden by three lengths last month at Churchill Downs. The best was yet to come Saturday. The previously erratic colt dominated the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland Racecourse, sweeping four wide into the stretch and bursting clear for a five-length win over another closer, Todd Pletcher’s Double Thunder.

On Racing: Let Bafferts Horses Run in Breeders Cup

By Richard Rosenblatt For those wondering, and even for those fed up with his medication violation explanations, Hall of Famer Bob Baffert is still training, still winning, and still saddling many of the stars in the sport. While the racing world awaits the long-overdue decision from the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) whether Bafferts record-setting seventh Derby winner Medina Spirit will be disqualified for a post-race positive of a prohibited race day medication, theres the more immediate question: Will he or wont he be permitted to run horses in the Breeders Cup?

A Horse Named Little Enis Almost Lived Up To His Namesake

By Maryjean Wall Somewhere in Rockabilly Heaven, the All-American Left-Handed Upside-Down Guitar Player, Little Enis (rhymes with p—-) must be stomping all over his electric GUItar, mad as hell for dying too soon and missing out on the Breeders Cup. We are referring here to the person, not his namesake horse. But come to think of it, if Little Enis the horse had only run fast enough to get out of River Downs, he might have run in one of the Cup races. Dreams are made of this stuff.

Eddie Macs Book (Part I): Final Blitz to Breeders Cup Begins at Keeneland
October 06, 2021 (21:45) [ Indexed from Daily Racing News ]
By Ed McNamara I always look forward to the Keeneland fall meeting, which begins Friday and runs through Oct. 30. Like its April counterpart, it lives up to the track’s slogan, Racing As It Was Meant To Be. The spring meet reminds you the Triple Crown and summer are just down the road. What the autumn meet offers is different and, to me, even more enjoyable. I’ve always thought the best time to handicap was from Labor Day through the Breeders’ Cup.

Make Short Term Memory Work for Your Handicapping

By Ray Wallin Are you that person who cant remember what your spouse asked you to get from the store? Did you forget what you had for breakfast by mid-morning? Did you already forget why you clicked the link to this article. It is not surprising since chimpanzees, our distant primate relatives, forget an event after about 20 seconds. Even mans best friend forgets things after about two minutes. Are you surprised that you cant remember what your wife asked you to get her from the kitchen?
