For many horseplayers and handicappers, the winter racing season that approaches means a lot of focus on Flordia and Southern California racing is soon to come as the best racing of the season migrates away from cold weather places. However, there’s at least one cold weather place where racing continues going strong all through the fall and winter, and it’s a place that handicappers should not overlook – Aqueduct.

Even if you are the type of winter horseplayer who prefers to play the “big winter meets” at this upcoming time of year, Aqueduct offers excellent betting opportunities for winter racing horseplayers,…

WEST COAST INVADER, BOB BAFFERT, AMERICAN PHAROAH LEGACY JUST ONE OF MANY BREEDERS CUP JUVENILE STORIES

When the 2018 Breeders Cup opens up on Friday, November 2 it will be run at Churchill Downs for the first time since 2011.

This is no small note for Breeders Cup bettors because over the course of the last 6 years the Cup races have been run in Southern California for 5 of the last 6 years. From 2012 to 2014 they were contested at Santa Anita, ventured to Keeneland in 2015, returned to Santa Anita in…

In just a short period of time this high profile meet matches the best horses, trainers and jockeys anywhere in the nation.

TIPS FOR WINNING AT THE KEENELAND FALL MEET

Top class racing returns to Kentucky this week as Keeneland's annual fall season gets ready to open for its three-week, 17-race day, boutique meet from Friday, Oct. 5 to Saturday, Oct. 27.  The meet will attract big fields, good horses, and a load of top jockeys and trainers befitting the world epicenter of Thoroughbred horseracing in Lexington, Kentucky.

Since Keeneland's fall meet is only three weeks long and the meet's stakes are front-loaded so they can be Breeders' Cup prep races, the time is now for handicappers to start brushing up on some of…

There are many categories of handicapping angles in play at this time of year in New York as summer turns to fall. Horses and horsemen who spent summer far and wide, not only at Saratoga but also at Monmouth and other tracks in the mid-Atlantic region, all return to Belmont for the Fall Championship Meet, which continues the East's highest-quality racing and wagering throughout this season until the end of October.

While it is impossible to mention every Belmont fall handicapping angle in one article, we can focus on some of the best, most effective, and perhaps the most overlooked angles…

When key 3-year old Stakes races are discussed it isn’t often that past graduates of the Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby are recollected. And once again in 2018 the race is unlikely before, and after, to get the attention it deserves.

Part of that is due to the time of the season. The Triple Crown is long past, the Haskell has been run, the Travers has had its showcase and even scant interest in possible emerging runners from the Indiana Derby and Ohio Derby has come and gone

There is also an absence of big names. Justify is already getting some pointers from…
