At long last, the actual race-by-race analysis is here. Today we’ll examine the Friday races. First up, the Filly & Mare Sprint: Post Horse Trainer Jockey Odds 1 Miss Macy Sue Kelly Von Hemel Eusebio Razo Jr. 6-1 2 Miraculous Miss Steve Klesaris Jeremy Rose 15-1 3 Dream Rush Richard Violette Jr. Eibar Coa 2-1 […] After yesterday’s musical interlude, you’re no doubt waiting expectantly for a full race-by-race analysis. Well, with today being my last day at Penn Vet, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer. But don’t despair, today brings you some of my (hopefully) live longshots for each race.

However, this year they have […] I got a letter yesterday informing me that extra Breeders’ Cup tickets are on sale if you act now — applications must be in before September 1st, after which point, the seats will become available to “the general public” (horrors!). So I’m curious to know whether this means they simply held a large block of […] |
