If we could change one and only one event from this weekend, it would be to never open the latch for Joevia in the Wood Memorial. Nik Juarez should get multiple weeks for that reckless ride. His...

The field size question was the big one in my mind before reading the article and was not surprised to see it mentioned. With this year's Derby, if Justify wins I lose.

This weekend, NYRABets is having a $20 win bet rebate on the Pegasus World Cup if your horse finishes second. To me, this makes Arrogate an automatic play.

Interesting perspective as I did not project this race to be as strung out on the front end. On first glance, I could not see all three of Velazquez, Castellano, and Ortiz making this easy for the...

We've talked about how the draw will impact California Chrome, but I have also been thinking about Arrogate's draw.

Well, look at this outcome. Can Chrome be any better than four or five wide in that first turn if pressing towards the top? Alternatively, can the horse close from ten lengths off the pace if they...
