By Warren Eves Over the years I’ve learned not to get too high on any equine runner. It’s a recipe for disappointment. If you wageer? It can put a hurt on your bankroll. Those “nuggets” horseplayers and horsemen seek every day are hard to find. Keeping [...]

By Warren Eves The 37-day Fall Championship meet at Belmont Park started off with a bang. In the first race of the day on September 8 a colt named Tizracer improved eons–taking a one-turn mile by 10-1/2 while well in hand. Reports have it the Tiznow [...]

By Warren Eves D. Wayne Lukas ended a winless streak with a bang Saturday, August 6th. The man who used to be in the Triple Crown forefront every year won with a promising juvenile named Optimizer. Bluegrass Hall’s English Channel colt impressed. He scored in a not so ordinary maiden special weight race [...]

By Warren Eves Creative Cause may be a colt of substance. Subscribers to this site’s “Horses To Watch” list have reason to be skeptical these days. Impressive maiden winners, simply stated, have not done well when they have made our list this season. Saturday a [...]

By Warren Eves Rinella Bay could be a filly of substance. The grey sophomore daughter of Roman Ruler showed an affinity for dirt when she roared home to win going long at Parx on Saturday, July 9th. Timber Bay Farm’s filly kicked home with a [...]
