Horses To Watch
Our exclusive free list of horses that can improve greatly in their next starts while likely being overlooked by the betting public. Often times when horses run into trouble in a horse race they tend to improve their figures in their next starts. Since most of the betting public is some version of traditional past performances to handicap the trouble the horse experienced in the race may not be reflected in the points of call or position throughout the race. Learning to "read between the lines" and understanding the true reason a horse may not have performed well in a race can pay huge dividends at the betting window. The Horses To Watch List can help guide you in learning to read between the lines and uncover those overlooked bombs that payout big!
Made her first start in blinkers and is usually forwardly-placed. However, she was last early and that hasn’t been the place to be sprinting over this turf course. She did make up solid ground around the turn and did get up for 4th. A clean break and a better placing early could help her move […] Read More
Was pulling on the jock entering the first turn, then got rank around the turn and stumbled nearly losing the rider around the first turn. Understandably, the jock seemed to see if he was OK as he was high in the saddle up the backstretch. The soph didn’t seem any worse for wear as he […] Read More
Made her 2023 debut with first time blinkers and likely lost all chance at the start. She hopped a bit out of the gate, then was bumped on the left two strides out of the gate and then bumped to the right a stride later and was last entering the first turn. The turf course […] Read More
Broke slowly, but he is a deep closer so that didn’t seem to hurt his chances. The pace helped his chances, though, as he was making up ground around the far turn. However, he wasn’t aggressively ridden in the stretch with little traffic and just ran evenly. D. Davis rode him to a victory in […] Read More
Made her return in a small field and was asked for more early speed than usual as she sat just two lengths behind the leader up the backstretch. She didn’t seem to hit her best stride until right before the wire and a more patient ride might help her chances next time out. Next Upcoming […] Read More
Was rank once again and a stumble at the break didn’t help. While no match for the winner in the stretch, she did outfinish two others in the stretch to finish a distant 2nd. If able to relax early, she could have more run in the late stages. Next Upcoming Race: Wishing On […] Read More
Many will likely look at how Equal Protection had nowhere to run in early stretch as the 6/5 favorite, but ‘Honor had a similar trip. He seemed to be spinning his wheels around the far turn, but had to wait behind runners in early stretch and rallied well in tight quarters throughout the rest of […] Read More
Was asked a tough question in her first start as a winner going from NY-bred $25,000 Maiden-Claimer to NY-bred NW1 Allowance, but didn’t run badly at all. She was in the five path up the backstretch and around the turn and she challenged the leader entering the stretch. The soph couldn’t compete in the late […] Read More
Three year old colt for Mark Glatt might have found his hole card on Sunday when he tried the hill for the 1st time in the John Shear stakes for sophomores. Off at 4/1 in a field of 8 and a race loaded with early speed, he sat 4th early under Mike Smith and was […] Read More
Three year old filly for Doug O’Neill made start #3 in the Evening Jewel stakes on Saturday for Cal bred soph fillies at six and a half on the main. Off at 3/10 in a field of just five, she broke running under J.J. from the five hole and she sizzled through the opening quarter, […] Read More
Three year old filly for Richard Mandella tried the Grade 2 Santa Anita Oaks in just her 3rd career start on Saturday. Coming off an impressive 16 length win in breaking her maiden, she was sent off at 5/1 in a field of 8 in this mile and a sixteenth race for soph fillies. She […] Read More
Comebacker just never seemed comfortable while racing along the rail up the backstretch with a tracking trip. He tried to make a run midway around the turn, but lacked a punch in the stretch. The colt may have needed the race as well and maybe a midpack trip with clear sailing will help him move […] Read More
First time turfer had a rough trip from the start as she was pulled back to near the back out of the gate and then she had a tough time handling the first turn as she pulled on the jock and went a bit wide. She was still under a hold while widest of all […] Read More
Second-timer was asked a lot in a Stakes race and hopping and bumping at the break didn’t help. He forced the pace up the backstretch and held his own dueling with two others around the turn along the rail. He tried gamely to go with the eventual winner in the stretch, but tired very late […] Read More
Comebacking second-timer broke well and was up close out of the gate, but the jock wrestled her back and she was under a stout hold up the backstretch while in midpack. She was a bit rank around the turn as well and never got going late. She might need an aggressive ride next time out […] Read More
