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!
Three year old colt for Bob Baffert, who had not been to the post since April, dropped into a 1st allowance condition race at ¾ on the main in the nightcap on Friday. Off as the wagering favorite at 8/5 in a field of just 7 runners, he broke running under leading rider J.J. and […]
Two year old filly for Len Powell was used way too early in Friday’s opener, as she broke running from the six hole in the Qatar Golden Mile through fast fractions of 22.60 and 45.80 for the half. She put the other speed away turning for home, but had little left when it counted, and […]
Three year old gelding for Dan Blacker made his 4th career start at a mile on the main Sunday for maiden special weights 3 and up. Off at 5/2 in a field of 9, this son of Arrogate went right to the lead from the five hole under Victor Espinoza and made every pole a […]
Three year old filly for George Papaprodromou was in for the 1st allowance condition on Sunday after breaking her maiden impressively over this turf course 3 weeks ago. However, once her regular rider, Umberto Rispoli, took off all of his mounts Sunday, “Papa” didn’t use good judgement in selecting the veteran Jose Valdivia to ride […]
Four year old gelding for Peter Miller, who he just claimed for $80,000 on July 30, was entered right back at the same price on Sunday. Off as the 6/5 choice under the leading rider, he bobbled and went to his knees in this one mile allowance race and lost about 3 lengths at the […]
Four year old filly for Richard Mandella made her 2nd start this year in Saturday’s ninth, a first allowance condition at a mile and a sixteenth on the turf, 3 and up. Off at 4/1 in a field of 9, she broke running under Tiago Pereira and made the lead into the clubhouse turn. She […]
Two year old colt for Tim Yakteen made start #2 on Friday at six and a half on the main for maiden special weights. Off at 7/1 in a field of six and drawing the rail, he broke well under Ray Vasquez and had the lead by the half mile pole. On a track playing […]
A brutal trip for this two year old filly for Doug O’Neill in Friday’s third, a maiden special weight event at a mile on the turf for Cal breds. Off at 5/2 and bet down from a M/L of 6/1, she broke OK under hot riding Fresu from the inside, but then checked into the […]
Two year old filly for Richard Mandella made her debut on Saturday in a maiden special weight allowance at six and a half on the main. Off as the 2nd choice in the wagering at 3/1 off some brilliant works, she was unfortunate to draw the rail for her debut. She bobbled at the start […]
Five year old mare for Steve Knapp, who had been facing Cal bred allowance runners, dropped in for a tag of $16K in the opener on Saturday, which also was a non winners of two, and just blitzed the field. Coming out of the 8 hole in an 8 horse field, on a track still […]
Lightly raced five year old mare for Phil D’Amato, tried stakes company for the first time in her career, and didn’t fare too badly. Off at 7/2 in a field of 9 runners at 11 furlongs on the lawn for fillies and mares in the ungraded CTT/TOC stakes, she settled nicely for Rispoli well off […]
Three year old gelding for Peter Miller, though still a maiden, tried winners on Sunday in a 1st allowance condition at a mile on the turf. Off at 10/1 in a full field of 12, he relaxed early under Tiago Pereira and was a good 10 lengths back of the leaders down the back side. […]
Trainer Val Brinkerhoff has to feel a bit snake bitten as here he is again on the Horses to Watch list off another second. You’ve heard the phrase before, he ran too good to lose, well it definitely applies to this three year old filly, who made her debut in race three on Sunday. Off […]
The name doesn’t fit just yet of this two year old colt for Val Brinkerhoff, who is still a maiden after two starts. But he does have two good seconds and ran into a buzz saw on Saturday in this maiden special weight event at five and a half on the main. Off at 9/1 […]
Three year old filly for George Papaprodromou made her first start stateside on Saturday in a maiden allowance for 3 and up at a mile and a sixteenth on the turf for fillies and mares. Off at 9/2 and bet down from a morning line of 12/1, she hopped at the start under Rispoli and […]
