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!

Poncho Song: Can Move Forward With New Pace Tactics and Fairer Track

By Racing Digest | February 20, 2023

A mare who was making her third start off the layoff showed unexpected early speed and was part of a four horse duel up the backstretch. She appeared to be tiring once headed around the far turn while racing on the rail, but she gamely fought back only to be run down by perfect-tripper Carly […] Read More

Devilly: Watch To See If Blinkers Are Removed In Next Start

By Racing Digest | February 20, 2023

She was sporting blinkers for this, she broke slowly and rushed up in the early stages only to be wrangled back by her jock. After watching the head-on view, she might be a filly that is tough to ride and she had early trouble as she was bumped multiple times from both sides in the […] Read More

B C Glory Days: Look for Rider Upgrade For Improvement

By Racing Digest | February 19, 2023

Made a nice little run along the rail around the turn and looked like a win threat entering the stretch. However, the jock just seemed to settle for a minor award as he was not riding that hard in the stretch and just used the whip every 10 strides or so. Look for a rider […] Read More

By Turfdom | February 19, 2023

Three year old filly for Steve Miyadi made her debut in Sunday’s finale, a maiden special weight event at six and a half on the turf coming out of the chute for Cal breds. Off at 5/1 in a field of 11, she was void of any early speed and was well back down the […] Read More

Good as Gone: She Looks Like a Soon Winner

By Turfdom | February 19, 2023

Three year old filly for Steve Knapp tried the first allowance condition on Sunday at ¾ on the main for soph fillies.

Naval Aviator: Can Run All Day With More Patient Ride

By Racing Digest | February 19, 2023

Was slow into stride and settled near the back around the first turn. He made a middle move as they approached the far turn and was right off the two leaders while in between horses. However, he started spinning his wheels around the far turn and looked like he would be up the track. The […] Read More

King Angelo: Strong Rally and Just Missed. Outside Draw May Help In Next

By Racing Digest | February 18, 2023

Runs with his tail straight out and was outrun for the early lead in the first furlong. The veteran didn’t seem comfortable racing behind a wall of horses and that seemed evident as he was shuffled to the back of the pack entering the turn. He did seem to have run entering the stretch, but […] Read More

Luminiferous: Winner Soon if “Papa” Keeps Her in for a Tag

By Turfdom | February 18, 2023

Three year old filly for George Papaprodromou made start #3 on Saturday in quest of her maiden win and for the first time was dropped in for a claiming price. Off at 8/1 in this 8 horse field at a mile on the turf for a $62,500 tag, she sat fifth into the clubhouse turn […] Read More

Bingo John: Nice Brave Effort But Not Ideal Run

By Racing Digest | February 18, 2023

Was pretty brave to finish 3rd in what not an ideal stretch run. The gelding raced on along the rail early and was in the second flight entering the stretch. The leaders began to tire and the jock took him to the rail while he was able to squeeze thru a tight opening in midstretch. […] Read More

Big Venezuela: Returning To Sprints With Off Pace Trip To Improve.

By Racing Digest | February 18, 2023

While the outside is usually the faster part of the track, it is tough as a frontrunner to win with a five wide trip even with no pace pressure. This gelding has now set the pace in his last four dirt routes and the best he could finish was 3rd as he did today. He […] Read More

Falconet: Look for Rider Switch In Order To Improve

By Racing Digest | February 18, 2023

Received a questionable ride as she broke outward but fast and the jock seemed to insist that someone else take the lead. Eventual winner Frost Point did take the lead leaving the chute and it’s not like they were going fast early. Look for a rider switch and/or more aggressive ride on Falconet and maybe […] Read More

Old Pal: Not the Quickest but Can Win at 2 Turns

By Turfdom | February 18, 2023

Three year old colt for Mark Glatt made his debut on Saturday in the opener, a six and a half furlong dash on the green from out of the chute. Off as the 3/5 choice in a field of 8, he broke slowly under J.J. and was dead last for most of the race, trailing […] Read More

Upcoming Race: Laurel Park September 20, 2024 Tap It Up: Rough Trip and Could Rebound

By Racing Digest | February 17, 2023

Had a pretty rough trip from the start as she broke a bit slow then had to steer around runners while steadying repeatedly until entering the turn. From there, she was just never a factor and this may be a race to just toss out. She did have her best finish in her lone start […] Read More

Upcoming Race: Belmont At The Big A September 20, 2024 Fromanothamutha: Dry Track in Next Start Should Move Him Forward

By Racing Digest | February 17, 2023

Is usually a deep closer, but may have been more forwardly-placed due to today’s sloppy conditions. He held his own, though, as he had to steady slightly while trying to make his rally entering the stretch and that likely cost him all of his momentum. Afterwards, he basically raced evenly down the stretch. Should the […] Read More

Queens Masterpiece: Chased Fast Pace with Trouble Can Improve

By Racing Digest | February 17, 2023

Had to chase a fast pace early and was shuffled back to last up the backstretch. Jock had to steer her clear of trouble around the turn and she made a nice little run when she found clear sailing. However, the filly was too far back to threaten for the win, but did run well […] Read More
