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!
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
May have found a new home on the turf as he seemed to race much better with the surface switch. While he raced in midpack throughout, he seemed to give it his best in the stretch and didn’t seem to lose a lot of ground. The gelding has a long stride and may be more […]
Comebacker was a victim of the “Ortiz drift” in the stretch and this may have cost him the race. There was clear sailing in between horses, before Ortiz drifted out causing Kuchar to steady a bit in midstretch. The jock was going to go in between horses once again, but the gap closed and he […]
Didn’t break the best and was caught four wide up the backstretch while tracking four others in front of her. She made a big move around the turn, but couldn’t keep up in the final furlong. A better trip and better break can only help her chances next time. Next Upcoming Race: Alpine […]
Is usually forwardly-placed, but was allowed to trail the field up the backstretch. She began her rally entering the stretch and looked like she had a shot at the win in midstretch, but flattened out late to finish 4th. Expect her to show more early speed and possibly move forward next time out. Next Upcoming […]
Made his local debut after three starts in Florida and received a tracking trip up the backstretch. He loomed a bold threat on the far outside entering the stretch and was lightly-bumped as well. Jock had to hold him in the stretch as he kept trying to lug in and the jock just basically took […]
Showed a lot more early speed today in what may have been an experiment for his new barn. The gelding was four deep in a five horse battle for the lead up the backstretch. He took over the lead around the turn and was in between horses throughout the stretch. He was keeping up with […]
Three year old colt for Tim Yakteen tried two turns for the first time in his 6th career start and he passed the test with flying colors in the Pasadena stakes on Sunday at a mile on the turf for sophomores. Off as the heavy 3/10 choice in a field of just four, he lagged […]
Three year old gelding for Peter Miller made his 1st start around two turns and his sixth career start in Sunday’s opener, a mile on the turf for non winners twice starter allowance race. Off at 5/1 in a field of six reduced by two late scratches, he broke well under J.J. and tracked the […]
Entered this in poor form, but the blinkers were removed for this and he set the early pace. He was hooked up with a rival around the turn and fought on gamely in the stretch along the rail in a three horse driving finish at the wire. The gelding held 3rd and he may be […]
