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 Mark Glatt made start #2 on Saturday in a maiden special weight event at a flat mile on the main track, 3 and up. Off as the heavy 3/5 choice in a field of just five, he broke OK under Dettori and laid third down the back side, four off […]
Raced with first time blinkers for this and the filly never really looked comfortable until the final furlong when she got up late for 3rd. She was bumped out of the gate and the entire field lined up for the lead a few strides out of the gate. This gal was then wrestled back to […]
Showed marked improvement in start #2 as he tracked the pace in the three-path up the backstretch. He started his rally around the turn with the eventual winner to his outside and was along the rail entering the stretch. He couldn’t match strides late, but this was a much better effort and he did hold […]
Three year old filly for Phil D’Amato found her hole card on Sunday in a Cal bred maiden special weight at one mile on the turf. After showing very little in two dirt sprints, D’Amato stretched her out and put her on the grass and at 14/1, she responded with a strong second place finish. […]
Didn’t have much chance in this affair as he was caught in the five-path up the backstretch behind a dawdling pace. The gelding was spinning his wheels around the far turn and this race might just be a tossout. Look for a stronger pace in his next start along with a more ground-saving trip and […]
This guy showed zero early speed in his first two starts, but he took over the lead leaving the first turn with a three wide move despite a troubled break. Whether this was by design or not, this was a position he was not used to and he had little left as they entered the […]
Four year old gelding for Jeff Mullins made start #2 this year and the 4th start of his career in Sunday’s opener, a maiden special weight event for 3,4, and 5 year olds at ¾ on the turf. Off at 5/1 after getting heavy play right from the start, he broke OK under Vasquez and […]
Broke well, but jock seemed indecisive as to whether go for the lead or settle. He did decide to settle early and was in midpack of eight other runners who were separated by about four lengths up the backstretch. The jock sent him to the outside entering the stretch and he ran on for 3rd […]
Five year old gelding for Steve Miyadi, who had sprinted in his previous six races, stretched out to a mile in Saturday’s finale and was protected in this starter handicap race at a mile on the turf for older runners. Off at 10/1 in a field of 9, he sat a comfortable third down the […]
Was wide throughout in this muddy affair and he could’ve been closer at the finish with a better trip. He made a nice move around the turn and kept trying in the stretch, but he understandably flattened out inside the 16th pole and finished 4th. Also note that when Katie Davis rides, he has finished […]
Three year old gelding for Shelbe Ruis made his debut on Saturday at five and a half on the main for maiden Cal breds, 3,4, and 5 years old. Off at 9/2 in a field of 6, he hesitated at the start, hopped slightly, and was away last. Gutierrez then rushed him up to reach […]
Was hustled out of the gate and was part of a four horse speed duel up the backstretch. He tried to match strides entering the stretch with the eventual winner, but couldn’t. However, he was well clear of the field for 2nd and it seems the gelding is rounding back into form. Next Upcoming Race: […]
Tried her best to keep up with the huge favorite Maple Leaf Mel early, she made a bid entering the stretch and tired late to finish 3rd. She might be at her best when able to track the pace and not press or chase it and maybe she can rebound if able to stay away […]
Likely lost his best chance after the break as he was sandwiched a few strides out and was last early. The jock seemed to give up on him as he was idling around the turn, but he started picking up the pieces late while only being shown the whip in the stretch and might have […]
Looked like a green 2-year-old up the backstretch with his head held up high while dropping back to near the back around the turn under the whip. However, he was steered to the outside entering the stretch and rallied well to finish 2nd behind a runaway winner. The gelding must not like the kickback and […]
