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 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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Three year old colt for Neil Drysdale made her debut on Sunday at ¾ on the turf in a maiden special weight event. Off at 7/1 in a field of 10, she was void of any early speed and was last down the back side, 9 lengths off the pace. Aguilar kept her on the […]
Three year old filly for Jeff Mullins tried the Sweet Life stakes on Saturday at six and a half down the hill for soph fillies. Off at 17/1 in a field of 11, she broke a step slow under Berrios and was last early. The jock kept her on the fence throughout, found a seam […]
Another D’Amato veteran here, a six year old gelding off since November, and recently transferred into this barn, faced 7 in a 1st allowance condition at a mile on the grass Saturday. Off at 11/1, he broke well under Dettori and sat 4th into the clubhouse turn just 3 back of the leaders. The jock […]
Eight year old full horse for D’Amato is aptly named being bred south of the equator in Argentina. Having not raced since June, he surfaced in a good spot in a $50,000 claimer Saturday for older runners at six and a half on the turf coming out of the chute. Bet down to 9/5 in […]
Three year old filly for Mike McCarthy made her debut in Sunday’s opener, a six and a half furlong sprint for maiden special weights on the main. Off at 4/1 and having to break from the rail, she was hustled to the front by Johnny V. and set fast fractions of 21.64 and 44.87 for […]
Four year old filly for Jeff Mullins came off a brief freshening on Saturday, got a rider upgrade to Berrios, and showed improved early speed that developed into a sharp victory. Off at 3/1 in a field of 9 in this first allowance condition sprint on the grass, she broke sharply from the inside and […]
Three year old colt for Richard Mandella made his debut on Sunday in a maiden special weight event at ¾ on the main. Off at 6/1 with the slumping Flavien Prat, he made every pole a winning one drawing off by four at the wire after fractions of 22 flat and 44.62. He shut the […]
Five year old mare for Mike McCarthy tried two turns for the 1st time in her 7 race career on Saturday in a 1st allowance condition event at a mile on the lawn. Off at 5/1 in a field of 11, she set blazing fractions of 22.52 and 45.49 for the half and opened up […]
