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!

All Horses To Watch
Set the pace in his last start, but was allowed to track the leaders in this spot. He likely gained a lot of experience points as he was firmly held by the jock for the first three furlongs while seemingly full of run. Entering the stretch, he still had to wait for clear sailing, but […] Read More
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

Off at 4/1 in just a five horse field after two late scratches, she broke running from the outside under Ricky Gonzales and laid third down the back side. She started to move […] Read More

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
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
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

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
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
Not a bad debut as she broke on top and raced outside of a three horse duel up the backstretch. She made a run for the lead entering the stretch, but tired in the late stages to finish midpack. Conditioning can only help this filly and she might not stop next time out. Next Upcoming […] Read More
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
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
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
