7/31 (Sat) - Jim Dandy Comments In a short field of 6 horses, Essential Quality (Belmont Stakes winner) is favored at 1-2 odds. EQ will be ridden by Luis Saez and is trained by Brad Cox. The question is: Will EQ win easily, or will it be closer than what we think? If EQ wins the race, personally, I can't see any other horse coming in second except Masqueparade, Weyburn, or Keepmeinmind! Time will tell. :-)
7/18 (Sun) - Diana Race Comments It was pretty tough for me to go against Chad Brown's Lemista yesterday in the Diana Handicap; especially because it would have been Chad's seventh Diana win, had he won the race. As predicted, it was too much competition for Lemista that he finished last. I actually debated about using Summer Romance for third, but, considering that Lemista lost to Harvey's Lil Goil by less than a length only, I had to select Lemista for at least third. It was disappointing with Harvey's Lil Goil, but I did use both Althiqua and Harvey in exactas and triples with all horses that I listed. For the triple, I used all horses for third. Without the favorite, I thought the prices would be a little higher, but, it's just the way the calculations work! The Great Britain horse, Althiqua, ran heck of a race and finished strong! Luis Saez gave Summer Romance a very nice ride; almost won. In the past, some of the very good horses from Europe didn't do as well in United States. This win is a good start! :-)
7/17 (Sat) - Opening Day Comments Opening day of Saratoga was a GRAND success! It was SO nice to see the sun out (after a very long time) and it definitely cheered up everyone and made it a tremendous atmosphere! Horse racing fans were indeed thrilled to be back and we ALL had a fabulous time! And, it's just the beginning! :-)
7/15 (Thurs) - Saratoga opens today! We all have something to cheer about regarding the first day of racing at one of the most prestigious and historic racetracks in the world! Due to the pandemic, horse racing fans weren't allowed to attend horse races last year. Now, we are TWICE as eager to attend the racetrack and are ready to make up for the lost time! Most likely, attendance will be much higher this racing season. Enjoy your time with family and friends & making bets & having fun in the process! May you have a winning season! :-)
7/9 (Fri) - A most thrilling Saratoga season is just days away! As we all know, year 2020 was one of the toughest and craziest years that we have ever faced. Personally, I haven't missed the Opening day of Saratoga for more than 25 years. Unfortunately, mine and lot of other horse racing fans' streaks were broken last year with horse racing fans not being allowed to go to the racetrack to watch horses run in person. The good news is that, in New York State, we are in a much better position to start looking at life more positively and start enjoying life a bit more! Well, the timing couldn't be more perfect! Another brand new season of SARATOGA RACING is underway starting July 15th (Thurs). It makes sense that we're going to make up for lost time and start CELEBRATING the Saratoga season that much more! WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A GREAT SUCCESS! Go live it up and have ALL the fun!
Note: Keep an eye on my website. Lot more stuff will be posted including BEST BET of the day (besides my book) and my analysis (see below) and comments on major races! :-)
6/6 (Sun) - Post-Belmont Stakes Comments: What an amazing Belmont Stakes race it was! Winning a 1-1/2 mile race was no easy task and it took a lot of guts and determination for Essential Quality to edge out Hot Rod Charlie and to win the third leg of the Triple Crown! After that 'quality' performance, EQ definitely deserved the win! Huge credit also goes to Luis Saez who dedicated the race to his brother! After the major Maximum Security debacle in the Kentucky Derby race last year, nobody could take THIS win away from Luis Saez THIS time! He gave a tremendous ride! Congrats to trainer Brad Cox and the winning connections also. Having won the Belmont Stakes in prior years, it's absolutely rare to see Todd Pletcher NOT coming in the money with any of his three entries: Known Agenda, Bourbonic, and Overtook. With his major speed, Rock Your World would have had to be at the TOP of his game to win the Belmont Stakes. Unfortunately, he wasn't anywhere close. I thought Bourbonic may do something as a closer, but off the pace held up well. It was a speed favoring track on Saturday in anyways. France Go de Ina should have never been in the race....after losing badly in the Preakness. Why would you even attempt a much longer race without much rest from the Preakness? Rombauer did well and finished third, considering!
6/6 (Sun) - Medina Spirit and Bob Baffert ordeal Considering that Medina Spirit's second test proved to be a failure, it will be interesting if Medina Spirit will be disqualified (soon), and if Mandaloun will be declared the official 2021 Kentucky Derby winner. Time will tell. Meanwhile, Bob Baffert is banned from Churchill Downs for the next two years.

6/4 (Fri) - One more day to go for Belmont Stakes! It is great to see 9 action-packed Graded Stakes races! Plus, with horse racing fans being allowed to attend racetracks in full capacity, everyone will have a BLAST and there will be a LOT of celebrations! Belmont Stakes will be a very exciting race to watch!!! May the BEST horse win! :-)
5/21 (Fri) - Pre-Belmont Stakes Comments: It is great to see that the top Derby horses will most likely be competing in the Belmont Stakes. They include Essential Quality, Hot Rod Charlie, Rock Your World, Midnight Bourbon, and Known Agenda. It helps that these horses (except Midnight Bourbon) are getting a 5-week rest. With New York Racing Association (NYRA) having banned Bob Baffert at Belmont and Saratoga, I'm also glad to see that the Bob Baffert controversy won't be impacted in this race. The world is also waiting on what details come out of Medina Spirit's second drug test ordeal from the Derby race. A lot is at stake including the possibility of Mandaloun being declared the 2021 Kentucky Derby winner. It is critical that that stricter rules MUST be set so that the horse racing industry won't be tarnished in the future. Bettors' monies (millions of dollars) are ON THE LINE that we can't afford to have any more controversies. If so, bettors will lose interest in the game and it will be more difficult to earn their trust and return to their favorite national pastime.
