Breeders’ Cup Friday – Nov. 2, 2018

Posted on November 2, 2018 by turfcapper

Interesting how they have split the card this year with all the two year old races today.  I don’t love betting the 2-year olds, with limited form to go off of, it’s not my strongest angle, but of course, I’m … Continue reading →

Swing Harder – A Summer Recap

Posted on September 9, 2018 by turfcapper

This year was clearly the most locked in I have ever been on my handicapping, and on Saratoga and Del Mar in particular. My betting at Saratoga was not memorable from a total ROI perspective, but actually illustrated a number … Continue reading →

Football is Back

Posted on September 6, 2018 by turfcapper
