Happy 502's Day & National Blueberry Pie Day!🥧 After a day off, Churchill Downs continues the countdown to the Kentucky Oaks and Derby. We’re back on the track and excited to have some early‑week action for you with a solid nine‑race card to ease us into the week. On Sunday, we did better than we did on Saturday—though that’s not saying much—and we’re still not where we want to be, so we’re getting our reps in right along with you. Sunday’s card had us find 4 of 9 top-pick w

Happy Sunday & National Help a Horse Day! We told you the goal was to get as many races in as possible to get you and us ready for the Kentucky Oaks on Friday and the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, so we’re back with a nine-race card at Churchill Downs today. Yesterday was a little rough for us, as we only hit two top-pick winners and four more second-pick winners, but our best bet did win, so that’s a positive. If we’d followed our tracking of $2 win bets on both the top pick a

Happy Saturday & National Zucchini Bread Day! We’re excited to be celebrating opening day of the Churchill Downs spring meet, which means we’re just one week away from the Run for the Roses!

Today’s opening-day card features 10 races, including one stakes race,

Happy Saturday & National Cheese Fondue Day! 🧀 We’re in a bit of a “slow” period for horse racing, even as anticipation for the 152nd Kentucky Derby continues to build. The final prep race of the season is today, but none of the runners can crack into the current top 20. So, we decided to head back to one of our favorite tracks in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and play the ponies at Oaklawn Racecourse. Oaklawn is home to four Derby prep races and three Oaks prep races, making it a

Happy Saturday & National Flapjack Day 🥞! We are back on the Kentucky Derby prep trail today with a huge day of racing from Tampa Bay Downs.

We will have coverage later today over on X of the late Pick 4, which includes another prep race. Back to the early action: we have a full card at Tampa

Happy Saturday & National Sticky Bun Day! We are back at Turfway Park with a full card of great racing, and the road to the Kentucky Derby continues today.

We did not have the best night: only two top-pick winners, and we missed the Oaks prep winner last night, so we’re looking to rebound. Today’

Happy Valentine's Day & National Organ Donor Day! ❤️ We took a few weeks off from full cards as we had multiple prep races to handicap and felt it was best to put more effort into those. However, with this loaded card today from Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, LA, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to cap the whole thing. This is the first major Derby and Oaks prep where the winner could be in the starting gate in May even if they don’t run another prep. While it’s
