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. If you are reading this thinking, “Wait, I thought they covered all the prep races—there is another one from Santa Anita later. Why only Tampa Bay?”—you are in luck and you are correct. 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’ve noted that our rankings do not seem to fit well with this track, and we typically stay away, but we couldn’t resist playing the full card with so much going on in Florence, KY.

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

Happy Saturday & National Sangria Day! 🍹🍓 As Paul Rudd said in Forgetting Sarah Marshall , “Oh, the weather outside is weather,” so why not head to the track with us and play the ponies from Fair Grounds in New Orleans, LA? That’s right, the Derby and Oaks prep trail heads to the bayou today—and so do we—as we’ve put our Lundin Line top-rated picks together for the full card, which features 12 total races and four stakes races, along with the prep races.

Happy Saturday & National Day of the Horse 🐴 Did you know the Kentucky Derby is only 20 weeks away!? It may seem like a long time, but 20 weeks ago was July 25th, and you thought the Los Alamitos Futurity was so far away. Now we head to the track in So Cal, to Los Alamitos Thoroughbred Track, to play the ponies and hand out more Kentucky Derby points to the top horses. Last week we started off hot with three winners to kick off the card, but then cooled off and ended with fi
