  • Race to the Derby
    RACE TO THE DERBY Welcome to our annual “Race to the Derby” Fantasy Horse Racing contest at the Pleasanton Off-Track Betting facility! The contest is all about building a fantasy stable of 3-year-old horses and following them through the pursuit of making the Kentucky Derby. The first race of our contest is Saturday, January 7 and it concludes with the running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 6. THE DEADLINE TO ENTER IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3!!!!! Our scoring system will follow the structure for the Road to the Kentucky Derby prep series again this year, with one exception. The UAE Derby is worth 50-20-10-5 points this year, rather than the inflated value the Derby committee awards for the race. Here’s how you play the contest. To start, pick any 10, 3-year-old horses (as of Jan. 1) for your beginning stable. Points are earned by how the horses finish in the string of races throughout the Derby prep season. The first four finishers in each prep race earn points for their owners. The points are the same used to determine the field for the Kentucky Derby. You can make six drops/additions along the way, but you will only get those six so use them wisely. At the end of the Kentucky Derby the final standings will be determined! You must enter at the Pleasanton OTB facility. Adds/drops can be made via e-mail or in person at the OTB. Send any questions to [email protected]. The cutoff to enter the contest is February 3!!!! Get your entry in earlier and have some fun! One entry per person and must show ID when entering.

The victories included a win by Gulf Coast (Union Rags) in the Cash Run S. at Gulfstream. "It's nice to get of to such a great start and we are very excited for 2021," said WinStar CEO and President Elliott Walden. "To be two-for-two is great for our owners." The WinStar racing partnership is an offshoot of WinStar Stablemates, a club formed in 2011 that allowed members inside access to all things WinStar. Hoping to attract new owners into the business, WinStar branched out and started WinStar Stablemates Racing in 2018.

  • Frank “Pancho” Martin, Trainer of Sham, Dead at 86
    FRANK “PANCHO” MARTIN, TRAINER OF SHAM, DEAD AT 86 SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Hall of Fame trainer Frank “Pancho” Martin, who dominated The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) circuit during the 1970’s and early 1980’s, died Wednesday night at his home in Garden City, N.Y., following a brief illness. He was 86. Best known as the trainer of Sham, who finished second to Secretariat in the 1973 Kentucky Derby and Preakness, Martin first topped the trainer standings in New York in 1971 with 106 winners and then was invincible on the circuit for 10 straight years from 1973-82. Although not as active in recent years, in 2012, Martin saddled 77 starters, finishing second five times and third twice. During a career that spanned more than 60 years, he saddled 3,240 winners of more than $47.5 million, according to Equibase statistics, including champions Autobiography, who won the Eclipse Award as the nation’s Top Older Horse in 1972; Outstandingly, 1984’s Top 2-Year-Old Filly, and Sham, who won the 1973 Santa Anita Derby and battled Secretariat through all three legs of the Triple Crown. “His favorite horse was Sham,” said Martin’s son, Greg. “He always loved Sham.” Born in Cuba in 1925, Martin grew up in Havana two blocks from Oriental Park Racetrack, where he began his career as a hotwalker. “The only things to do were to … go to work on the track or play baseball,” he once said. “I was a lousy ballplayer.” After leaving Cuba in 1947, Martin moved to the United States in 1949 and settled in New York in 1951.
