  • Overview Friday
    OVERVIEW This year’s Breeders’ Cup races are at Santa Anita in southern California. The highlight may be the showdown between the highest earning horse in American history, California Chrome, and Arrogate who ran one of the fast races ever in winning the Travers in the BC Classic. But Friday’s Distaff is pretty exciting also with unbeaten three year old Songbird facing Beholder and Stellar Wind. There’s also the Mile on Saturday in which superstar filly Tepin tries to beat males for the second year in a row. The Turf, also on Saturday, has the filly that won the prestigious Arc in Paris last month facing top males including some pretty good ones from America. I’m going to list my top contenders, in order, for each race. The horses listed are the ones I think have a strong shot of winning. In many cases the best bet may not be the top horse. Longshots win in the BC all the time and its worth going after a few price plays. My preferred wagers are daily doubles and pick threes in which I advise using all of my listed horses in each race. These picks are made before any races are run. I will be flexible and so should you. If one trainer’s horses are over- or under-achieving, move the rest up or down. If the track seems to be biased toward a particular running style that has to be factored in as well. In other words, I might change my mind but the picks here won’t be able to be updated.

The piece submitted evidence that while younger, smart, tech-savvy gamblers are seeking more and more skill games to play, they are not flocking to wagering on horse racing like they were even a half-generation ago. In Part II, I'd like to offer three strategies that I think may help horse racing attract the younger, modern gambler, so that in three or four decades, horse racing holds its place in the gambling market.
