Prat showed everyone how to win on the sloppy Saratoga surface today. I wonder  how many jockeys will be bold enough to try dropping out 20 lengths last. No excuses for Hill Road, Heart of Honor or Soverignity.

Love him or hate him, I think Repole has the right take on the announcement by 1/ST. He tweeted this a few days ago:

\"The only message I heard yesterday from 1/ST is that their racetrack (Gulfstream Park) and their land is for sale and the industry has three years to find a buyer if you want to keep it a racetrack.

I love horse racing and I love real estate\"

At Twinspires, the results tab shows a carryover of $40,154

Keep in mind that Mind Your Biscuits rallied to win from the back and down the the middle of the track.

I think it should be pointed out that you can make a batch of \"ABC\" type bets with DRF Bets directly from the DRF TicketMaker program. I haven\'t done it because since I have an existing Xpressbet account, I can\'t open a DRF Bets account.

Nik Juarez is  17% jockey,so I suppose I am being unfair and irrational, but I hold my breath and cross my fingers when he is riding my selection.

I can\'t use NYRABETS in Indiana. I use Twinspires and Xpressbet. I like the Twinspires detailed account history--win% and ROI by type of bet for any time period you choose. But I mainly use Xpressbet, because the interface is much much much better. Much faster to place bets, much easier to construct and save and revise horizontal bets. They show jockey changes on Xpressbet, and I think it\'s easier to see how many minutes to (advertised) post time for upcoming races on Xpressbet. Both sites have a site for mobile devices, but Xpressbet lets you choose to use the desktop site on your mobile device if you want. Twinspires doesn\'t let you do this.

Will he get fined or suspended? It was a bonehead mistake, and he probably feels bad. It\'s been done before and will happen again. I still think that it deserves a fine and suspension to remind all jockeys that the rules are to be taken seriously, but he\'ll probably receive a wink and a grin.

EV Racing Stable has pulled off some betting coups.

Fans upset about long lines at Churchill\'s new DRF pat down station

No worries mate. Interesting times ahead regarding Aqueduct racing and how the new surfaces play.

The main (and now only) dirt track has been renovated to allow winter racing.

Hadn\'t you heard? The inner dirt track at Aqueduct has been converted to a second turf course. The new turf course is one mile in circumference, same as the old inner track.

The stats are for that particular pattern

I thought that I was the only one who did that.
