On paper, this year’s Preakness looks pretty formful as American Pharoah scared away a lot of the local competition and we are left with a field of 8. Pharoah is 4 to 5 on the M/L and will probably be bet down lower than that come post time. While most handicappers are concerned with the […]
This year’s derby field looks to be one of the best in recent memory, and Bob Baffert is holding pocket aces, with the first 2 betting choices – American Pharaoh and Dortmund. Let’s be clear, the field is one of the best in recent history – but it is very top heavy, and not the […]
Pony Capper is finally in the black as we hit a nice trifecta on January 23rd. I really like today’s card at tampa as there is some nice fields and betting opportunities. So, let’s get right to the selections. Best Bets: Race 4 Horse 4 – Zephyrine (7-2) Was bet in debut and flopped […]
We had our first winner of the meet and got 3-1. Now, that we are officially in full flight for Tampa, lets try and make some serious cash. Over the course of the last month I have been tracking bias, trouble horses and I have a full stable of runners ready to roll. Best Bets […]
Another bad beat for ponycapper as 4-1 shot Saturdays for Fun lost by a nose yesterday. What is encouraging is that the best bets are running 2nd, so I may have to adjust my wagering strategy. Today, in addition to my best bets and plays, I will be giving my full card selections as […]
Best Bet: Race 9 Horse #3 – Saturdays for Fun (7-2) Angles: 1 – Had 2 brutal trips in a row as he lacked room basically for the whole stretch, and was full of run when clear. Only negative is he may get overbet as the public may have seen the trouble although it was […]
Best Bet Race 9 Horse #2 – Desert Bliss – 8-1 Angles: 1 – Best speed figures in the race. On multiple occasions, ran a higher speed figure than any other horse in the race. 2 – He is dropping in class. The allowance races for NY races are WAY better than these beaten claimers. […]
Here are my plays for Friday 12/12 and an update on the bankroll. Best Bet Race 4 Horse #1 – Sandra’s Garden – 5-1 Angles – FTS in weak field is always a good proposition. Also, sire was 12 for 29 lifetime and banked over 600k. Trainer is obscure but he ran 2nd with […]
Welcome back to the Ponycapper blog… I have enjoyed a lot of success at Tampa Bay Downs over the years and now I would like to share my picks through the Ponycapper blog for the upcoming Tampa season. IN fact, Tampa is my favorite and most profitable track, and we will look to build on […]
While it’s doubtful we will be able to duplicate 2011 results, we will look to improve off a disappointing Derby. Overall, Whitey has had the most success in the Belmont and confidence is high. This year’s Belmont took a hit when the race favorite was scratched yesterday. What we are left with is a bunch […]
