#10 Praying in FM Sprint....getting good at the right time, could hit the board #3 Lovesick Blues in Sprint. 7-7 in the $ on dirt, home game for 7yo in career form. #4 Scylla in Distaff. A classy Mott mare who has run well @Del Mar at 15-1?! #9 Journalism. Huge jock upgrade, training great, no Sovereignty, home game and might get 7-1 #8 Formidable Man in Mile. 6-6 at Del Mar, Johnny V takes over, local hero can hit the board like Johannes did last year #6 Diamond Rain in FM Turf. Huge filly maturing nicely, will get the distance for sure and might be 10-1 for Appleby Go get 'em! Read Less

Join me (the special guest), Steve and Jay for the early BC podcast (recording Wed night) to get some thoughts on Friday races, general BC and Del Mar trends and even some Saturday wagering thoughts.........check this spot Friday morning for some price plays and again on Saturday for some more plays I hope to score with........B Cup has been good to us over the years so here's to another winning weekend betting the best horses in the world (except Sovereignty....guess they should have run in the Preakness) Read Less

After 22 years, this is the end for “Inside Racing” on the radio. I wanted to thank all of you who have listened to the show for affording me the opportunity to share my thoughts/picks/gripes/fixes for a sport I grew up loving and have continued to love despite its many flaws. It’s time for me to move on but a special thank you to everyone who attended a live seminar at one of the tracks or restaurants or spoke to me at the track or somewhere else and shared their love of horse racing. Sometimes it was with an upbeat tone, sometimes it was with real frustration but always with passion. Horseplayers and horse people care. Deeply. It meant a lot to me to share that passion every Saturday morning and be a part of your morning racing routine. I grew up listening to any racing I could find on the radio in the 70’s and for me to have been part of that tradition is special. I hope over the twenty plus years we’ve helped you expand your handicapping vocabulary and knowledge and made you think about some of the bigger picture issues facing the sport as well. Here’s wishing all of you a slew of winning photos, odds that rise on your horse during the race and DQ’s that only go your way. Go get ‘em!

PS - The website will continue to be the home for STEVE and JAY’s picks, Sunday free plays, blogs from both and much more…..I’ll likely pop up from time to time too… Read Less

Breeders Cup 2025 is in the books and Forever Young beats Sierra Leone and Fierceness to win the Classic! What a fine crop this turned out to be, with these three horses dominating the big races for two straight years. All three are candidates to join Sovereignty on the Horse of the Year ballot. And so is undefeated Ted Noffey, who put away Brant in the Juvenile. BC Mile/Woodbine Mile winner Notable Speech who put away his opponents with a devastating late kick for Appleby. Dirt Mile winner Nysos who nosed out last year's Juvenile winner Citizen Bull, finally back to his best. And how about Gstaad overcoming a slow start and horrible post to win the Juvenile Turf, and former steeplechaser Ethical Diamond, overwhelming Minnie Hauk and a tough BC Turf field.

STEVE called the Juvenile Turf Sprint with Cy Fair paying $12.00 under Irad Ortiz.

JAY nailed the Saturday middle Pick 4, suddenly becoming more affordable with the scratches of Sweet Azteca and Tamara and paying a fat $523.95!

And JASON nailed the Distaff with Scylla knocking off well-regarded Nitrogen and paying a nice $17.40 Read Less
