#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

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

It wasn't the easiest week to find prices, considering the short fields, but JAY found three of them. Last Sunday's Free Play, Surf Song started the ball rolling paying $14.80 to win. And after going 0 for the first 7 races on Saturday, Jay found his stride in the last two, nailing Scary Fast Ride for a fat $25.80 and A Great Shaking paid $10.40. Anyone who plays daily doubles on the Win picks, and you really should look at regularly playing the late double with its pumped-up handle due to the $5 minimum, was rewarded as a cold $5 late double on those two double-digit winners paid an outsized $319.00!

Late Free Play for Race 10 is posted! Check out the Sunday Free Plays!

JAY got off his weekend schneid in the get away 9th with Captain Choochies. The $8.00 winner keyed a $196.00 trifecta to close the weekend out! We say closing it out, because Monday is a rainout at SA, due to the coming storm.

Congratulations to the connections of Forever Young, the best horse in the world, (at least until Sovereignty returns), on their Saudi Cup win.

Saddle-Up with Steve and Jay covers the Big Cap. Podcast will drop sometime late next week (not this week!) Read Less
