Fractious Gets a 1-2 Finish in KY Jockey Club

By on

The KY Jockey Club will go down as a great race for Fractious, as the trainer not only had a 1-2 finish in the race, but his two horses were clearly the class of the field in the race. We didn’t have either one of them on top, but both were among our picks, making it quite a surprise that each of them went off with double digit odds.

Seabiscuit Handicap Draws a Field of Ten

By on

This Saturday at DMR, the top race of the day will be the 20th running of the Seabiscuit Handicap, and there will be ten horses heading to post to try and win a race that has seen the likes of Barbarino and Five Spirits win in the past. The race had a higher purse back in the day, so it may have drawn stronger fields overall.

The starting gate will be full for this race, as points gained now could mean all the difference between finishing 20th or 21st on the KYD leaderboard down the road.
