A Leg Up: At the Spa!

At the Spa!

I'm at the Spa for my 16th annual trip! And guess what it's doing outside - raining! Surprise, surprise. All but one turf race is off and the track is sloppy. Since four out of the first five races are maiden events, I'm taking a pass until the sixth race.

For the few accessing this site, I have a new handicapping website. It's www.coasttocoasthandicapping.com It offers insights, news and a handicapping product for Saratoga's entire meet. The site is not totally live today, but it does have an introduction posted and a free Play of the Day. (I will provide a free play every racing day). Like all analysis on the site, The Play of the Day is provided in video format. Take a look if you get a chance, provide feedback at info@coasttocoasthandicapping.com or come back on Tuesday to look at the fee-based video handicapping product.

Later today I will provide a link to Best Bets - the handicapping analysis you may purchase - so you can see what it looks like.

As always thanks for clicking through.

I hope the first 15 trips were drier and this one dries out soon. Nothing messes up a good day at the tracks like rain.

Let me 'splain

For those not totally immersed in the Thoroughbred horse racing world, trainers give "a leg up" to the jockeys contracted to ride their horses.

You may remember giving your friend ten fingers - both hands clasped together to be used as a stepping stool or launching pad - in order to reach a tree branch, jump a fence or to be vaulted into a swimming pool. In the real world "a leg up," may mean gaining a foothold into a competitive marketplace or receiving much needed help or advice from friend.

It is in this spirit of friendship both the childhood kind and the kind formed trackside that I launch and hopefully maintain this blog. In the midst of it all, maybe you'll find an advantageous betting angle or learn about a new jockey on top a hot horse. One can only hope.

I am no expert in blogging nor do I pretend to be a horse racing expert (betting or conditioning). Just a fan with probably too much to say. But if you're willing to read, I'm willing to write.
