Chalk status might end up on Grade II Delaware Oaks winner St. John’s River. The Andrew...
Misty For Me, the Aidan O’Brien trainee that won the Group 1 Irish 1000 Guineas in May, and the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes over Midday in late June, has been installed as the 2/1 favorite to take home top honors in the Group 1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse on Saturday, July 30.

Godolphin’s Delegator, the winner of the Group 2 Duke of York stakes in his last, is the favorite to win the July 9, Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket.

The trainer that has won five straight Irish Derbies brings an exceptionally strong hand to the race on June 24. Aidan O’Brien’s hand is so strong in the 2011 Irish Derby that many horse racing fans have already put O’Brien into the winner’s circle.

Kentucky Derby betting is red-hot right now, and it is time to pick our winning tickets, so the winner is...? Well, we take a look at all of that, and in a rather unconventional way this year. Don't forget that we hit big in the last Triple Crown race when Drosselmeyer romped home in the Belmont Stakes.

The Belmont Park card kicks off at 1:00 ET today with an excellent nine race betting card featuring four turf races and a stakes race for horses bred in New York.
The featured betting race for Wednesday is the...
Some serious horse racing betting equines will break from the starting gate in Churchill Downs’ Race 9 on Wednesday, May 4.
Race 9 under the Twin Spires on Wednesday is not your typical 6 furlong sprint race. With horses like Snapshot, A Diehl, China and Irrefutable taking to the track, horseplayers can be assured of receiving a somewhat fair price on the pony they like.
