I wonder if Cherie going to chase Triple Crown. She takes her time with horses like Mott
English
@BeReal2025 @3coltshandicap Betting has been open for the Derby since Tuesday and the whole card I think since Thursday. Matt is right, dumb that scratch time is more than 24 hours out
English
@3coltshandicap Because betting opens at 9am Friday. Field moves in one in 20 horse gate.
English
Good segway to this question: why wouldn’t scratch time for AE’s to draw into the race be at 9:30 AM today?
Why was it yesterday, when AE 24 had to scratch? He would have got in the race if scratch time was today.
(Vinny) Real Dynasty Picks@PicksByDynasty
With The Puma scratching and the last AE not drawing in, does everyone move over 1 post from the outside in? Or does everyone move 1 post over from the inside out?

@RacingDFS There will still be a works show before the Derby, there will still be coverage of the major tracks. And I bet the quality of horse racing coverage in the future will be much better
English
Whoever guesses my courtesy car number first gets tickets to the @Cadillac championship or if you can’t come this one, the closest tournament to you
English
@ClayTravis Isn’t the cover up worse than the crime in this instance? If both came clean right away this is a non story
English
Two things: 1. Mike Vrabel’s job shouldn’t be in remote jeopardy over this. 2. Dianna Russini can no longer work as a “reporter.” She can do sports media, but it will 100% have to be as an opinion person. She may, or may not, be good at that. I have no idea.

@BradFree1 @sportsandhorse The stewards would never overrule a veterinary scratch, so I’m not sure exactly what’s changed in this saga
English
Queen Maxima story clarification: Santa Anita stewards were not involved in the late directive from track officials/veterinary staff that contributed to Queen Maxima’s flat third as odds-on favorite G3 Monrovia Stakes. Details in DRF story link. drf.com/news/reason-qu…

How the hell did Xander just hit a ball into a merch bag? That's the most absurd ending of a golf shot I've seen in a long time
English
@SotoSocial Yes. Over the course of the 27 years the network existed, horse racing handle and ratings (aside from the Ky Derby) has absolutely nosedived.
English
TVG’s impact on handle might be a real thing.
caton bredar@CBredar
Channel reaches 30 million people…nearly 20% of all money wagered in the US on racing last year was wagered thru FanDuel/TVG. None of it CAW $$.

1st @RepoleStable pick. Chalk city. Race 7 Easy Decision
English
@HorseToWatch I assume the stewards will be policing riding out to the finish line for 7th place in consideration to the octofecta bettors?
English
The Octafecta story was just updated with some amended details regarding the payout ratios, and somehow it gets worse...
A jackpot with a 75% rolling carryover??
As others have said, are we sure it's not April 1?
Daily Racing Form@DailyRacingForm
Turfway Park plans to debut a jackpot-style bet on Wednesday requiring the selection of the first eight finishers in order, with the entire pool only paid out when there is a single winning ticket, reports @DRFHegarty. drf.com/news/turfway-d…

@AnnouncerPete Maybe the Delaware harness announcer, Jack Gallagher? I remember him during the week on TVG in my formative years following racing.
English
Monday musing for my worldwide racing aficionados!
When John Bogar retired...it was thought he was the longest tenured announcer in the country. Then I talked to Dan Jukich at Hastings who has him beat.
But! Brian Rickman at Caymanas beats em both at 42 years. Who is longer?
English
@atTheTrack7 @IsItSwift @joesantos_33 @HobbesBuddy A dirt horse almost won the Arima Kinen this year. It makes sense if they want to do Breeders Cup and end the career in his home country. I believe the composition of the field is fan voting, would sure give the race juice.
English
@IsItSwift @joesantos_33 @HobbesBuddy Did you ever think maybe that want his last race to in Japan, in ther biggest race?

@FanDuel_Racing @mrdubbsie @LosPonies @FanDuelTV @FanDuel First winning ticket given out on the air in weeks for Jose, wtg!

🎉 Maybe he meant the royal "We".
@MrDubbsie extends a congratulatory 👊🏽 fist bump to @LosPonies after hitting the Pick 5️⃣.

@Hinesite @ThruTheBridle I guess it was irresponsible to run the Kentucky Derby this year. Reckless disregard for horses health
English
@ThruTheBridle I get your frustration. But, must agree that it makes no sense to get halfway thru a card and cancel. Or why race, jeopardizing a horse’s health when you can make up the days later. Not to mention limiting scratches.
English
Just raze these tracks and build houses like the owners want, this shit is absurd at this point…
Nick J. Hines “Sarge” 🇺🇸@Hinesite
From the @santaanitapark racing office just now: Due to the incoming storm, racing has been cancelled today (Dec. 31) and tomorrow (Jan. 1). A make-up day of racing will be scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 8 using races from the two cancelled programs. ☔️ @FanDuel_Racing @FanDuelTV
English
@andyserling Jockey Club Gold Cup was certainly the most memorable race at NYRA this year, who will forget the opening furlong of that race
English
I think there are horses, like Nitrogen, Deterministic, and She Feels Pretty, that were stars of the year, but I don't think their individual performances were better than any of the five I posted...but it's admittedly subjective.

@ukHolloway91 Nothing that's happened there tops what just happened in race 2 at Gulfstream. Totally arranged race LMAO
English
@EJXD2 @NathanTheCaller That might be the creepiest thing I've seen. I can only imagine these types in the dungeon at Santa Anita with the regular folk betting Turfway simulcast.
English
@NathanTheCaller "Is American Pharoah in a miniskirt going to solve all of our problems," @NathanTheCaller asks. "No. But it's a start."
English
Presenting his senior research project, @UA_RTIP student of the year @NathanTheCaller learned that despite only 15% of @umamusume_eng players being familiar with horse racing before playing the game, more than 80% of players want to interact with racing now.

Love the replies on beatable favorites, so let’s try this…the winner this weekend at 15-1 or more will be ________
