Tom Pedulla presents five key takeaways from the $12 million Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline, the $1 million Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby, and looks at other major developments this weekend:
A change in tactics and the addition of blinkers provided the winning formula March 27 for Reddam Racing's Slow Down Andy in the $500,000, Grade 3 Sunland Park Derby at Sunland Park.
On the same day in which Japanese horses won five races in Dubai, Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen and Eclipse Award-winning jockey Joel Rosario teamed to win five races themselves March 26 at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, capped by the $1 million Grade 2 Twinspires.com Louisiana Derb
When initial Triple Crown nominations were released in early February, among the cast of 312 were 21 Japanese horses, including a colt with a 2-for-2 record by the name of Crown Pride.
For the sixth year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2022 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big Race Showdown.”
