As we draw closer to the official start of winter, let’s put the coats and shovels away for a while and focus on the racing season in the land of Mardi Gras.

Fair Grounds opened its 2019-’20 season Nov. 28 and racing will continue in New Orleans through March 29.

To help intrepid handicappers in studying the races at Fair Grounds, let’s take a look at what’s going on now and in the past in hopes of uncovering a few winners down the road.

A week after discussing the top trainers at Gulfstream Park’s Championship Meet, let’s take a look at the world-class jockeys who will be competing at the meet.

A stellar group of riders dotted with current and future Hall of Famers will be competing against each other for much of the four-month meet, but the last two years indicate that two of them, in particular, deserve special attention.

As much as 2019 is winding down to a close, there are some places where things are beginning to heat up.

The starting gates open for Gulfstream Park’s winter meet Friday, kicking off a meet that will bring some of the East’s best horses and horsemen to the South Florida track through late March.

With another Breeders’ Cup in the books, there’s no shortage of could haves, would haves, and should haves. So for the next few weeks, let’s look back at what happened on Nov. 1-2 during the 36th edition of the World Championships to see what lessons can be gleaned from it.

For one, how was your money management? Ideally, every handicapper dreams of striking it big early in the card and then playing with house money the rest of the way.

Unfortunately, it usually doesn’t work out that way.

Everyone has heard about the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve and just about every adult (that I know, at least) has made a bet on the Derby. The Breeders’ Cup World Championships are just as much of a spectacle, and the two-day event offers even more opportunities to cash big tickets on premier horse racing. If you’ve never bet on the Breeders’ Cup before, we’ve put together an introductory guide for how to approach the wagering opportunities that await on Friday, Nov. 1, and Saturday, Nov. 2.
