It appears there were actually three fast Dudes that ran last week. 

Today's HandiGambling 241 exercise is the eighth race from Belmont, the $60,000 Caress Stakes for fillies and mares at 6 furlongs on the Widener Turf Course.   Remember that you have a mythical $100 with which to wager on the race, and the entrant with the highest money total will receive a "Monthly Enhanced 60-Card Past Performance Plan."    Anyone going over the $100 limit will be disqualified.    Please post your plays and analysis to the blog.

*A healthy FLAT OUT is a tiger.  The problem is keeping him healthy. 

There's a little treat for all handicappers over this holiday weekend. Like turf horses?  How about the United Nations at Monmouth featuring European invaders CHINCHON and STACELITA?  Not to be outdone is the Shoemaker Mile at Hollywood Park where COURAGEOUS CAT, runner-up in the 2009 Breeders' Cup Mile, continues his comeback against defending champion VICTOR'S CRY, the solid CARACORTADO, and speedy LIBERIAN FREIGHTER. 

Tonight's HandiGambling 240 exercise is the sixth race from Indiana Downs, The Girls, Incorporated, of Shelbyville, Shelby County Stakes for fillies and mares at one mile on the grass.    Remember that you have a mythical $100 with which to wager on the race, and the entrant with the highest money total will receive a "Monthly Enhanced 60-Card Past Performance Plan."   Anyone going over the $100 limit will be disqualified.   Please post your plays and analysis to the blog.
