It’s Santa Anita Derby Day, meaning more races than usual, and thus likely more options than usual. That said, a couple of maiden races start the day, the opener looking like a difficult maiden claimer and race 2 appearing to be dominated by heavy chalk NEVER ENDS, so you might have to wait a bit to find some price potential.
Another week, another huge day of racing. It’s opening weekend at Keeneland, but the weather could affect the track, especially the turf races. Again, let’s use DRF Formulator to look at a few plays around the country. Formulator allows you to see the lifetime past performances of horses who have run in the past five years for any trainer who has horses entered, as well as charts, replays, filters, and more. With access to this database and with one-click access to replays, it can allow you to see some things that aren’t readily available to the betting public.
Saturday’s card at Santa Anita Park is strong, offering salty fields and solid wagering opportunities. I’ll be looking to play the pick three that is made up of all graded stakes races – the Santa Anita Oaks, Santa Anita Derby, and Providencia (races 7-9).

For racing fans, few things mark the start of spring more than the Keeneland meet, a tradition that stretches back almost 80 years. This three-week meet lures many of the best horses in North America and most of the top trainers competing for lucrative purses, led by 15 graded stakes races. Prior to the fall meet last year, Keeneland replaced its Polytrack main surface with a new dirt track, meaning that that meet marked the first races on dirt at Keeneland since the spring 2006 meet.
