Overview
As you I am sure you are aware at this point, I am a degenerate. I LOVE gambling and there are veryyyyy few things I have not / would not gamble on but we all must realize horse racing is about as degenerate as you can get.
I learned to bet horses in high school as I lived relatively close to a track, but I really fell in love with the sport of kings after college. I had the opportunity to see Justify win his triple crown a few years ago and am super interested to see how this crop of 3yr old runs over the next 5 weeks.
While I love horse racing, I do not normally post picks because frankly, it takes me a ton of time to come up with my cards as I do it old school by hand (how I was taught).
Enough about all that, let’s get it!!!!
Recap
Last time out I did the card for the Florida Derby about a month ago and it was rather uneventful.
I am now SLIGHTLY unprofitable so I am going to make a bit of a change for the card today, which I will get to below.
Let’s cash some tickets today!

My list of single race tickets:
Below are my tickets for today’s races and these are based on my analysis and my bankroll. PLEASE make sure you are gambling within your bankroll and your limits!!
For today, I am giving myself a $500 bankroll for single races1. This does NOT mean you have to bet that much too. If you are someone with a more limited bankroll, PLEASE throttle down the amount wagered to a level that is more comfortable for you.
