Oaklawn Park closes its 2020 meeting with a reconstituted Racing Festival of the South, featuring split divisions of the Arkansas Derby worth $500,000 and 170 Kentucky Derby qualifying points each plus the Oaklawn Handicap and Fantasy Stakes (Friday).

Racing analyst Joe Kristufek joins Brisnet's Ed DeRosa to discuss wagering on Oaklawn in general and its 4 graded stakes races this weekend more specifically.

When Lemon Water won the 2nd race on Wednesday, April 8, at Tampa Bay Downs at 44-to-1, many questioned how anyone could have used the previously 0-for-19 filly, but for Predicteform users it was as easy as NPT.

NPT stands for New Pace Top, which is one of the most powerful form cycles Predicteform recognizes using its proprietary pace figures.

Predicteform's Danny Zucker joins Ed DeRosa on the Twinspires How To Bet Horse Racing Podcast to discuss putting this powerful info to use!

Gulfstream kicked its biggest day up a notch, as the Saturday card not only includes the Florida Derby but also an all-stakes Pick 6 with a mandatory payout of the nearly $2M carryover with an expected pool of more than $10M!

BetAmerica's Scott Shapiro joins Brisnet's Ed DeRosa on the TwinSpires How To Bet Horse Racing Podcast to discuss the Florida Derby. Scott and Ed agree on their top pick with slight differences to their approaches to "getting live" to the final leg.

The 2020 Kentucky Derby is now September 5, but that does not change the make up of part 2 of the Championship Series, as the first 100-points-to-the-winner race is Saturday at Fair Grounds: The $1-million TwinSpires Louisiana Derby!

Grant LaGrange of Fair Grounds joins Ed DeRosa to discuss the overflow field, including a look at each horse in the race and how to bet the 1 3/16-mile race based on how others bet the race (it is a pari-mutuel game after all!)

A pair of Kentucky Derby prep races are Saturday, and the action includes the Rebel at Oaklawn and the Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway.

Predicteform's Danny Zucker joins Ed DeRosa to discuss both races, including the pair landing on the same pair in the Rebel--and neither figures to be among the top 2 choices! Danny also has a couple price shots in the Ruby.

The biggest weekend on the 2020 Kentucky Derby trail is upon us with a trio of 50-points-to-the-winner races plus the penultimate Future Wager.

OptixEQ's Emily Gullikson joins Brisnet's Ed DeRosa on the How To Bet Horse Racing Podcast presented by TwinSpires to discuss the trio of pres, and as Brisnet's Southern California handicapper, Gullikson offers some insight on Nadal and Charlatan, both of which will be among the favorites in the aforementioned future wager.

The Triple Crown trail resumes with the Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

Compelling storylines and handicapping variables abound, starting with Dennis' Moment at 2-to-1 (morning line) in his three-year-old debut after an odds on disappointment in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

Predicteform's Danny Zucker joins Brisnet's Ed DeRosa to discuss each horse's chances as well as a wagering strategy for this intriguing renewal of the Fountain of Youth.

The pair also mention the Saudi Cup.

The Kentucky Derby Championship Series begins Saturday at Fair Grounds with the Risen Star Stakes, which was so popular that it split into divisions with each offering 50 points to the winner.

To help handicap these competitive fields, Danny Zucker of Predicteform joins Ed DeRosa on the TwinSpires How To Bet Horse Racing Podcast.

The penultimate 10-points-to-the-winner Kentucky Derby prep race is Saturday, Feb. 8, when Tampa Bay Downs plays host to the Sam F. Davis Stakes.

Undefeated multiple stakes winner Independence Hall looks to join Tiz the Law and Thousand Words as the only winners of multiple Derby Points races, but Ed DeRosa's guest this week, Gus Alonso, thinks a Navarro-trainee stretching out in his stakes debut could give the favorite trouble.

The Kentucky Derby Prep Season continues on Saturday, February 1, with a trip of 10-points-to-the-winner races, and Brian DiDonato of Thoroughbred Daily News joins Ed DeRosa to discuss them ahead of week 1 of the Brisnet Triple Crown Throwdown.
