#Woodbine Race

I led last week's column with this, but … "There seems to be more distractions than ever before for gamblers' attention with MLB starting to join NBA and NHL on the daily calendar" … and now we have football, too, with the second coming of the USFL. But, hey, there's always time to slip in some horse racing plays on our busy Saturdays. Last…

We have three plays on this tackle football Sunday, in stakes races from New York, Ontario, and California. We expect fast dirt and firm turf in all three; let's go. Aqueduct, Race 7, 2:44 pm ET $135000 Forever Together Stakes, 1 1/16 miles, Turf, Fillies & Mares 3 & Up Eight filly and mare turf runners line up for the Forever Together Stakes.…

If it's the end of the workweek, it's time for a pre-Thanksgiving edition of our regular Friday feature, Dad's Hat Happy Hour Handicapping. Today we have five plays in five races at five tracks, from one end of this great land to the other, all of which go off in less than an hour's time. We expect fast dirt and firm turf in all of them, so throw…

The Breeders' Cup is behind us, but Team Tuley continues to look for value at tracks from coast to coast. Unfortunately, there were a ton of scratches back East this morning, but I'm joined by Ed Sehon (aka Mr. Ed, who is back from Keeneland) as we have plays at Gulfstream Park in Florida and Del Mar in California, plus a couple at Woodbine up in…

We have plays in four races on this hot July Sunday, from New Jersey to Ontario to Southern California. We expect fast dirt and firm turf in all of them, so let's go. = Monmouth Park, Race 10, 4:27 pm ET $100000 Colleen Stakes, 5 furlongs, Turf, 2-Year-Olds Eight juveniles line up to sprint five furlongs on the grass in the Colleen Stakes at the…

These are the kinds of days that horseplayers live for: There are excellent stakes races from one end of this great continent to the other. There are so many, in fact, over three dozen by our count, that we cannot even begin to cover them all, so we've selected six of the most important, which are worth watching purely for entertainment, but which…

We know everyone (at least it seems like everyone, or at least everyone in our world) is immersed in the football season with wall-to-wall college football on Saturday, but Team Tuley is still looking for value at tracks from coast to coast. Last Saturday, our friend Duane Colucci, race and sports book manager at the Rampart, took the day off and…

If you have a confident opinion on which filly or mare will prevail in Saturday's $750000 E. P. Taylor Stakes at Woodbine, then let me offer a hearty round of applause. Either through handicapping acumen or sheer bravado, you have found confidence where most bettors are likely to proceed with caution. Let's face it: the Grade 1 E. P. Taylor is…

Today's best action is north of the border, at Woodbine Racetrack in suburban Toronto, where the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile headlines a terrific 12-race card. We have three races today there, two at Aqueduct, for five exciting stakes on a late summer Saturday. It's an all-grass lineup, and we expect firm turf in all of them. Let's go. Aqueduct, Race 7,…

We know everyone (at least it seems like everyone, or at least everyone in our world) is immersed in the football season with wall-to-wall college football on Saturday, but Team Tuley is still looking for value at tracks from coast to coast. Last Saturday, I came through with a 12-1 winner as Red Knight ($26.04 to Win, $9.50 to Place) won the…

The Pattison Summer Stakes, which will be run Saturday, Sept. 17 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto on the E.P. Taylor turf course, will highlight seven 2-year-old colts competing for a pumped up purse of $500000. This Grade 1 stakes is also part of the Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" Challenge Series. The winner will automatically receive a free…

There's a simple reason why the $1 million, Grade 1 Ricoh Woodbine Mile Stakes awards a "Win and You're In" berth to the Grade 1 FanDuel Breeders' Cup Mile - it's one of the most productive Breeders' Cup Mile prep races in North America. As its name implies, the Woodbine Mile is contested at a distance of one mile on the Woodbine turf course. Since…
