Happy Saturday & National Corn Dog Day! 🌭 We’ve reached that time of year when the top three-year-old horses start to separate themselves from the pack and show who really has a chance to take home the Run for the Roses—and we’ll be here to help you every step of the way. Today we head to New Orleans, LA, and Fair Grounds Race Course for a “win and you’re in” day for both the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks. If you’ve followed us for any amount of time, you know we love the

Happy Saturday & Pi Day! π🥧π The road to the Kentucky Derby is heating up as we are now less than two months away from the first weekend in May, when the top three-year-olds in Thoroughbred racing will hit the track and try to launch a Triple Crown run. This week, we are headed to New Kent, Virginia, to play the ponies at Colonial Downs. If you are a diehard Lundin Line reader, you know this track. But if you are new, or don’t follow horse racing as closely, Colonial Downs m

Happy Saturday & National Flapjack Day 🥞! We are back on the Kentucky Derby prep trail today with a huge day of racing from Tampa Bay Downs. If you are reading this thinking, “Wait, I thought they covered all the prep races—there is another one from Santa Anita later. Why only Tampa Bay?”—you are in luck and you are correct. We will have coverage later today over on X of the late Pick 4, which includes another prep race. Back to the early action: we have a full card at Tampa

Happy Saturday & National Sticky Bun Day! We are back at Turfway Park with a full card of great racing, and the road to the Kentucky Derby continues today. We’ve noted that our rankings do not seem to fit well with this track, and we typically stay away, but we couldn’t resist playing the full card with so much going on in Florence, KY. We did not have the best night: only two top-pick winners, and we missed the Oaks prep winner last night, so we’re looking to rebound. Today’

Happy Friday & National Love Your Pet Day 🐶🐹🐠🐕‍🦺🐕🐢🐴 It’s rare lately we get to post on a Friday let alone a Friday afternoon! We are excited to cap the full card from Turfway Park in Florence, KY.

Happy Valentine's Day & National Organ Donor Day! ❤️ We took a few weeks off from full cards as we had multiple prep races to handicap and felt it was best to put more effort into those. However, with this loaded card today from Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, LA, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to cap the whole thing. This is the first major Derby and Oaks prep where the winner could be in the starting gate in May even if they don’t run another prep. While it’s
