Happy Thursday & National Hard Candy Day! 🍭🍬
We're back in the saddle, ready to help you cash more tickets as we head to Florence, KY, to play the ponies at Turfway Park! Grab a handful of hard candies to share with your friends, insert the Kevin Hart and LeBron commercial here, and get ready to enjoy happy hour and some exciting racing.
Yesterday in New Mexico, we had one top pick winner with a win return on investment (ROI) of -64% and five top-two winners, resulting in an ROI of -1%. It wasn't our best outing, but if you put together some exotic bets, you likely had a good day.
We aim to rebound today at the track, which is known for huge payouts. Today's card features nine races with plenty of runners, as usual. Let's take a look at some past sports history and a quick overview of this track before we dive into the picks!
This Day in Sports History 🏈🏀🏒⚾️

Turfway Park is a historic thoroughbred horse racing track located in Florence, Kentucky. Established in 1959, it is known for its winter racing schedule and the use of an all-weather synthetic racing surface, which provides safer conditions for horses and jockeys. The track hosts notable races such as the Jeff Ruby Steaks, a key prep race for the Kentucky Derby.
The weather today will be bitterly cold, with temperatures not expected to reach 40 degrees. Despite the chilly conditions, we can anticipate mostly sunny skies. Winter is in full swing, so be sure to bundle up if you plan to head to the track. Since Turfway features a synthetic surface, we can expect a fast track throughout the entire card.
