  • ruffian75 · icy, funny you mention that. Romans was the original trainer, but the owners(s)? decided to transfer First Dude to Baffert. It might have been for their aspiration to go west, where there was nice purse money. But, it seems, that First Dude got the better of Game On Dude, before succumbing to injury. Now, GOD is the kingpin. Funny how time changes things. · 230 days ago ·

Grade II winner Bourbon Courage proved an easy winner last time out in the Super Derby (gr. II) at 1 1/8 miles. Now, the 3-year-old son of Lion Heart is being asked to shorten up to 1 1/16 miles in the Indiana Derby (gr. II) at Hoosier Park. Read More
why are the entries not set up?
Capital Account is a likely starter in the $250,000 race at six furlongs, formerly run as the Ancient Title Stakes, and Fed Biz is bound for Indiana and the $500,000, Grade II Hoosier Derby at 1 1/16 miles on Oct. 6.Read More

The “Anderson Oval” is looking to ride the successful wave that blew through the Indiana Downs spring meet. Indiana Downs does offer turf racing, which Hoosier Park doesn’t, but Hoosier Park has several marquee races that the aforementioned Indiana Downs lacks.Read More

  • Winplacsho · I'm an idiot for playing pick 3s, I just need to stick with straight bets in BC races, they pay good enough as it is. Plus, the races are so competitive its tough to string 3 in a row. I only used Caleb's Posse & Trappe Shot in pick 3's.
