On Saturday morning I’ll have a look at those races and post thoughts on whom might contend in those.
WAGER UPDATE
Currently planning to wagering full cards once a weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun), only stopping for a week or 2 once I have 2 consecutive losing weekends. I will certainly bet full cards with major stakes races included in them. I’ll begin this excursion starting the weekend of 1/7, most likely Santa Anita on that very day.
I’m likely to do some audio updates summarizing these blog posts.
