The Latest News

Ellis Park is Back!

We got the call Saturday afternoon — Ellis Park is back in action beginning this Friday, as they have negotiated a deal with Kentucky horsemen. Which means that the Ellis Park Public Handicapper Challenge is still very much alive and kicking. In fact, Ellis assured us that whether they had closed or not, they were still sending our top 3 to Vegas! Beginning next week through Labor Day weekend, we will feature a race from Ellis Park. And one of the great things about the deal is that Ellis Park's races will be carried on both TVG and HRTV, as well as wagering sites such as TwinSpires.com.

In this week's racing, it happened again. For the 3rd time in less than a year, Presious Passion won at double-digit odds. When will we learn??? Actually, many PHers already have learned, as Presious went off a low 7-1 on the site, while paying 13-1 at the track.
