We had a very solid handicapping day at the new and improved Turfway Park on a brilliant Saturday in late March for the G3 Jeff Ruby Steaks. Out of the 13 races on the card, we had 5 winners and 6 Exacta payoffs. We hit 4 out of 5 in all three Pick 3s, too. Ugh.

We were not quite so successful down in New Orleans, however. We only managed a single winner out of the 5 Stakes we handicapped. We missed horribly on both the Fair Grounds Oaks and the Louisiana Derby.

Still, overall, we had a very happy day.

Hope you did, too.

See you on Thursday as we wrap up another huge meet at Turfway Park.

Until then…

Good Luck & All the Best / gene
