WANT TO FOLLOW A PARTICULAR HORSE OR TRAINER?
Looking for a way to keep up with the horses, or a trainer? Or, ever want to watch replays of races quickly and easily? What's coming up today or this weekend?
You need to register - it's free....there are some pay type options, but all I have needed has been the "free stuff".
Click on "Handicapping & PPs", roll over to "Tools" and note there is a "Horse Watch" and a "Trainer Watch" on the drop down list. I have entered several Horses to watch on the "Horse Watch" (you can even have it send you an email with updates, or you can check in and click on "Messages" and check out what is happening with your choice. You can also write a short note (I usually drop in the horse's next race, when I know what it is). A few of my choices are Uncle Mo, To Honor and Serve (one of Bernrdini's colts), Dialed In, and Zazu.
