Jonathan Clarke+FollowHow to Nail the Pick 5 Like a ProEver tried the Pick 5 at the track? It’s basically the horse racing version of a five-leg parlay, but you can pick more than one horse per race. If you nail all five winners, you split a massive pool—sometimes millions! The trick? Build your ticket smart: single a horse you love to save cash, then spread out in the tougher races. Hit a longshot and you’re looking at a monster payout. Saratoga and Del Mar are coming up—time to test your luck! #News #HorseRacing #Pick500Share
Cody Kennedy+FollowFair Grounds Outsmarts Churchill DownsDid you catch this? Fair Grounds Race Course just pulled off a major win against Churchill Downs Inc.! After some serious drama (and a threat to pull the racing license), horse racing in Louisiana is safe for another year. Churchill Downs tried to play hardball after losing a court battle over gambling machines, but the local horsemen and politicians rallied and called their bluff. The winter meet is back on, and Fair Grounds lives to race another day! #HorseRacing #FairGrounds #Louisiana #News10Share
jharvey+FollowRoyal Hopes Dashed at Ascot OpenerTough start for the royal stable at Royal Ascot as King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s favorite, Reaching High, couldn’t live up to the hype. Despite big expectations and a prime spot in the royal procession, their only runner finished a disappointing ninth in the Ascot Stakes. The tradition runs deep—especially after last year’s win with Desert Hero—but the royal silks will have to wait for another shot at glory. Did anyone else think Reaching High got boxed in too early? #RoyalAscot #HorseRacing #RoyalFamily #Sports5510Share
Eddie Deleon+FollowNew Money Shakes Up Royal AscotWathnan Racing, led by the Emir of Qatar—aka the Sheikh with the world’s flashiest superyacht—has the old guard at Royal Ascot seriously sweating. After bagging the Gold Cup with Courage Mon Ami last year and splashing out for sprint star Lazzat, the Sheikh’s billions are rewriting the pecking order. Godolphin and Juddmonte might have history, but the new kid’s garage (500 cars!) and private airline say he’s here to stay. Is this the start of a new dynasty, or will tradition fight back? #RoyalAscot #WathnanRacing #HorseRacing #Sports30Share
