By popular demand, we have done a report for Opening Day at Del Mar. Last year, Pope Jude fans kicked off the meet with four winners in nine races including Montego Bay at $32.20. That's a lot to live up to, but we've beat the bushes and hopefully we can guide you to a profitable day in 2016. A special $5 price too.
Huge Saturday Cards at Arlington and Belmont
Six graded stakes at Belmont Park and four at Arlington Park make Saturday's action pretty spiffy class-wise. Delaware Park has a couple too. Let's #GetHot and #StayHot!
If you ever have a chance to go to the Queen's Plate, do it! What a great day of racing among some die-hard fans and food and music lovers. Prince Harry is reportedly contemplating a trip to Woodbine for the 2017 edition, so make your plans early!
Ohio Derby Day Plus CD PRX BEL & SA
Saturday's report includes selected races from the Ohio Derby Day card, as well as some from Churchill Downs, Parx, Belmont Park and Santa Anita. It looks like a fun day of racing that should offer a few chances to make a good score.
Best of luck at the windows!
Solid Stephen Foster (G1) Saturday
Kicking it off with a cold exacta is always a good thing. Couple that with Walkabout at $10.60 and Pope Jude fans had plenty of dough to play with Saturday night. Bradester's Stephen Foster score was the key for many, according to the emails we received, as the overlay on him was ludicrous.
We'll try 'em again this coming Saturday.
Have a great week!
Nice Preakness Weekend
It's no secret that Preakness weekend is the best event the Triple Crown offers. Pope Jude fans no doubt enjoyed both days with a half-dozen winners on both reports and the ridiculous $33.80 Marengo Road paid on Preakness day. How did the local fans ignore him? The Pontiff crushed him.
Nifty slate of stakes Saturday, but keep an eye on the tote board. Belmont day is right around the corner and it promises to be a super day of racing.
Chalky Belmont Card - No Pope Jude Report for Saturday
Do to short fields, unpredictable weather and chalky contenders, there will be no report for Saturday, May 14.
Get your Black-Eyed Susan Day and Preakness Day reports next week and keep our roll going!
Kentucky Derby Day Huge for Pope Jude Fans
With winners Catalina Red ($30.20), Camelot Kitten (39.40), Sharp Azteca ($28.20), Divisidero ($15.40) and Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist ($6.60) on Saturday's Pope Jude report, our fans crushed it. Many scored huge hits on the Derby Pick Five and Pick Four and a good time was had by all.
As the Triple Crown continues on to Pimlico next week, there will be a Black-Eyed Susan Day report with seven stakes on tap that day and of course a Preakness Day edition. As we like to say on twitter, "#GetHot #StayHot."
Kentucky Oaks Day and Kentucky Derby Day Reports
The Pope Jude Kentucky Oaks Day and Kentucky Derby Day reports will be posted Thursday, May 5 and Friday, May 6 respectively.
10 Winners on Last Saturday's Report
Our hot streak continues.
From our emails, it seems Oaklawn provided the most profits for our fans with the rousing endorsement of Effinex and the big run by Creator in the Arkansas Derby (G1).
Oaks and Derby are fast approaching and we'll be on hand for works during the week and full card reports for both days!
"Nice call..."
Friday's full-card Keeneland opening day report drew some rave reviews from our fans. There were six winners listed on the sheet and the $118 .80 exacta in the Transylvania (G3) stakes sent many people home with more than dinner money.
Here's a message from one of our purchasers:
"Nice call on Shakhimat and JR's Holiday in the Transylvania. I was high on both of them, your recommendation made me double my exacta play... First big score at Keeneland! Thanks again hoss, lets keep it going."
We indeed kept it going as Saturday's report featured the exacta in the Commonwealth (G3), the tri in the Toyota Blue Grass (G1), the winners of all four of the races we covered at Aqueduct and the exacta in the Santa Anita Derby (G1).
It was a lovely weekend.
Inclement Weather Sale
With bad weather forecast at Keeneland, Aqueduct and Santa Anita this weekend, both Friday and Saturday's Pope Jude reports will be $5.00!
Congrats to last week's Pope Jude fans who cashed big on the Nyquist-Majesto exacta in the Florida Derby. What a price we got! #Crazy

There are 22 races covered on Saturday's report - Dubai World Cup Day, the huge Rainbow Six carryover at Gulfstream Park with a mandatory payout and the Louisiana Derby Day card from Fair Grounds. From morning 'til night, Pope Jude has you covered.
Boxcar Winners Highlight Saturday's Report
Florida Oaks (G3) winner BACIAMI PICCOLA ($31.00) at Tampa Bay Downs and China Doll Stakes winner MIRAGE ($56.20) at Santa Anita, anchored a huge day for Pope Jude fans last Saturday. Exactas in three stakes - the Tampa Bay Derby, Silks Run and John Battaglia - added to the fun.
Thanks to everyone who purchased a report!

Complimentary Reports for February 20 Purchasers
It was a tough Saturday for Pope Jude fans last week. All purchasers of the February 20 analysis will receive a complimentary full-card Gulfstream Park report via email.
Happy President's Day
Pope Jude fans got the party started early on President's Day, banging out the exacta, tri and super in the second at Gulfstream and followed that up with the Miracle Wood exacta and tri at Laurel. It was a good thing as the rest of the card was chalky and affected by scratches.
This Saturday features some excellent racing at Fair Grounds, including the Risen Star (G2) and the analysis sheet should be fairly extensive.
Exacta Bonanza
Saturday's Donn (G1) day analysis provided players with a nice bunch of exactas -
LADY SHIPMAN & KATIE'S KISS AT $15.00
TAMMY THE TORPEDO & RAINHA DA BATERIA AT $29.40
POWER ALERT AND AMELIA'S WILD RIDE AT $34.20
AND
MSHAWISH & VALID AT $53.20
Four winning exactas in six races bet is a lovely day at the track.
Pope Jude Rolling Through Florida
The popemobile is rolling through Florida on the road to the Florida Derby (G1).
We'll be on the scene at Gulfstream Park for the next nine weeks and are looking forward to the great racing the winter meet provides. Our analysis sheets have continued to provide players with winners, exactas and tris and we'll be clocking, interviewing and listening in our quest to find more.
Saturday's all-stakes sheet includes Gulfstream and Santa Anita along with Oaklawn Park.
