OnTrack with George, Rob and Bob. ASD Horse Racing.
by George Young Jamaican jockey Chavion Chow booted home four longshot winners on Saturday night at the Downs to force a Pick-4 carryover of $5,184 carryover and Paul Nolan won four races the night before to take back the lead in the rider standings. Friday and Saturday night couldn’t have been any more different. On Friday [...]
by George Pure Glory pounced early under former Jamaican riding champ Trevor Simpson and wired the field in the $50,000 Agassiz Stakes by 3 ¼-lengths on Saturday night at ASD, capping off a $2 Pick-4 that paid a whopping $10,923. Was it gettable? It certainly was for the one bettor who handicapped better than the rest [...]
by George If you’re a numbers player AND your lucky number is 3, you probably did alright on the Pick-4 Wednesday night. If not, you can always take another shot at the pool on Friday. It’s usually in the $5,000 range. Just use a different set of lucky numbers. Kidding! Maybe. The winning combination of [...]
by George It was Girls’ Night Out at the races on Friday for at least one lady. She just happened be a jock. Apprentice Jennifer Reid won four of the eight races on Friday night at the Downs, including the middle legs of a $2 Pick-4 that paid a whopping $8,033 for the lucky bettor [...]
by George Paul Nolan served notice that he won’t be wilting under recent pressure from Rohan Singh in the battle for the leading rider title by winning four of the seven races at Assiniboia Downs on Friday night and the 15% Pick-4 paid a solid $1,557.50. Nolan won the first race on Sweet Margi ($9.30) [...]
by George The Frank Arnason Sire Stakes probably wasn’t as close as it looked and the Pick-4 still paid decent despite being weighed down by favourites on a beautiful Saturday afternoon of racing at ASD. Heavily favoured Danger Rules went to the lead early in the $30,000 Frank Arnason Sire Stakes and set all the [...]
by George The track was muddy but the odds were great on a sunny Saturday afternoon at the Downs, and someone took home $4,495 as the lone winning ticket holder on the Pick-4. The day started off with a bang when $25 winner Sharp A held on to win by a neck under jockey Prayven [...]
by George The Pick-4 came close to paying $4,000 on Friday night at ASD but Maintenance Man ($24.10) just couldn’t get by favored female Hurrionby ($2.65) no matter what her name said. Still, Maintenance Man received an excellent trip from jockey Paul Nolan, who continues to show why he’s been the leading rider at more [...]
by George Pierre Lapin came rolling home under Trevor Simpson to win the featured third race Wednesday at ASD on an evening when the betting pools were large and lucrative and two horses were claimed out of the same race for $15,000. Each. Claims over $10,000 are rare at ASD, let alone two out of [...]
