Horse Racing Betting – Horses To Keep An Eye On March 5th, 2010
All online betting cappers know that it’s not only about betting on the now, it’s also betting on the next. When it comes to horse racing, you always have to look at the up-and-comers to hop on the value while there is some. If the public gets a hold of a good horse, there isn’t much in the odds to go around. On that note, here is a list of some good horses on the rise:
War Echo
Trained by Steve Asmussen, we all know that that’s already a good start. Prior to its pre-Valentine’s Day race, War Echo was an Asmussen four-year-old filly on a winning streak, which some people wanted to compared – or mix up – with Rachel Alexandra.
War Echo was the odds-on favorite at the Pelleteri but finished third. That ended a nice streak but this horse still had a nice run at the Pelleteri. She raced mostly in sixth and lost ground on the final turn, but made up quite some ground to finish in third.
Last fall’s injury are behind her and War Echo is a force once again. She could be a nice horse betting pick at the Azeri Stakes at Oaklawn next month.
Eskendereya
Looking for an early Kentucky Derby contender? How about Eskendereya, who has the stalk, speed, power and endurance to get the job done. Eskendereya open some eyes and earned a few “wows” at Fountain Youth with a win by 8 ? lengths. Outside of the pessimistic “did he peak too early” questions, the reality is that this horse is big enough and powerful enough to put forth another huge effort in about six weeks time even though he’s running really well right now.
He is owned by Ahmad Zayat of Zayat Stables, who recently filed for bankruptcy.
Conveyance
Conveyance is another Roses contender and this one is a Bob Baffert baby. Conveyance took the Southwest Stakes this past Saturday, which gives Baffert two of the top three (along with Lookin At Lucky) Derby contenders, according to most racebook pundits.
This was his first conventional dirt foray and clearly, it wasn’t much an issue to capture the Grade 3 $250,000 Southwest Stakes. This is also a hot horse on a winning streak and previous to this won, had an easier one at Santa Anita for the Grade 3 San Rafael.
We next might see this horse at the Arkansas Derby on April 10th.
