90 Days: Thursday, December 26 (Day No. 81)



















(This is the time of year when the horse racing season for the Ivory Pine Syndicate is winding down, but the soccer season for the Rosevelt Soccer Club is gearing up. Here's a 90-day glimpse of the day in the life of a horse racing managing partner and soccer club administrator.)

Watched races at Santa Anita Park, 2p-7p

Santa Anita Park celebrated its 90th anniversary yesterday with its annual day on Boxing Day, and it was the first time I'd enjoyed an afternoon of handicapping and wagering since Breeders' Cup weekend in early November.

The resource I've been using for most of my serious handicapping is Equinedge, which was a focus in a really good March 2023 story on how handicapping and wagering in horse racing has changed over the last few years.

My recent handicapping and wagering has incorporated +EV, or Positive Expected Value. So even though I used a familiar tool, I used it with a different approach. 

After ending 2022 and 2023 in the green with my horse racing-related wagering, it looks like 2024 will end in the red. So we'll see how this new focus on +EV goes in 2025.

Our 11th season kicks off next Friday (1/3), so an e-mail to our directors about our next Board meeting next Thursday is the official kick-off to finalizing our preparations for our upcoming season.

Asleep, 11:06p
