Counting down the days until we adjourn the annual summer session of the best thoroughbred racing in the country.  Nine to ten races on each card for the next five days gives the betting public plenty of chances to make some value plays.  The Daily Racing Blog never shies away from trying to beat a 6-5 favorite with something offering a better price, especially in races with large fields.  Often times very good horses get overlooked, due only to the fact that one particular horse is pulling in a lot of money in the Win pool.  The Old Spa is not referred to as “The Graveyard Of Favorites” without warrant.  Isn’t that right GOOD MAGIC ?

The P.G. Johnson is the feature event for Thursday.  It takes place in the ninth race.  It is for two year-old fillies, and is run at a mile & 1/16 on the turf, with a purse of $100,000 dollars.

It is late in the game, and while DRB is certainly not losing, we will keep swinging for the fences.  Best of luck and value on Thursday.
