Pick for Friday December 13, 2024


My "Watch Horse" Calling Card is running today Friday at Oaklawn, race 7.

Bet Calling Card (ML 2-1) to win, place using double down betting strategy.

Is Calling Card a Road to the Kentucky Derby contender in the making?

We’ll get a better idea when he starts as the probable favorite (ML 2-1) in a $125,000 allowance optional claimer racing one mile at Oaklawn.

Calling Card showed some potential in his first two starts on turf, but exploded when switched to dirt in a one-mile maiden special weight for New York-breds at Aqueduct, crushing his rivals by 17 1/4 lengths with strong speed figures.

If he can run similarly fast against a tougher non-state-restricted field at Oaklawn, then a Road to the Kentucky Derby foray is surely next on the agenda.
