I look forward to this show and hope to join the podcast and your format in the future. Absolutely love you both, Mike and Aaron.
I left some comments on the recent racing dudes picks podcast. Magnitude is absolutely in tip top racing sjape and played him in the llast 3 races. Baeza absolutely had his shot, but AGAIN, missed the break….will he EVER fix his gate issues?? Im not sure. Solverneighty 💯 needs longer, but needs to be in top form, but I suspect he will be making noise later in the year.
I posted this on racing dudes podcast on has anyone noticed Magnitude running down Late in the stretch where he EXACTLY in both races wanted to drift out and lost his change of leads, luckily, jose got his head straight….im wondering what that is and causes it and, WILL it become a problem in his future races down the road
Check out RTN guys. I love it.
Bet baeza with a 50 buck show
After November, is NYRA the only medium with commentary between races? I enjoy America's Day but I loved how Fanduel covered all over the country. I made a lot of picks based off their commentary…thanks for having Dave on.
Magnitude had a great trip because he MADE that great trip
I like 3 horses at Saratoga friday – saturday
Prime Aurora on friday
Faithful Departed and Remember Mama on saturday
best of luck everyone
If a horse that I consider to be a MLW does not provide my minimum price I pass the race. I do not go against my opinion just to get a better price
Waggley was scratched from the Grade 3, $225,000 Sanford Stakes at Saratoga. Trainer Wesley Ward opted to scratch her after she drew the undesirable rail position (post 1), choosing to seek a graded stakes opportunity for her elsewhere.
I think the owners of Baeza and Sovereignty need to find a better trainer. Mott should consider retiring.
TVG going down the tubes is just another solid reason that horse racing is following the flow.
My favorite Dave the Dream Weaver was with Les at Los Al Ice Cold ❄️ Exacta
If Dave Weaver,Andie Biancone, and Todd Shrupp put all their horse racing knowledge together, we would have a…..DEFUNCT TVG.
Races maybe should be canceled with 100 degree temps
have a new appreciation for dave after that, i have never, NEVER, bet dave's opinion, but i find out he is putting in the work. guess it isn't fanduel's responsibility to pay for our entertainment and the promotion of horse racing. now who pays for promotion? great show as always boys
i remember having to pay extra to get tvg and fond it worth the money
If Baeza could ever break from the gate in even a halfway respectable fashion he could win some big races. That was my main takeaway from Louisville this weekend. My other takeaway is Magnitude is really good. And Sovereignty will be alright. I think he’ll return to form.
Having Dave on was awesome fellas. One of my faves on TVG, hopefully he can land on an outlet after it’s all done for good. Great show overall too, good luck fellas.
Magnitude ran a flawless race and looked impressive
Baeza needs P Val to teach him to break from the gate, nobody better.

Abashiri was on the lead in the last race – Not Kensington Park. There were two groups and Abashiri was the pace and led throughout. Lost by a neck to True Love. These horses are on another level.
