We break down the late Pick 5 on Maryland Million day, one leg at a time. First Frank Vespe explains how Maryland Million eligibility works. Then we handicap the Race 8 turf starter allowance that opens the sequence and ask whether anyone can beat Wa... more

We go race by race through the Keeneland late Pick 5. Race 6 is a maiden race full of first-time starters, so it's a leg to spread or pass, and we talk about whether tote action and will-pays can help you there. In the Perryville Stakes (Race 7), Dee... more

Everything starts with baseball trauma and a little Yankees talk, then we get down to betting. We lay out our big-picture approach (building good tickets matters as much as handicapping) and walk through the Belmont late Pick 5 race by race:

We break down Friday's late Pick 5 at Belmont, race by race. In the Miss Grillo (R7) we weigh whether Domestic Agenda is a true single over a tricky juvenile turf field. The Champagne (R8) looks like a chalky survival leg built around USS Valor and G... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Belmont Late P5 for Saturday with Jackson Muniz
Q: What are your thoughts on the opening Belmont weekend and the guest's background?
Eric introduces Jackson Muniz and asks about his path to NYRA, with Muniz describing his Del Mar roots, contest success, and how that led to Talking Horses appearances and now Belmont-related duties.
Preakness News with TK Kuegler and the Saratoga Late P5 for August 8th
Q: TK, give us the cliff notes of the Maryland media rights deal and the move back of the Preakness, plus anything that hasn't already been said by officials.
TK explains that the six-year NBC Sports deal is the largest media contract for Maryland racing, designed to raise exposure for Maryland racing and the Triple Crown, including moving the Preakness to an eight-day offset and expanding coverage to preview days and Maryland Million. He emphasizes the strategic goal of more time between the Derby and Preakness, broader national exposure, and potential future announcements that will unfold over the coming months.
Saratoga Late Pick 5 with David Aragona for Saturday, August 1st
Q: With the Jim Dandy, do you think Chip Hon Cho is the lone speed or will someone else challenge him?
Chip Hon Cho is likely to be the lone speed, but there are scenarios where a secondary pace could emerge; my stance is that he can still win if he controls the pace, though others could factor depending on trip and stable dynamics.
