Nick Borg's Ultimate Derby System

2010-03-04T10:09:00.007-05:00

Introducing A System for Selecting the Winner of the Kentucky Derby!

This system has been in the works for 6 years. And in this time frame it has been good enough to select Giacomo at 50-1 while also selecting the derby winner in 5 consecutive years!

To boast these stats and winners it's obvious we have something pretty strong in our grasp. And this is all documented within the system through sample races you will clearly see explained and worked out.

For more information click on the banner on the homepage. We also have a list of questions and answers that will give you some more insight as to how this system works.

As always we stand by what we offer and remember nickborg.com is the only place where you can get Nick Borg's selections as well as his products.

3-year-old preps analysis for February 27

2010-02-25T21:46:00.004-05:00

Due to some nasty weather here in the east we won't be making selections at Aqueduct for this Saturday. However, I did look at the 3-year-old prep races for this Saturday and here I offer some analysis.

Santa Anita - The Sham:
Kettle River broke his Maiden on grass and followed that victory with another victory on Synthetics at SA. He is working up to today's race very, very well and should like the added distance. Outlaw Man has run 3 very good races showing some guts but on grass. Does this grass ability transfer over to Synthetics? I think it will and the Outlaw should turn in a very big effort today. Setsuko has a pretty strong closing kick and seems to be improving. Goes turf to Synthetics here and should be finishing strongly once again.

Turfway Park - The J Battaglia:
Kera's Kitten seems to have it all together now and will try to make the lead once again from a wide post. Today's stretch out shouldn't hurt his chances. Codoy has a strong late kick and will try to transfer his better grass ability to today's Synthetic surface once again. Question of how tightly cranked he is coming off the layoff. In The Paint won easily 2 back and had a terrible trip last time out. Possible he gets that golden-stalking trip on the inside till turning for home.

Sunland Park - The Borderland:
Tango Tango has faced better coming off of races at Santa Anita and Golden Gate. Figures to improve off his last start which was his only poor race after showing some guts in his prior 5 starts. McKenna's Justice seems to have more upside than most in here and has worked well coming in off the layoff. Strong late kick says he will be flying late. Storming Saint fits well in here despite the stretch out and has worked well for this return.

Fountain of Youth

2010-02-17T23:31:00.002-05:00

The Fountain of Youth looks to be a tough race to figure out.

Buddy's Saint might be the most talented but doesn't figure to be fully cranked and or might need one off the layoff. This leaves room for someone to possibly jump up and take this race.

Aikenite, Jackson Bend and Positive Split are all capable of improving having had one race off their breaks.

Lost Aptitude goes first time on dirt and looks like the type that doesn't like to lose.

Looks like it is going to be a very hard fought race and a good race to build on for these derby contenders!

Valentines Weekend at Aqueduct

2010-02-12T13:05:00.004-05:00

This is Valentines Weekend and we are thinking that cashing tickets this weekend at Aqueduct will be very sweet.

Several races seem very deep without standouts and this usually means some bombs will surely hit the tote board!

We had a great Saturday last and we expect to keep our incredible streak running smoothly.

The last 4 races comprise the Super Guaranteed $250,000 Pick-4!

After last week's results you will want to consult with us before clicking the bet button.

Quality Road Serves Notice

2010-02-06T22:27:00.004-05:00

Yes, it's possible he can still be a gate scratch because he is a bit of a rogue and it's just as possible he can break a track record and still be in 2nd gear.

Quality Road is back to himself and he looks as if he will put together a very special 4-year-old campaign.

No more being asked to get 1 1/4 miles off a 6 1/2 furlong sprint coming off a layoff.

He will now be trained up to a specific race and distance and he will surely be something special to watch this year.

Can he go undefeated in 2010?

Giving it Away at Aqueduct

2010-02-06T22:00:00.004-05:00

The snow stayed away from the track and made a lot of our clients very happy.

We had the first Pick-3 ending in race 3 paying out a healthy $992

We also took down the following Pick-3 ending in race 4 at $1,537

We also had the early Double at $127

We also had the following Double ending in race 3 at $260

and even the next Double ending in race 4 at $158.

What can I say, we had one of those days again!

Snowball Fight at Aqueduct

2010-02-05T16:57:00.002-05:00

This Saturday I am not sure if there will be a Snowball fight at Aqueduct or perhaps just Horseracing.

If the horses do run your going to want to see who we are banking on.

Check out our stats. The numbers don't lie. We are on a roll and have been for a long time.

See you at the Cashing Windows!

Scat Cat Cashes in The Holy Bull

2010-01-23T22:04:00.001-05:00

Hey Scat Cat, nice pick in the Holy Bull.

Do you think Winslow Homer is going to develop into a top Derby contender?

Aqueduct Winners for Saturday

2010-01-21T13:02:00.003-05:00

I was confident that we would have a good day cashing tickets last Saturday but to have 7 consecutive winners is just unreal.

We also hit all the Doubles and Pick-3's comprising those 7 races.

This Saturday I can't promise 7 consecutive winners but we will have a big day!

Join us for some winter fun.

Congrats to All the Eclipse Winners for 2009

2010-01-19T09:16:00.005-05:00

Congrats to Rachel Alexandra, the 2009 Horse of The Year and the rest of the Eclipse Award Winners!

Let's hope 2010 is just as exciting!

Aqueduct Longshots this Saturday

2010-01-15T12:53:00.002-05:00

We had a very good day last Saturday as we cashed a lot of tickets. You can see the results for yourself since we always post the results on the site. And as expected we are off to a very good start in the new year.

This Saturday at Aqueduct there are several races that look to be a puzzle on paper. And that of course means there will be several double-digit winners on the card.

Join us in cashing in on some of these long-shots. You won't be sorry.

Quality Road Begins His Comeback

2010-01-03T22:32:00.003-05:00

Quality Road turned in a nice effort in his first start of the year at Gulfstream today.

It will be interesting to see what kind of year/campaign he turns in as a 4-year-old.

For a change Quality Road will get the time and training he needs to try and get the race distances he will be asked to run as opposed to how he finished off last year.

Remember he was asked to get 1 1/4 miles in the Travers off a single 6 1/2 furlong comeback effort which was off a 3 month layoff?

Maybe his talent and ability will all come together and he will also be fortunate enough to stay healthy throughout the year.

If it all comes together for him he could turn in a very special year.

What do you think?

Starting the New Year Off with a Bang

2010-01-01T01:23:00.003-05:00

Join us for a winning 2010.

Gamble on us...You won't be disappointed!

Rachel Alexandra Horse of The Year!

2009-11-30T22:31:00.005-05:00

I guess the big battle between the Zeyatta fans and the Rachel Alexandra fans will rage on till the Eclipse for Horse of The Year is given out. And it seems that everyone is weighing in, giving their viewpoint so why should we be any different?

Let me start by saying that if there ever was a year to give out 2 awards, to call it a draw, I would say this would be the year. They both went undefeated, so how can or why should one of them lose an award?

Both horses had truly great years. In fact we may never see another female Thoroughbred put together as remarkable a campaign as each of these 2 great gals has done. Honestly I wouldn't expect to to see another Filly or Mare such as Zenyatta or Rachel Alexandra in my lifetime.

Trying to choose one over the other is very tough because they are both great battlers. They fight until the finish. They each run with such heart and fire that seemingly it looks impossible to beat them.

In trying to choose who will be horse of the year you have to first start with and consider the most basic facts such as: During each campaign who beat tougher competition? Who had more success at different distances? Who had more success on different surfaces? Who won more Graded Stakes during their campaign?

And the answer to these questions comes to be Rachel Alexandra. She simply turned in a better campaign no matter how you look at it.

The thorn in Rachel's side is that she sat out the Breeders' Cup. But why should that 1 race count for so much more than just 1 race? Rachel did so much more during her campaign as compared to Zenyatta's campaign. So why should the Breeders' Cup victory erase all that Rachel did?

I know it's a huge race and I am a big fan of the Breeders' Cup Championships but I don't believe that one race equates to more than the total of what Rachel Alexandra created during her campaign. Not this time anyway. Not in this situation.

Buddy's Saint - Derby Futures Prospect

2009-11-28T23:04:00.005-05:00

2-year-old Buddy's Saint won the Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct this Saturday. This was just his 3rd career start and he recorded his 3rd career victory.

I realize that seeing a 2-year-old with some talent this time of year can give one delusions of grandeur, however after witnessing Buddy's Saint victory today it can make one a believer.

Buddy returned today just 3 weeks from posting an easy victory in the Grade II Nashua run at 1-mile. The fractions and final race time were impressive especially when considering the race surface was playing slower that day.

Today, 3 weeks later Buddy was asked to get 1 1/8th miles while facing the Champagne Stakes winner, Homeboykris. In the end Buddy coasted home with a very impressive victory.

In my book, a 2-year-old getting 1 1/8th miles in their 3rd career start speaks volumes. Add to this equation Buddy's Saint is bred for classic distances being out of Saint Liam (Saint Ballardo) and Tuzia (Blushing John).

I am not sure what Buddy's connections have in mind for his next start however considering that Buddy's Saint surely has talent and is well-bred, he has to be considered a horse with big possibilities right now.

From Brooklyn to California and Some Parts Unknown

2009-11-16T20:52:00.004-05:00

He started with just a few dollars to his name and banked on what he was able to learn from some old time greats and from what he always believed was best for his animals.

I didn't know him but I knew of him through his peers, his interviews, his maneuvering of his horses and his success. Some of the stories will make you laugh and some will move you to tears.

And in the end he turned it all into a Hall of Fame career and will always be considered one of the greats.

Goodnight Bobby Frankel...You will always be remembered and always be missed.

Euro Ratings Full of Tosh

2009-11-13T17:21:00.003-05:00

Steve Crist of Daily Racing Form wrote a great article today about the terrible rankings awarded to the Euro horses that ran in this year's Breeders' Cup.

For instance, Sea The Stars was awarded the top rating of 135. The horses that finished second and third to him, beaten a length or two for the last few months also received high ratings.

Mysteriously when these same horses raced in the BC last week they simply flopped. However their ratings are still higher than Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra.

So in a nutshell this tells you about the merit and integrity of this Euro rating system. But read Steve's article, he is dead on.

Two Great Fillies Have Left Footprints...

2009-11-07T22:54:00.005-05:00

Zenyatta ran an incredible race and we wish to congratulate her giant effort.

And now the Horse of The Year battle starts. Zenyatta or Rachel Alexandra, who will it be?

I find it to be simply incredible that Horse of the Year honors is between 2 amazing Fillies!

I am going to stay out of the battle for now and simply congratulate both gals. They each had incredible years and I truly believe they both are truly great horses.

Maybe this is the year that there are two Horses of The year!

I don't think anyone can argue with that!

Breeders' Cup 2009

2009-11-05T01:12:00.003-05:00

This years edition of the Breeders' Cup is set to drive a horse player/handicapper out of their minds!

Trying to deal with so many top horses in every race along with the issues of surface, distance, pace, class and rider is enough to blow anyone's mind.

Get on board with the handicappers at NickBorg.com as we are offering package deals for both Breeders' Cup days as well as our usual New York race card. Check out our stats for this entire year on our Homepage. See for yourself just how incredible our ride has been!

Battle of New York

2009-10-23T13:08:00.004-05:00

This weekend The Battle of New York takes place as State-breds are Showcased at Belmont Park. Adding to the mix will be a little rain so this equation will add up to several double digit winners on the day.

As you can see from the List of Results on the Homepage, we have been having just a great year. I suggest you join us as we start to take down some serious Holiday Cash!

We are forecasting that we will have at least 4 Exactas and 3 Doubles on the card besides giving out 5 Winners.

Join us for the fun!

Wet Tickets to Cash

2009-10-15T20:37:00.003-05:00

We have a very wet and rainy Belmont Park scheduled for this Saturday and as we all know nothing throws a bigger monkey wrench into the works than some rain.

This being the case we feel that there will be several double digit winners on the card.

Feel free to discuss some of these races on the Blog or send us an email.

Just don't let these winners go by!

9 out of 11 is just crazy...isn't it?

2009-10-04T21:49:00.003-05:00
