The NCAA Basketball Tournament is underway and today is a perfect time to sit around, eat pork rinds and enjoy watching horses and college basketball. And below is a parlay bet that I think will help you do that: 16-North Dakota State (19-15) vs. 1-Duke (29-5) In a recent article, I noted that “hot” favorites made for terrible bets in the NCAA Basketball Tournament and North Dakota State fits that description to a T, having won five straight games to punch its ticket to the Big Dance. The Bison were 14-15 prior to that late-season run and now find themselves

Despite the fact that only two horses in history have completed the Louisiana Derby (GII)-Kentucky Derby (GI) double, the signature race of the Fair Grounds meet is still one of the most important stops on the Triple Crown trail. Before points determined who would make the gate for the Run for the Roses, graded purse money was the most prominent determining factor and even before the New Orleans-based track boosted the purse to $1 million, the 1 1/8-mile race has featured some exceptional horses attempting to make the Derby starting gate.

The Kentucky Derby picture is starting to get clearer, but the last round of prep races will define the field. These races often offer strong wagering opportunities for both the casual racing fan, as well as those who make a living playing the races.
