There’s racing action all weekend long to welcome in the New Year on Idabet.com. Catch stakes action from coast to coast and expanded racing action Monday, January 2, a legal holiday and big racing day.
One big carryover to start the weekend…$155,000 in Gulfstream’s Jackpot Pick 6. Due to the holiday, please check our schedule as many of your favorite ovals have extra cards.
And of course, Idabet wishes you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
The season of giving is surely the one of offering…as in two big Pick 6 jackpots awaiting Thursday’s (Dec. 29) race cards at Gulfstream and Santa Anita.
Santa Anita projects with its carryover from opening day on Monday, that their Pick 6 will be worth at least $750,000 when racing returns Thursday.
Its sister track Gulfstream also has a $100,000+ Pick 6 carryover for Thursday, so you can expect another big jackpot by post time.
Though you may not find huge jackpots at smaller tracks, you will find better rewards at many. We offer many tracks who reward you with the biggest daily rewards…if you want more out of your rewards, let me know and I will help you find such tracks…Email me at Steve@Idabet.com.
Monday, December 26 marks the opening of the winter meet at Santa Anita with the $300,000 Malibu Stakes on tap and a Late Pick 4 starting at $400,000.
Gulfstream Park is up and running with a $118,000 carryover on the Pick 6.

On behalf of the Idabet.com team, I want to wish you the very best holiday season and of course the biggest winning year ahead. Thanks to all of our players that have made our second year of operation a major success. We must be doing something right, because players are coming from all over the country and seem to revel in our all cash rewards program and our dedication to personalized service.
Here’s a look at what is happening in racing this week:
FOUR AE’S ON THE DERBY
Churchill Downs which of course at Idabet we are hoping they will allow all bettors an opportunity to bet their races on any ADW will allow for 4 also eligible entries to next year’s Derby. 24 horses can be entered and any late scratches will allow those on the list to get into the race. While nothing entices gamblers as a full field like that for big time payoffs, it also causes the race to really crown the best three year old early in the season.
That charge of mass horses down the stretch usually prevents most horses from getting a true trip and as a result why we see many of the race winners lose esteem later in the summer. Just too many horses get caught in jams and even the best of runners don’t emerge until they get a fairer race later on.
Of course, with me, it’s like all the foreign runners on Breeders’ Cup Day. You really need to do your homework on those charges if you stand a chance at the window (oops…at the computer screen).  I grew up working at Laurel with the Washington, DC International and trying to get a fair read on the invaders was always my biggest problem with the race.
LAUREL ENDS MEET
Speaking of the Maryland track, there are two $75,000 races on Saturday’s closing day card. But no one knows the future of the track and Maryland racing.  The state, horsemen and...
It’s official…warm weather sunny Florida racing action from Gulfstream Park and Tampa Bay Downs will be offered to our players all winter. Of course, you can choose from scores of tracks from across the globe as well as these two popular winter venues. Gulfstream gives you an early view into the many Derby hopefuls as well as last year’s older horses returning to aciton.
Tampa Bay Downs has increasingly become a mecca for top racing action in the winter as horses gather from racing spots coast to coast to enjoy the Gulf breezes.
Find a track where you can get hot and even if there is snow on the ground…coast to coast, ocean to ocean we have the action.
