Free Horse Predictions | Handicapping May 9th

[Shame About Ray]

National horse racing handicapper Michael Dempsey will attempt to pad his bankroll and yours with his daily column. He will feature at least one Pick 3 or Pick 4 play from a major track along with coverage of major stakes races, longshots, and he will keep you up to date on what is happening on the circuits he covers.

Churchill Downs switches to a later post tie on Friday, first post coming at 2:45 ET. That gives everyone a chance to find an excuse to cut out of work early, which you should be doing anyway. After all, it’s Friday.

We will attempt to pad our bankroll with a favorite in today’s feature, then we will invest $24 in the Late Pick 3 from Churchill Downs.

Today's Play of the Day from Churchill Downs:

CD Race 8 Clm $5,000 (6:18 et)

#2 Carsons Regal Lady 9/5

#8 Blues Muse 15/1

#4 Annie Dugan 5/2

#10 Bellafina 5/1
