Dan’s Double of the week, featuring handicapping analysis from America’s Best Racing’s New York correspondent Dan Tordjman, is brought to you by Horseplayers.com, the official online qualifying site of the Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge (BCBC) and National Horseplayers Championship (NHC).

It will not be long before racing returns to the land of the Ozarks for one of the year’s most popular meets.

Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., raises the curtain on its 2020 meet Jan. 24, bringing with it big fields and even bigger purses for three months of sensational racing.

Winners at the racetrack come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, yet there are a couple of important areas to focus on.

If you wager on horses either in great form or improving form, in the long run you’ll do better than wagering on horses that you hope will wake up and turn in better performances.

If you are like me, you made a New Year’s resolution. Some are personal like beginning a new diet. One that we will stick to this time ... at least until February.

Or maybe we got a fitness center subscription for Christmas. This starts out fine for the first couple of weeks. But then that energy turns into inertia and the visits drop off to zero.

Let me admit to one resolution I made quite a few years ago, one that I revisit time and again each season: Don’t be afraid to use the “All” button when making horizontal bets.

As we draw closer to the official start of winter, let’s put the coats and shovels away for a while and focus on the racing season in the land of Mardi Gras.

Fair Grounds opened its 2019-’20 season Nov. 28 and racing will continue in New Orleans through March 29.

To help intrepid handicappers in studying the races at Fair Grounds, let’s take a look at what’s going on now and in the past in hopes of uncovering a few winners down the road.
