May – October is our peak season, when most of the races are won and most of the money is made. The summer months (June – September) is the most important part of that. With one month left in the summer season, here’s our record for June, July and August….

Our overall numbers for the period were excellent, a little lower for the win and quite a bit higher for the in-the-money percentages than the 20%/50% that is the gold standard in the business. We broke it down by trainer just to offer some perspective. As you can see from the above, both our of primary trainers have performed at a very high standard. Trainer Steve DiMauro had a higher winning percentage and trainer Mark Salvaggio had a higher in-the-money percentage during this admittedly limited but vital period of time. Since Mark gets the lesser stock (but also runs on a much weaker circuit against much softer competition) it’s not surprising that he would have somewhat lower winning percentages but more horses in-the-money, but this is going to vary from month to month and year to year depending on a numbers of factors, not least of which is how good the horses are we give each of them. Bottom line, our two primary trainers are doing a fine job for us and as a result our horses are running well, winning races, and making money!
