Horse betting faithful have to resist the temptation to get oversold on runners but once in awhile a few runners that break through rate scrutiny their entire careers.

Enter Ocean Colors. She burst onto the scene recently at Churchill Downs taking her debut by over 5 lengths going wire to wire and posting a 92 Beyer figure. The horse that ran second was almost 5 clear of the show horse and this gal’s future is so bright, that her owners at Gainesway Farm have to wear shades.

Astute horse bettors should put her on a watch and just be aware where she will show up in her next out. The miss is bred to be any kind as her dam Winning Colors took the 1988 Kentucky Derby and she’s in the right hands as her trainer Steve Asmussen has a nice little horse named Curlin too.

This is the trainer’s reaction in the Courier-Journal, Asmussen: “She sure has a lot of class. I didn’t know she’d be that fast from the gate. Who knows how good she might be?”

Nice words from a guy who has been around some nice horses.

Horse bettors can get a glimpse of how good she can be by examining the other runners that Winning Colors has dropped. She has 6 other foals to race and only 3 won but top kin Danzig Colors was a runner.

That mare could win short and long, was raced basically in Japan and she earned over $250,000.

The best news for horse bettors is that Danzig Colors’ form suggests that Ocean Colors will have options as all of the Japanese runner’s wins came on grass.

Clever horse bettor should be aware of Ocean Colors’ next start and they should double down if the runner shows up on turf in a race with zero speed in the line up.

Another runner that coast-to-coast horse bettors should follow is Right Place. Owned by Darley Stable, she was mired on the inside of the track in her first start and was tons best of the rest in her second on a wet/fast strip on the stretch out.

Caught wide in her third career effort, the miss dueled every step of the way and at the end was over 3 lengths clear of the show horse. She seems to be sitting on a maiden diploma.

Horse bettors that go the extra yard know that there are several winners in her family including near $300K earner and stakes winner Mambo Train.

Right Place’s top sibling is Runway Model, who took a couple of Grade 2 races, had tactical speed when she was on her game, could win short or long, earned over $725,000 and just might have been best in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile when blocked the length of the stretch.

If this filly shows up in a mile race in New York with limited speed, active horse bettors should make a little trip to the ATM with her saddlecloth in mind.

Just like ball clubs have their farm systems, horse players that want to stay ahead of the game always have a few up and coming stars that they have their collective eyes on.
