Winning Ponies

Friday and Saturday Keeneland will present the greatest two days of thoroughbred racing in North America – the 2020 Breeders Cup. We have brought together two of the country’s most respected handicappers (both from NY). Dan Illman is the DRF.com Handicapping Editor and host of the DRF News Desk. Illman's “Spa Babies” and “Keeneland Babies” columns are also featured on DRF.com during the Saratoga and Keeneland meets. Illman authored the book Betting Maidens and Two-Year-Olds, and he released the DVD Trip Handicapping in 2008, both for DRF Press. Anthony “the Big A” Stabile was born at the racetrack. His parents met at Aqueduct where he later worked as a hotwalker, groom and jockey agent at the NYRA tracks throughout high school and college before becoming a writer and handicapper for the NY Post in May 1999. He has contributed to the Ky Derby and Breeders' Cup for the Bloodhorse. Both Dan and Anthony will join John in 'capping the highlight races for both Friday and Saturday cards.
