By Toph... So, we all got royally fucked by Mine That Bird, didn't we? Yes, we did. Here's a tip. Take all the 20 - 1 through 50 - 1 and just put $2 across the board bets down on them. I just registered with tvg.com, so my bets will be in. There's a small chance we'll head over to Golden Gate Fields, and if we do, I'll live tweet from twitter.com/thesportsbizzo. Oh, and, bet on "Rachel." She's badass. For time sakes, let's ... Read More

By Toph… (Editor's Note: Sorry to the RSS readers... Come to the site to see the tables. We love you, but we are lazy, too.) This really is the best time of the year for sports.

Last year's Cup was pretty extraordinary, as the family had two horses participating in the events, Irish Smoke and Dream Rush. This year there's no horses, which isn't a bad thing. We don't have to hold ourselves to any sort of standards, as we're not representing integrity and ... Read More

By Toph… This is a huge race, for personal reasons. My in-laws across the country are gathered around the TVs, and at the Pimlico Race Course in Maryland to see Macho Again. If you listen to The Sports Bizzo podcast, I told you to watch out for this horse, because my parents in-law own him. He's good, but he's a big long shot. Big Brown is looking to have a shot at the Triple Crown today, and there are a lot of horses ... Read More
