XBTV Nears 2K Works From Saratoga, Del Mar

Edited Press Release

With closing weekends on the horizon for this summer's Saratoga and Del Mar meets, XBTV.com has already successfully captured, cataloged and uploaded nearly 2,000 morning video workouts for racing's marquee meets. The XBTV workouts are available without cost to those with a 1/ST account.

“An analysis of a published workout based only on final time can lead to a faulty conclusion,” said Jeff Siegel, Xpressbet.com handicapper and one of the country's most respected analysts.  “How the breeze was accomplished, and which work mate it was accomplished with, can be just as important, if not more so, especially at Saratoga and Del Mar, where so many young horses make their debuts. Rather than relying on independent analysis, the XBTV.com video workouts allow horseplayers and horsemen to use their own insight and formulate their own opinions to solve the puzzle.”

With Del Mar's GI TVG Pacific Classic and Saratoga's GI Jockey Club Gold Cup set for Saturday, Sept. 3, most runners in the large fields expected in the full cards that day should have workouts on XBTV. As happens at Santa Anita Park and Gulfstream Park during the Winter and Spring, XBTV camera teams have been trackside each morning working with the Official Clockers at each track to record as many of the workouts as possible. The full XBTV library allows handicappers to the opportunity to look at how a horse's work pattern might have changed–positively or negatively–throughout its career.

Several syndicates / fractional ownership groups, including West Point Thoroughbreds, MyRacehorse, Little Red Feather and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, have separate portals on the XBTV.com site to follow their horses. The workouts are also featured on NBC Sports' Breeders' Cup Challenge Series coverage and on Fox Sports' Saratoga Live.

XBTV Passes 1,000 Workout Milestone For 2021 Saratoga, Del Mar Meets

Barely one month into this summer's Saratoga and Del Mar meets, XBTV.com has already successfully captured, cataloged and uploaded more than 1,000 morning video workouts for racing's marquee meets. This milestone provides handicappers with 'behind the scenes' access to the nation's top horses and future stars and remains available without cost to 1/ST account holders.

“You can refer to published workouts and form assumptions based only on final time, but the opportunity to view the video and gain an understanding of how the drill was accomplished can turn an educated guess into a confident wager,” said Jeff Siegel, Xpressbet.com handicapper and analyst. “Especially at Saratoga and Del Mar, where fitness, quickness and readiness among two-year-olds and layoff runners must be accurately evaluated, the videos at XBTV.com provide the missing link to the handicapping process that the serious horseplayer simply cannot be without.”

With the tracks' two premier days on tap for later this month – Del Mar's Pacific Classic on August 21 and Saratoga's Travers on August 28 – now is the perfect time to browse XBTV's video library to gain an edge while handicapping races. XBTV teams in California and New York have been hard at work since before both tracks opened in July, capturing workouts for horses of all talent levels, from graded stakes winners to the unraced 2-year-olds looking to join them.

XBTV's video workout library is available at no cost for 1/ST account holders. To setup a free 1/ST account, simply visit XBTV.com and provide your name, email address and date of birth. A 1/ST account also allows customers to access the 1/ST BET and Xpressbet betting platforms as well as BETMIX handicapping software.

As happens at Santa Anita Park and Gulfstream Park during the Winter and Spring, two XBTV camera operators are trackside each morning working with the Official Clockers at each track to record the workouts. The full XBTV library extends beyond two years of workout footage, which allows handicappers the opportunity to look at how a horse's work pattern might have changed – positively or negatively – throughout its career.

XBTV's exclusive video workouts will return to Santa Anita and Gulfstream this fall prior to both tracks' the October meets.

Free Analysis: Jeff Siegel Provides Daily Column, Workout Report For Santa Anita Horseplayers

Daily race-by-race workout information, always a vital tool in the handicapping process, will be available to Santa Anita horse players as part Jeff Siegel's Daily Analysis & Wagering Strategies column when racing resumes on opening day, Saturday, Dec. 26 at the Great Race Place.

A part of the XBTV team, Siegel is widely-regarded as the West Coast's most astute veteran handicapper. His column will be accessible at santaanita.com or xpressbet.com every race day morning as a PDF document that can viewed, printed, or downloaded. The Santa Anita Workout Report will highlight recent drills from “In Today” runners and will include commentary, digitally-timed interior fractions, graded analysis and links to the video of the workouts that are housed in the extensive xbtv.com library.

“This new analytic tool will describe and evaluate each listed drill with the written word but, more importantly, it will easily allow the reader to view many of the actual workouts and form his or her own opinions,“ said Siegel, who was the first to publish workout reports back in the 1970s after co-founding Handicapper's Report. “The Santa Anita Workout Report should be an invaluable reference source for the serious player.”

The daily morning tab at Santa Anita often contains a hundred or more officially-timed workouts, especially on weekends. “Because of the sheer volume, it is difficult to record them all,” said Siegel, “but, truthfully, some workouts are benign, simply for maintenance, and are of little consequence to the handicapping process. The XBTV team focuses on those runners that hold the most interest to the horseplayer, such as maidens, horses returning from layoffs, those in gate drills, and stakes performers.”

The Santa Anita Workout Report, along with Siegel's popular Daily Analysis & Wagering Strategies, will be posted no later than 6 a.m. PDT each racing day and often times the evening before to allow horse players sufficient time to incorporate the information into their handicapping.
