Storyline
Enter the high-stakes world of professional horse race handicapping, where the only thing bigger than the bets are the characters placing them. From Churchill Downs to Saratoga to Santa Anita, each episode follows a group of handicappers as they travel the country in search of instant riches - and compete for the title of America's top handicapper. Written by Esquire Network
First things first, this show has some really great cinematography and the tracks that they go to are beautiful. Basically, the show follows a handful of handicappers as they crisscross the country playing in various tournaments with their ultimate goal of winning a spot in the National Handicapping Tournament. Of course winning money is just as important. "Playing the ponies" might not be for everyone, but even if you have never placed a bet in your life, your heart will start pumping as you watch the horse race to the finish line potentially winning these men and women a million dollars. The show is exciting, and the players are very entertaining, and I really hope that this show gets noticed enough for a second season. I found it by accident, so I think it needs to be promoted more as it airs on Esquire Network. It's always interesting to watch people do for a living, what you yourself were always discouraged to do.
