Free Videos of Saratoga And Del Mar Workouts Return to XBTV For 2024 Season
Santa Anita Press Box
ARCADIA, Calif. – XBTV will once again offer free video workouts from this summer’s prestigious Saratoga and Del Mar seasons, capturing, cataloging, and uploading content for racing’s marquee meets. For the past few years, the coast-to-coast teams have recorded over 3,000 workouts annually at Saratoga and Del Mar combined, providing handicappers and horsemen with access to the nation’s top horses and future stars. The XBTV workouts are available without cost to those with a 1/ST account.
With many prominent East Coast stables shipping to Saratoga earlier this Spring, XBTV has been on site since May recording workouts from top runners and uncovering potential champions to be unveiled this summer.
XBTV’s video workout library is available at no cost for 1/ST account holders. To set up a free 1/ST account, 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.
“Accurate and exclusive workout information is vital to the handicapping process at this time of the year, when at least 40 percent of the races at Saratoga and Del Mar are carded for maidens and include many high-profile first-time starters,” said Jeff Siegel, Xpressbet.com handicapper and one of the sport’s most respected analysts. “The ability to view the XBTV.com-produced videos at both tracks and evaluate them using your own expertise makes these races not only playable but often highly profitable.”
XBTV camera teams are trackside each morning working with the Saratoga and Del Mar Official Clockers to record as many of the workouts as possible as happens at Santa Anita Park and Gulfstream Park during the Winter and Spring. 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, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, and Saratoga Stables have separate portals on the XBTV.com site to follow their horses.
XBTV’s exclusive video workouts will return to Santa Anita Park and Gulfstream this fall prior to both track’s Autumn meets
