Thanks for the summer.
Belmont: you’ve been warned.
DEL MAR + SARATOGA | SUMMER 2026
|
|
Dear DTL Crew,
Thank you for spending your Del Mar and Saratoga summer with us.
Whether you opened our free emails, watched a show, shared a link, became a Premier member or simply tuned in to see whether Frank’s horse had finished yet—you helped make this community.
We loved having you along for the big afternoons, the close finishes and those magical moments when Ciaran said, “Keep the ticket small,” before naming most of the stable area.
|
A big thank-you to
Adelphi Racing Club.
Their support helped make our summer coverage possible, and we’re grateful to the entire Adelphi team for supporting Double Trouble Live and the horseplayers who make it worthwhile.
They backed the show. You brought the atmosphere. Frank brought a horse that needed another sixteenth.

Some outstanding performances. Frank would like a separate leaderboard for “looked dangerous turning for home.” Ciaran wants credit for every winner mentioned somewhere in paragraph fourteen.

Our earlier comparison of six matched Del Mar Thursdays showed the combined Late Pick 3 and Late Double pools up 37.2% year over year, representing $848,421 in additional handle.
Our two Travers streams had approximately 33,000 combined views in the September 2 snapshot. Thank you for watching and sharing.
Ciaran is still checking whether that $848,421 includes his final backup ticket.
