Alright, folks, let me tell you about this whole Kaitlin Free picks thing I got into. So, I heard about this Kaitlin Free, who’s supposed to be some kind of horse racing expert at Churchill Downs. I’ve always been a bit of a fan of horse racing, not super serious, but I enjoy the races, you know? So, I thought, why not see what this Kaitlin’s all about?
I started digging around, trying to find her picks. Turns out, she’s all over the place when it comes to Churchill Downs. She makes her picks for different dates, like for the races on September 17th, and she was doing it again for September 28th. Apparently, she’s a reporter and analyst for Churchill Downs. That means she must be at the races all the time, right?
My Process
- First, I found a few of her picks. I wrote them down, just to get a feel for what she was suggesting. I noticed she was talking about some horse called “DIALED IN A PANIC.” She mentioned that the Aguirre barn was doing pretty well, with a 38% rate. I’m not sure what a “barn” is in horse racing, but it sounded important.
- Then, I started comparing her picks with what other people were saying. I went on this site called Horse Racing Nation. They had a whole profile for this Kaitlin Free. I looked at the horses she was picking and tried to see if there was a pattern.
- Next, I watched some videos where she explained her picks. She talked about the Kentucky Derby, the Clark Stakes, and the Kentucky Jockey Club. She seemed to know a lot about the horses, the jockeys, and even the track conditions. It was a bit much, but I tried to keep up.
Honestly, after all this, I realized that following these picks is a whole lot of work. You gotta keep track of the horses, the trainers, the races, and a bunch of other stuff. I mean, I like horse racing, but this is another level.
So, did I make a fortune following Kaitlin Free’s picks? Nope, not really. But I did learn a lot about horse racing. And I realized that those folks, who are really into it, they put in a ton of effort. It’s not just about picking a horse because you like its name. There’s a lot more to it than that. Now, I have a lot of respect for these pros.
In the end, I’m still going to watch the races and maybe put down a few bucks here and there. But I’m not sure I’ll be following anyone’s picks religiously. It’s more fun for me to just enjoy the spectacle of it all. And hey, maybe I’ll even start recognizing some of those “barns” everyone keeps talking about!
