Up-and-coming youngsters are fun to follow as they begin their careers. You can keep tabs on exciting maiden winners. A few of those featured have gone on to win graded stakes – Gun Runner’s duo of Pappacap and Wicked Halo, as well as Wit, by Practical Joke.
Also, horses who ran well in defeat are worth following in expectation of better circumstances next time. Perhaps you saw that a runner had costly traffic trouble. Maybe a horse was compromised by an unfavorable race shape yet still performed creditably – a frontrunner after an early duel, or a closer on a speed-favoring track.
Stable Alerts is likewise valuable for monitoring horses who are not currently racing, but will be back in the future. Was one of your favorite Kentucky Derby hopefuls knocked off the trail? Or another horse of interest getting time off for a freshening? Those runners might pop up eventually on another circuit, but Stable Alerts will let you know wherever they resurface.
