Brothers and sisters in faith, let’s gather in this moment to reflect on the divine wisdom that can guide our choices, even in the earthly pursuit of horse racing. The track is a place where chance meets preparation, but I believe there’s a higher hand at work, whispering truths to those who listen with a humble heart.
When I study the races, I don’t just look at speed figures or past performances. I pray for discernment, asking for clarity to see the signs—the horse with fire in its stride, the jockey whose focus feels blessed, the trainer whose decisions align with something greater. Take tomorrow’s card at Belmont. The fifth race has a colt named Psalm of Speed. He’s not the favorite, but his last workout was a revelation: 48.2 for four furlongs, ears pricked, moving like he was carried by angels. His sire ran best on firm turf, and with rain clearing out tonight, the course will suit him. Compare that to the chalk, Golden Spur, who’s been fading late in his last three starts. The numbers say one thing, but faith points another way.
I also consider the stories behind the horses. Psalm’s trainer, a quiet man of devotion, has spoken about overcoming hardship this season. His stable’s been tested, yet this colt keeps improving. That feels like a testament to perseverance, a quality the Lord rewards. Meanwhile, the second choice, Thunder’s Call, comes from a barn chasing profits over purpose. Their runners often flatter to deceive when the pressure’s on.
My approach isn’t just charts and stats—it’s about aligning with what feels right in the spirit. I cap my bets at three races a day, never more, to stay grounded and avoid greed’s temptation. For Belmont, I’d look at Psalm of Speed to win in the fifth, maybe box him in an exacta with the longshot Faithful Stride, who’s got a closing kick if the pace collapses. Trust your instincts, but pray on it first. The Lord doesn’t pick winners, but He lights the path if you walk it faithfully.
What do you all think? Anyone else feel a higher guidance in their picks?
