Mule Heaven
Indeed, if there is a heaven for mules
it may be Ferndale, California. Located 264 miles North of San Francisco
and just off the Pacific Coast The Humboldt County Fair not only offer
the mules (and their two legged friends) a break from the Summer Heat but
also embraces our sport with two races on almost every day of the meet.
Fan can definitely expect excellent fields and spirited competition as
the entire mule community has made their way North for one of the favorite
meets of the year.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!
With the mule racing season in full swing this is the time of the year where those taking the time to study up on Mule Racing stand to reap the rewards of huge payoffs for astute handicapping. Key areas to look for at this time of year are mules that are either moving up or down in speed index and also those that have previously done well at the 220 yard distance which is unique to the Ferndale meet. For more information on speed index please be sure to check out www.muleracing.org.
