Keeneland – Thursday October 28

We develop our picks through a process of regression analysis, evaluating past winners for today’s race types to identify significant attributes we can build bets around. Hopefully our insights are helpful to others as they build their own tickets.

RACE 5

For this maiden special weight, when past winners were NOT first time starters, they had strong advantages for either InTheMoney%, Speed, HorsesBeat% or Earnings.

None of today’s runners really express these strengths. So, the debut runners should have a good chance to get to the finish line first.

Clarkland Farm, owners of debut runner #4 Marr Tim, win 40% of the time with 2yr olds!

Trainer Brenden Walsh + owners Godolphin + jockey Tyler Gaffalione are a powerful combination with the Tapit filly # 6 Flower Garden.

We will use these two, along with the #5 in our multi-race tickets.
