00 THEY HAVE A SECRET? Have you ever noticed that some

people, who come to the racetrack only on their birthdays or their lucky days, do as well or better than the professionals, who come each day? Why is this true? Do they have a secret?

Why do certain horses win the same key race year after year, especially at the smaller tracks? Do horses win on their birthdays? Do horses have "off days," when we should not bet them? Can we predict these off day performances?

These and other questions form the basis for this book on astro handicapping.

BASIC ASTROLOGICAL PRINCIPLES

To better understand this book, you should acquaint yourself with the following basic astrological principles:

The year is divided into twelve

signs or astro months. These are

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo,

Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius,

Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

The month of Aries begins at the spring equinox, first day of spring. This is usually on March 20, but it can be March 21. You would have to check an Ephemeris to be exact, as it varies

-1

slightly from year to year. The month of Taurus begins on April 19 or 20. In this manner, each astrological month roughly compares with the traditional calendar month, Aries is April, Taurus is May, Gemini ~s June, etc., but the' astrological month begins approximately ten days before the traditional calendar month, and that is the major stumbling block for those who do not know astrology.

The basis of the calendar is that the earth revolves around the sun in a circle, which is divided into 3600 and into twelve parts or astrological months. Because of the way that traditional astrology developed, prior to the science of astronomy, astrologers name the months after the sign occupied by the sun if viewed from the earth, rather than naming the months after the sign occupied by the earth as it travels around the sun.

If we were to rename the months, based upon earth's location if viewed from the sun (heliocentric astrology), there would be a lot of confusion for centuries as we would then say that the earth is in Libra (not Aries) in April. So, I favor keeping the names as they are and explaining what is really happening scientifically. The earth revolves around the sun and the sun is in Aries in April.

-2

The moon revolves around the earth and its path can also be divided into twelve parts, the same twelve signs. So, the moon goes from Aries to Taurus to Gemini, etc., and when it reaches Pisces, the next sign will be Aries.

The moon spends roughly two and one-half days in each sign, which means that the moon either spends two nights and three days (Monday, Monday night, Tuesday, Tuesday night, Wednesday) or three nights and two days (Sunday night, Monday, Monday night, Tuesday, Tuesday night) in each sign. The moon takes 27.32 days to make one complete revolution around the earth. For practical

For practical purposes, this means that if you go to the racetrack on a particular Saturday and win, you could or might win again if you returned on a Saturday four weeks later. Conversely, if you win on Saturday and try to repeat your win seven days later, you will probably lose. This is because the moon is in the same sign four weeks apart, but it is in a different sign one week apart.

I am going to omit any discussion of the planets and the other details of astrology, and we will be concentrating on the moon, the astro month (based upon the sun-earth axis or relationship), and the relationship or angle between the moon and the sun.

Consider the New Moon, when the three bodies (sun, moon, earth) are in

-3

a straight line and in that order, sunmoon-earth. The sun is lighting up the part of the moon that we do not see, so the moon is invisible to us on earth. In contrast, at the Full Moon, the order is sun-earth-mooh, and except during eclipses, the earth is not large enough to hide the fully lighted moon.

New Moons are approximately 29-30 days apart, and likewise, Full Moons are 29-30 days apart. This is a different cycle from the moon-in-the-sign cycle, which is 27-28 days.

The reason that these cycles are not the same length has to be explained: Suppose, we start with the New Moon in Pisces. Twenty-eight days later, the moon will again be in Pisces, but the sun will now be in the next sign Aries. We are at the position of new moon minus one (NM-1), which is my symbol for one sign before the new moon, not one day before. In order to reach the next new moon in Aries, we have to allow thirty days.

WINNING METHODS Now, what does all this have to do

with horses?

If a horse has a preference for a particular moon sign, then a pattern should appear, where that horse tends to win every twenty-eight days or four weeks apart. La Shard was a perfect example. He won an allowance race at Great Falls, Montana on July 14, 1991 on the moon in Virgo. On August 11, 1991, twenty-eight days later, he carne in second by a nose in an allowance race at Metrapark, Montana. On September 8, 1991, which was fifty-six days (eight weeks) from the date of the first race and twenty-eight days from the second race date, he won an allowance race at Metrapark, on the moon in Virgo. On October 5, 1991, eighty-three days from the first date, fifty-five days from the second date, and twenty-seven days from the third date, La Shard won a handicap race at Playfair, Washington, again on the moon in Virgo. Thus, La Shard performed four times in a row on the moon in Virgo, each time distance between performances being four weeks apart.

Of course, La Shard was a very sharp horse in 1991 at age five, and he also won on September 15, 1991, which was not on the moon in Virgo. So, one could argue that La Shard simply won every race in 1991 regardless of when it was scheduled. I do not subscribe to that view, since La Shard was defeated by both Gotto Go Charlie and Santim on August 2, 1991. (Santim was the horse that La Shard almost beat on August II.)

-5

We cannot do an experiment to find out, but I believe that had the races been scheduled differently, La Shard would have won fewer races. He "lucked out," because the races happened to be scheduled on his favorite moon sign Virg~

La Shard was a son of North Jet and I am currently doing research to follow the sons of North Jet.

The main problem with this technique is that we do not learn the moon preference of the horse until it has produced a race record and is ready to retire. Also most horses do not have such clean moon preferences as La Shard. Incidentally, horses whose names begin with the word "the" do tend to win on the moon in Virgo and "la" in French means "the." "Les," the plural form of "la," works also.

Another pattern that I study is the tendency of a horse to win races on the same date, year after year. This pattern is stronger in the smaller tracks. There are examples of champions winning the same race year after year, but it is difficult for them to do so because of the principle that youth prevails. There is always some up-and-coming younger horse who wins the race.

We can, however, make use of breeding lines to benefit from these patterns. For example, the period July 15-17 is extremely favorable to the Raise A Native breeding line as shown by the following examples. On July 17, 1963, Raise A Native set a new track record for 5~ furlongs. On the same date in 1994, Highland Crystal by Raise A Man won the River Downs Budweiser Breeders

-6

Cup. On July 15, 1995, Pembroke by Gone West, a son of Mr. Prospector out of the same line, set a world record for 5~ furlongs on the turf at Hollywood. On July 15-16, 1995, three Chisos horses won at Yakima Meadows, paying $94.80, $11.20, and $35.60. Chisos is a son of Alydar, who is a son of Raise A Native. Obviously, if those three Chisos horses had been racing well in the weeks prior to mid-July, they would not have been paying such huge amounts for a two dollar bet. So, something is happening with the Raise A NativeMr. Prospector and the Raise A NativeAlydar line in mid-July.

Saratoga is famous for many upsets. Is this because of the track or is this because of the specific dates that Sara-toga races?

The Breeders Cup Day is always held

in the month of Scorpio. Is Danzig really

the best sire or is he the best sire in

the month of Scorpio? Would it all look

different if the best horses were judged

in the month of Leo instead of in the

months of Taurus and scorpio as they are

now?

We have discussed horses that win races on the same day one year apart and horses that win races on the same moon sign twenty-eight days apart. What is the relationship between these two phenomena?

If we divide the year, 365.25 days, by the length of a lunar revolution, 27.32

-7

days, the result is 13 and 1/3 revolution In other words, if we go forward one year in time, we do not come back to the starting moon sign. In order to come back to the same moon sign, we need to travel thirteen lunar revolutions (less than a full year) or fourteen lunar revolutions (more than a full year). So if a horse has a specific moon preference, it might be more likely to win 355 days from the previous win than 365.

A common pattern is for the horse to win its "Never won three" one year from the maiden win. However, this is not necessarily a good bet. We do not know until after the race is over if this was a good horse that won its NW3 a year after the maiden as good horses should or if it was a bad horse that did not. In my experience, the shortyear is more valuable than the conventional year, because we know from the previous win (a shortyear ago) that the horse does like a particular moon sign.

Specific examples of patterns that relate to specific time distances as used in astrology are shown in Figures 1 through 8 and in Figures 10 and 11.

SEXTILES AND TRINES

In astrology, the distances of two

months (sextile) and four months (trine)

are considered to be benefic, agreeable,

harmonious. In degrees of the 3600

circle, these are 600 angles and 1200

angles.

-8

In horse racing, we can go back eight months to the time that would be considered a trine if we had gone four months forward. (I label this "octatrine" to indicate that it was eight months ago and not four months ago.) Similarly, I label the period ten months ago "decasextile," meaning a time period that is sextile to today, but occurred ten months ago, not two months ago.

Horses who won 59-60 days ago should win today because today's sun-moon angle is the same as the angle 59-60 days ago. The moons are sextile and the suns are sextile. An example is the following: Today is the New Moon in Pisces. 59-60 days ago was the New Moon in Capricorn. 118-120 days ago was the New Moon in Scorpio.

In order to understand the agreements, it is necessary to know the elements of the signs.

Signs Elements A Aries Fire T Taurus Earth A Gemini Air T Cancer Water A Leo Fire T Virgo Earth A Libra Air T A T

Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn

Water Fire Earth

A Aquarius Air T Pisces Water

-9

The alternating list of signs, beginning with Aries and including all fire and air signs, is labelled the set of A signs. The remaining list of signs, beginning with Taurus and including all earth and water signs, is labelled the ~ set of signs. Fire and air signs differ by two signs, are sextile, and agree. Fire signs differ from fire signs by four signs, are harmonious and trine.

Thus, the New Moon in Capricorn 59-60 days ago is sextile to today's situation of the New Moon in Pisces. The New Moon in Scorpio is trine to today's situation of the New Moon in Pisces.

BACK TO HORSES

We would bet the horse today that won a sextile ago on the New Moon in Capricorn and a trine ago on the New Moon in Scorpio. If Horse A won on the' New Moon in Scorpio and Horse B won on the New Moon in Capricorn, neither raced on the other date and they never raced against each other, we might then have to use nonastrological criteria to decide today's winner. We could eliminate horses that failed on these "New Moons in T," but we would not know what to do with a horse that didn't happen to be scheduled on the critical dates.

Before we consider Sea Hero, which may be a little complicated for those who do not know astrology, let us practice

-10

on a case of intermediate complexity. Using the list of signs with the elements, practice some combinations like the following example. The moon in Gemini in the month of Aries is the New Moon in Aries + two moon signs. It is trine to the moon in Libra in the month of Leo. The moon in Libra in the month of Leo is the New Moon in Leo + two moon signs. Do not proceed until you have mastered this and similar combinations. Try some combinations on your own.

Now let us consider a more complicated example of the case of Sea Hero that won the Kentucky Derby on May 1, 1993 on the astrological aspect, Moon in Virgo trine the Sun in Taurus (Full Moon Scorpio/Taurus minus two signs). We go back approximately eight months to the angle octatrine, when the Moon was in Capricorn trine the Sun in Virgo (Full Moon Pisces/Virgo minus two signs). Notice the trine relationships of all the entities involved and the angle is preserved. on both dates the moon was in the position FM-2. Sea Hero won the maiden on moon in earth trine sun in earth on the FM-2 position, and he won the Kentucky Derby on moon in earth trine the sun in earth on the FM-2 position.

Figure 11 gives a second example of the angle octatrine. Figure 12 lists the time distances for the sextiles and trines.

Moon. He won the third race of his career on August 4, 1995 on the exact same aspect, scorpio/Leo First Quarter Moon 357 days later. This is a very common pattern. Notice that in this case the shortyear from the maiden pattern was more powerful than first and second time lasix, but that is not always so. Notice also that Dag's Knight is 3 for 3 in the month of Leo. To find the shortyear from today going back less than a year, you add 8,9. 10 or 11 days.

Figure 3, Kyle's Ace, Example of a Bracket

A bracket is two wins in a row approximately a year ago with today's data between the two dates. Kyle's Ace won July 30 and August 12, 1994. Today' s date is August 5, 1995. Although Kyle's Ace won the NW2 (Non-winners of two) and the NW3 (Non-winners of three) at the inferior track, today's race

I at Yakima Meadows is for non-winners at the stand, so today's race represI-' Ul ents a very low class race. Those people who make use of the false theoryI of a "Horse for a course" will avoid Kyle's Ace, because he won those races

at Playfair and this is Yakima, but I prefer the concept of a horse for a time. In my view, Kyle's Ace likes all the days between July 30 and August 12. His win on August 5 at 4.4: 1 proved that he likes this time period.

Figure 4, Santa Fe Slewpy Both of Santa Fe Slewpy's wins were on the Example of 13 lunar revolutions, moon in Aries. I would continue to bet him not a shortyear on the moon in Aries, especially in the sum

mer months, but he could also win at other Santa Fe Slewpy won the race first time at times. Note that Santa Fe Slewpy did not Yakima Meadows, off the layoff, on July 17,' possess the Best Beyer figure at the dis1995. He won his maiden at Del Mar on July 27, tance, but he did possess the best Beyer 1994, 355 days ago (355 divided by 27.5 = 13 figure at the distance on cycle. This means LRs). Or, this is 365 days less 10. Now, that Santa Fe Slewpy possessed the highestbecause the first win was in the month of Leo . Beyer figure of all horses in the race for and the second win was in the month of Cancer, ') all dates when the moon was in Aries.

this is not a shortyear, where the sun is in

the same sign at both dates by definition.

Each horse won his race on February 26, 1995, but Occasionally Lucky won the higher class race or Occasionally Lucky won his race with a higher Beyer figure B81 compared to B70 for Mr. Investigator. This example may not be the best example because Occasionally Lucky is clearly the superior horse based on Beyer figures alone, without considering cycles.

Three Sees in the Wind This is an example of the longyear return 14 lunar revolutions or 382 days.

,In different years, the horse won the first two races of its career on the

exact same astrological aspect, the moon in Gemini trine the sun in Aquarius.

Notice, Pat Day, the Libra jockey, was on the horse on roth occasions. The

moon in Gemini trine the sun in Aquarius favors the Libra j~key. In 1986,

Pat Day won six races on this aspect on February 17, 1986.

so-so Beyer figures in his recent races, While his competitors were hitting Beyer 90's. Even I, the astrologer, ignored Rockamundo for that reason. Also, the moon on July 16, 1992 was not in the same sign on April 17, 1993. After Rockarnundo, I modified my definition of the gestation, so that in addition to betting the horse on the same moon sign, I, also, now bet the horse on 9 months +/-1 day regardless of where the moon falls.

~ Note on Gestation 'f

AIthough nine months is not the gestation period of a horse, the nine month time distance occurs in the win pattern of a horse. Why thi/i is so, we do not know, but we think it is because the moon is in the same sign on the two dates and that the horse does have a moon preference.

Another example of the Angle Octatrine

Peaks and Valleys won The Derby Trial on April 29, 1995, 236 days after winning a key race at age two. Note the similarity to Sea Hero's pattern. Sea Hero went from September 7 to April 31. Peaks and Valleys went from September 5 to April 29.

Extreme Edge is an extremely talented and fast Taj Alriyadh gelding. However, he is also extremely inconsistent. On July 20, 1994, he bled under lasix and failed to finish. On September 14, 1994, he did this again. On July 10, 1995, he turned in a miserable performance on the shortyear from July 20, 1994. On September 6, 1995, he did likewise on the shortyear from September 14, 1994,

In astrological terms, Extreme Edge cannot ha:qdle the moon in the signs Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius when the moon is attached to the T Full Moon, i.e. FM in months of Cancer and Virgo, precisely where the entire line by Sir Ivor excels, He has won on the FM Aquarius/Leo and prefers the A months, with a few exceptions. Remember that good horses have more exceptions to astrological pattern than mediocre horses because of "upside surprises" against soft fields, while very poor horses also have exceptions to pattern because of corruption in those races and lameness, which does not relate to pattern, (Some lameness does relate to pattern.)

If I am right about Extreme Edge, he will fail June 28 through July 3, 1996 and again August 24-29, 1996. He is a reliable bet in the months Leo and Libra.

Without using an ephemeris to check the position of the moon, it is possible to just count days as follows: Extreme Edge was bad July 20, 1994, July 10, 1995, and that gives July 0, 1996= June 30 (about). He was bad September 14, 1994, September 6, 1995, and that gives (remembering that September 6 = August 37) August 29, 1996 (about), If we used 10 day spans from septem

ber 14, 1994, that would give August 25, 1996

(about).

CONCLUSION

Although I was not able to answer all of the rhetcrical questions raised at the beginning of this little book, I believe that I have presented an introductory discussion of the relation ship of astrology to horse racing and that I have given specific examples of time distances between a horse's wins that relate to lunar revolutions of the moon and to standard distances in astrology (sextiles and trines). It is to be hoped that this exploratory book will lead to further and more complete studies in the future.
