From the Publisher

This summer issue captures the absolute joys of racing and the beautiful thing is that

nothing here is unique This game has a wonderful ability annually to replenish itself with optimism hellip if you can just wade through the negativity to get to it Think about it Who doesnrsquot love Del Mar Saratoga 2-year-olds on the rise turf racing the Queenrsquos Plate or the run-up to the Hambletonian and All American Futurity If you donrsquot like these annual staples of summer to paraphrase the late great baseball skipper Sparky Anderson ldquothen you donrsquot like ice creamrdquo We spend millions in this industry trying to invent something that people will like Then summer comes around and reminds us that all we had to do was wait for it This game mirrors the carousel that takes children on a daily journey around beautiful Congress Park in Saratoga Springs We enjoy the circle of racing life every time it spins our way - JP

THE TEASER

From a shockingly bad statistic to big-house bets to ice-cold brews eventually it will all make sense

Buzz Me Up Jockey Jockey Roberto Morales was busted for having not onehellipnot twohellipnot threehellipnot four but five electronic devices in his possession at Prairie Meadows Racetrack amp Casino A random search of four jockeys as they arrived at the track prior to the June 6 card produced three clean riders and one lsquobingorsquo Morales was charged with three criminal offenses possession of three working and two non-working buzzers illegal possession of a firearm and illegal possession of a prescription drug Morales was arrested posted bond and was released

The 24-year-old rider is in his first season of riding at Prairie Meadows where he had had 79 mounts with just four winsmdashone win less than the number of buzzers in his collection Teaser canrsquot help but assume that in most races Morales must have mistakenly been using the two non-working devices Orange is the New Bettor Orange is the New Black is a hit

television series on Netflix but they havenrsquot yet produced an episode to match what went on behind bars down under in Aussie-land where caged drug boss

Tony Mokbel (pictured) was busted making huge bets from inside Victoriarsquos most secure jail

Teaser definition A male horse used at breeding farms to determine whether a mare is ready to receive a stallion Also perhaps the most unfulfilling occupation in the universe

Apparently coded messages were intercepted and showed that the big guy made five-figure betting plunges on major race meetings Guess he didnrsquot have access to an ADW account Mokbel had just been released from a restricted management unit at the prison where he was confined for breaking the nose of a fellow inmate The disturbance reportedly was sparked by friction over betting Speaking from experience Teaser understands The government was surprised to learn of the size of Mokbelrsquos wagers Previously the government had stripped him of over $50 million Apparently authorities neglected to search Mokbelrsquos mattress and cookie jar Betting the ponies is not a new pastime for Mokbel In the 1990s he was the leader of the Tracksuit Gang (what a great name) which won millions in huge plunges The moniker developed from outfits worn by runners who placed large wagers at various locations There also were allegations of improper links with successful jockeys and trainers Which is strange because as everyone knows in the US jocks and trainers are the worst touts

Mokbel once regarded as the largest drug importer and distributor in Melbourne fled Australia for Greece in 2006 after a police investigation into gangland murders In 2012 he was jailed for 30 years Herersquos hoping the Aussie screws arenrsquot too hard on our fellow horseplayer In racing they say time only counts when yoursquore serving it Guess Mokbel was just looking for an entertaining way to pass some of that remaining 24 years California Moan What a shame that following the Belmont Stakes California Chrome co-owner Steve Coburn went postal on NBC We all had become so fond of his Wilfred Brimley lsquostache and homespun fall-off-a-cliff-into-a-pile-of-clover story that we couldnrsquot help but to root for his horse Win the Kentucky Derby on your birthday Crsquomon Whorsquos does that Guess by June 7 Steversquos fortune just plum ran out If Coburnrsquos hot streak had continued Belmont wouldrsquove run out of cold brewskis instead of hot dogs by 2 pm

10

That way the lsquoChrome Cowboy would have had time to sober up before experiencing his lifersquos most disappointing moment quickly followed by a mic in his face Losing sucks We all know that But if Steversquos going to be in the racing game hersquod better get used to the feeling In this sport the very best win about three times out of 10 Of course Coburn can be forgiven for being unfamiliar with defeat His lsquoChrome had reeled off six consecutive stakes wins just before he lost half-a-hoof and the Belmont Stakes Coburnrsquos apology on ABCrsquos Good Morning America the following

Tuesday was heartfelt sincere and incredibly well calculated (Click Diane Sawyer below for the recap) He did the right thing in giving props to the Tonalist connections but his mea culparsquos brilliance came when he pointedly apologized to his wife at least three times Smart man Steve ya wet the bed on national TV but darn it we still love ya And that horsey you gothellipwell we canrsquot wait to see him pick lsquoem up and lay lsquoem down again You on the other hand shouldnrsquot be pickinrsquo lsquoem up and layinrsquo lsquoem down as often

MAN Orsquo BEAR The apparently softer half of the Reade Baker charges in comparison to Asserting Bear though the trainer says this one has shown more talent He faded in the Plate Trial at a furlong shorter in his only start this year Itrsquos a big form cycle move for me ldquosecond-off-the-layoffrdquo but only if I had seen more in the Plate Trial about which to get excited Hersquos not impossible as he was a fairly productive 2YO but I prefer others with more seasonal foundation HEART TO HEART Romping turf mile win at Keeneland impressed mightily that day over a respected Jessicarsquos Star ndash who has gone on to win the Iowa Derby since then But beyond 1 mile in distance hersquos either lost ground or position in all 3 career tries ndash which makes the 10 furlongs of the Queenrsquos Plate beyond his best reach Twice hersquos failed to keep up late with Asserting Bear in routes On pure brilliance though hersquos no doubt among the top 2-3 potential players in this field at the right distance The Silver Deputy on the bottom of his pedigree has shown through as a mile is his best trip His best chance is if the pace is soft and he is allowed to get brave ndash even so yoursquod prefer more of a grinder style in that role at 10F

attempting to kick clear to no avail The pace should set up a bit more contentious in the Queenrsquos Plate given the field size composition of the lineup You canrsquot help but wonder that he missed his golden chance in the Trial the way things set up Even though his two best races have been 9-furlong stakes dates at Woodbine his pedigree and tendency to flatten out late in his races makes you peg him below the cusp of win contenders at this trip He would be the most surprising of the Mark Casse-trained trio to win in my estimation hellip considering hersquos been 16-1 16-1 and 22-1 in his stakes route tries for a barn that always takes money at Woodbine TOWER OF TEXAS Respect runs deep for Hall of Fame trainer Roger Attfield (picture) and the pedigree and style of the Plate Trialrsquos third-place finisher By Kentucky Derby champ Street Sense and with Belmont winner Danzig Connection as his damsire therersquos no reason the 1 frac14 miles wonrsquot suit him as well or better than anyone in this field Attfield

reaches for US Hall of Fame rider John Velazquez a tandem that has excelled at Gulfstream and Keeneland over the years Tower of Texas never has missed the superfecta in 8 starts and his keep-coming style makes you confident he can keep that streak alive From a betting standpoint hersquoll figure more in the exotics underneath with a 1-for-8 win ledger and fact that the connections will be harder-played in the international simulcast market due to familiarity ASSERTING BEAR This colt owns the distance capability to win the Plate ndash witnessed by his 9F score in the Coronation Futurity at 2 But inconsistency has been the cause for pause Hersquos been off the board in half of his 10 starts and yet to pair up victories While best

in the Marine by a neck his DQ that day for interference was debatable Asserting Bear has a nice versatile running style

that bodes well over classic distances and a pedigree top and

17

bottom to keep chugging along when others wilt I thought he was primed to be a serious threat in the Blue Grass when he had one of his multiple misfires Which Asserting Bear shows up Sunday is anyonersquos guess ndash but respect his chances even if your confidence fails to gel COLTIMUS PRIME While he performed well enough hersquos disappointed in consecutive allowance bids at 3-5 and 1-1 odds He netted a second and then a fortuitous victory when Athenian Guard ducked in wildly on June 8 Still I remain pretty high on this grinder who has some pace ability and style to chug along at a classic distance Jockey Jesse Campbell lulled them to sleep on the lead in last yearrsquos Queenrsquos Plate aboard Midnight Aria and knowing that figures to keep him much closer to the pace than in his last start Rider and horse appear to work well together and therersquos just something about Coltimus Prime thatrsquos like a bad girlfriend you donrsquot want to let go ofhellipeven if they drive you a little bit nuts

Win Contenders

LEXIE LOU I wonrsquot kid anyone that I predicted her Woodbine Oaks performance It was strictly

out of left field and equally out of this world Lexie Lou always was a solid filly within her division and one that was a legit Woodbine Oaks contender But she never even came onto my Queenrsquos Plate radar until the furlong marker of the Woodbine Oaks Now shersquos a full-fledged threat When the light bulb flips on horses can do amazing things Think about 1999 and how Charismatic was a second-tier sophomore until he freaked in Keenelandrsquos Lexington Two weeks later he was a Kentucky Derby champ four weeks later a Preakness hero and he almost won the US Triple Crown Cassie has been down the Plate path in recent years with fillies finishing fourth a year ago with Spring in the Air and third in 2012 with Dixie Strike His 2014 hand could be his best as Casse looks to notch an all-important Queenrsquos Plate victory

Casse Closing In On First Queenrsquos Plate

2013 ndash 3rd Dynamic Sky (6-1)

Lexie Lou was faster than the boys in the same-day Plate Trial and

18

the filly division this year rated very strongly in Countdown with the likes of Llanarmon Paladin Bay and Wild Catomine all much-respected Lexie Lou boasts a solid chance at becoming the eighth filly to win the Queenrsquos Plate and her chances improve greatly if she can spy speedy Heart to Heart given her wide draw

MATADOR Just as was the case with stablemate Lexie Lou Matadorrsquos final Queenrsquos Plate prep could not have been more impressive After 4 straight bids in graded stakes he dropped in class to the open-company allowance ranks and got the kind of confidence boost that can propel a good horse far forward Itrsquos fair to wonder if the Malibu Moon colt can extend to 10 furlongs based on his damside pedigree but hersquos bounced out of his last win with a series of strong workouts that indicates hersquos set for a career-best If he can handle the distance and patient-riding Julien Leparoux will give him every chance this could be among Cassersquos best chances at Plate glory And a shrewd final

prep placement might deserve all the credit if hersquos successful Sunday

AMIrsquoS HOLIDAY (pictured) As a major proponent of pace set-ups and form cycles I canrsquot help but like the way Amirsquos Holiday has been campaigned this spring with

the Queenrsquos Plate as the goal The Grey winner and Sovereign Award finalist at age 2 has come back at 3 with two solid preps against open

company His fourth in the G3 Lexington at Keeneland was outstanding against a field that was exceptional for that race in recent history And he might have been best in the Marine upon his return to Woodbine when placed second via disqualification The big hurdle between him and trainer Josie Carrollrsquos third Plate win will be his ability to finish the deal late from a bad post Amirsquos Holiday has had a tendency to hang a bit in the stretch failing to deliver knockout punches His workout pattern has been appealing since the Marine and the third start of his form cycle at this kind of trip ought to make

19

him fit fresh and dangerous for a barn that knows how to get it done Luis Contreras teamed with Carroll to win this race with Inglorious just 3 years ago

WE MISS ARTIE Not always will the winter book favourite deliver on promise at age 3 but this Artie Schiller colt has held his Queenrsquos Plate hopes high ever since winning Keenelandrsquos G1 Breedersrsquo Futurity on Polytrack last October His 3 starts on turf or synthetic this year have been nearly flawless including wins in the Plate Trial and G3 Spiral as well as a hard-fought second in the Kittenrsquos Joy at Gulfstream on the lawn

Smashed to 1-5 favoritism in the Plate Trial he did not have the greatest trip in his first attempt vs fellow Ontario-sired runners We Miss Artie raced inside behind a slow pace and could have been bottled-up if unlucky But top US rider Javier Castellano got a super-smooth run inside when it counted

and his mount did what he needed to We Miss Artie was not asked for his life in the local prep but instead ran more of a turf-miler kind of race ndash sit sit sit tackle late And thatrsquos really his game more so than a sustained closer from far back His papa was an exceptional turf miler and this colt appears to tucker out some if closing into a faster pace

He wants a slow pace like a turf race and then let out a notch for a short burst that can catapult him to the front Irsquom not certain this Plate sets up quite that way in terms of pace and at short odds Irsquod be willing to take some swings at beating We Miss Artie even with a complete appreciation for his resume

NEW

DAWN AT

DEL MAR

By Jeff Nahill

Like the rest of the Southern California horse racing scene this will be a year of transition at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club The meet which opens July 17 (a non-traditional Thursday as opposed to Wednesday openers of the past) will be the last one for the much-maligned synthetic Polytrack as dirt will make its return to the main track in 2015 Meanwhile 2014 will feature a new turf course The old grass was ripped out last fall and new sod was put in this spring The turf course was also widened in anticipation of hosting the 2017 Breeders‟ Cup So there are lots of new things ldquowhere the turf meets the surfrdquo like out-of-state trainers Mark Casse Michael Stidham and Philip Oliver but there is plenty of old too like stalwart trainers Bob Baffert John

Sadler Jerry Hollendorfer Doug O‟Neill and Peter Miller Plus the jockey colony is led by Rafael Bejarano who is still recovering from a horrific spill at Santa Anita but expected to return early in the Del Mar meet Joe Talamo and Corey Nakatani ndash along with a few Hall of Famers named Gary Stevens Mike Smith and Kent Desormeaux Like any track Del Mar offers its own set of challenges and over the past few years that mainly consisted of how the Polytrack would play One day speed might hold and another day rally-wide horses would rule the roost It mainly depends on the weather

24

and how much water is put on the main track The general rule of thumb is the cooler it is the tighter the track is and speed is likely to do better This seems particularly true on Fridays when Del Mar offers its popular 4 pm first post On the other hand if it‟s warmer the surface tends to get looser and closers tend to do better Also if you see the water trucks on the track ndash or check the watering schedule at wwwdmtccom ndash the track might get tighter for an upcoming race ldquoThe (Polytrack) definitely has a mind of its ownrdquo said Tom Robbins executive vice president of the DMTC ldquobut we think (track superintendent) Richard Tedesco has learned to manage it We just don‟t want it to be a conveyor belt for speed or good for horses coming from out of the clouds all of the timerdquo Does all of this make Del Mar more difficult to handicap than other tracks

ldquoI don‟t think it‟s any harderrdquo said Jon Lindo Southern California handicapper radio host and horse owner ldquoEvery track has its little idiosyncrasies The tricky part this year will be going from the dirt at Santa Anita to the Polytrack at Del Mar In the past we had that buffer at Hollywood Park which was the in-between surface because it was almost like dirt but it was a synthetic surfacerdquo And some horses will be coming from the new two-week Los Alamitos thoroughbred meet which occurs right before the opening of Del Mar Los Alamitos features a dirt track which horsemen adore ndash as witnessed by California Chrome‟s success in winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes this spring ldquoYou‟re going cold turkey going into this meetrdquo said Lindo ldquoThe Southern California handicapper has been handed a lot of variables in the last five years It‟s nothing

25

new We just have to adjust and pay attention ldquoI think we‟re going to see a lot of form reversals and a lot of horses that were compromised by the style that Santa Anita plays (to speed horses) They will wake up at Del Mar The first couple weeks will be a great opportunity to cash some ticketsrdquo Terry Turrell a handicapper for Horse Player NOW is a big believer in the ldquohorses for coursesrdquo theory ldquoI tend to look at how horses have run at Del Mar in the pastrdquo Turrell saod ldquoPlus I like to look at turf horses moving over to the synthetic For whatever reason they seem to do well ldquoSometimes Del Mar baffles me in the way it plays but Santa Anita baffles me too I‟m looking for a level playing field There is no replacement for observation That‟s the most important thing How is a

horse handling the trackrdquo It‟s no secret who the top trainers on the circuit are as Baffert led last year‟s meet with 22 winners on the Polytrack He was followed Sadler (20) Hollendorfer (16) O‟Neill (16) and Miller (11) Miller is an interesting study in that he always goes hard at Del Mar since he loves to win (and cash a bet) as he calls Carlsbad home which is just north of the Del Mar race track With the closing of Hollywood Park Miller has returned to San Luis Rey Downs in Bonsall (northeastern San Diego County) to train a lot of his horses away from the clockers‟ view Miller was hot at the end of the new Santa Anita springsummer meet but Lindo thinks he will hit Del Mar just as hard ldquoYou know Peter Miller is going to win a bunch of races opening weekrdquo Lindo said ldquoHe has another wave of horses He‟s loaded ldquoBaffert splits his stable in the spring between Churchill Downs

26

and Santa Anita You know he‟s gonna come out firing ldquoHollendorfer has a bunch of horses and a lot of horses from Golden Gate so his horses may not have as much of an adjustment (to the synthetic track) You look for patterns and the guys who traditionally point for this meet until you get a line on how this track is going to help what horsesrdquo The top Polytrack jockeys last year were Bejarano (30 wins) Martin Garcia (24) Edwin Maldonado (22) Victor Espinoza (21) and Joe Talamo Until Bejarano returns that will open mounts up for the likes of apprentice Drayden Van Dyke South Florida import Elvis Trujuillo Fernando Perez and Desormeaux A big handicapping tool can be found on Del Mar‟s website where Polycapping lists all the past races on the synthetic and turf surfaces There also are many public handicappers listed with their free picks

The real guessing game at the beginning of the meet will come on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course after it was completely redone for the first time since its inception in 1960 The course was widened to 80 feet all the way around and some banking was added in the turns The chute for the start of the longer races was made more gradual instead of the sharp elbow which caused many a problem for inside horses year after year coming by the toteboard for the first time The composition of the grass remains Greg Norman-1 Bermuda but other strains that snuck in there over the years are gone

Also gone are the days of seven and eight entries for turf sprints Sometimes the also-eligible list was as long as the number of horses running The course can now accept up to 14 entries depending on the rail settings which have also changed In the past rails were zero seven and 14 feet Now Del Mar will change the settings in increments of six feet from zero to 30 feet depending on how chewed up the course is getting ldquoWe have a similar amount of races in the first condition book as we‟ve had in the pastrdquo said Robbins ldquoObviously the course will be better next year than this year but we‟ve had ideal growing weather this year We had sunshine and warmth as opposed to the May gray and June gloom of the past ldquoIt‟s going to be a surprise to all of us on how the horses run and if there are any biasesrdquo Lindo doesn‟t think the new turf course will be much different than

TIME By Brian Nadeau

Yoursquove waited over 10 months Itrsquos finally here Saratoga is about to open

If yoursquore a racing fan and avid handicapper like me yoursquove probably been counting down the days until Saratoga Race Course opens its doors for the 146th season This year that day comes on July 18 but itrsquos never too early to get a leg up on the Spa meet

So with that in mind letrsquos take a look at a few things to remember handicapping angles and betting strategies in the hopes of making Saratoga 146 your best meet

ever

31

Slow Down You Move Too Fast

The entire purpose of this article is to celebrate Saratoga while eagerly anticipating its arrival and giving out a few things to look for yet the first topic of discussion is the author telling you to take your time and ease into the meet gingerly

Yes thatrsquos exactly right

Far too often the novice hits Saratoga running with a chicken- with-his-head-cut-off mentality The gates open they run in and immediately start firing hand over fist at each and every race

Why

If yoursquore reading this piece I would assume that a) yoursquore a competent handicapper and b) you want to get better and constantly work on your craft something we should all try and do each and every day

You should know by now you wonrsquot beat this game playing every race day-in and day-out Contrary to popular belief the Spa is a bit more marathon than boutique now at 40 days Therersquos simply no reason to rush or get too caught up with the Opening Day madness and freshness of the

meet Pick your spots take your time and like you should do on any given day play to your strengths and stay within your bankroll

If you have $5000 earmarked for the entire meet why spend $1000 of it on the first weekend Theyrsquoll run about 400 races at the Spa this year Take your time pick your spots and let things come to you without chasing Your bottom line will be a lot better off in the end and yoursquoll also have plenty of firepower to take advantage when the opportunity arises

Therersquos no worse feeling at the racetrack than wasting money on races you donrsquot like taking away from your bankroll when you find a spot when you really should be sending it in

Know Your Circuit

If yoursquove taken part in our popular Night School sessions over the past four years yoursquove certainly heard the ―know your circuit adage repeatedly Nothing is more important when betting the races but I want to take it even a step deeper as Saratoga beckons

One of the things Irsquoll be concentrating on is which barns

32

were hot and which barns were cold as the Belmont Spring Summer meet comes to a close

Oftentimes the inexperienced handicapper sees a hot barn to end the Belmont meet and thinks that trend will continue at the Spa Or they also reason in reverse with a cold Belmont barn When you think about it it makes perfect sense If you canrsquot win in Elmont why all of the sudden would you start winning in Saratoga Springs

But there are a few reasons why you can expect a change of fortune in the coming weeks

First letrsquos take a look at the hot barn that has been firing on all cylinders at Belmont especially towards the end of the meet What the novice doesnrsquot consider is that all those horses who have won recently now have to step up and face better horses at Saratoga And I donrsquot mean that just because the overall product is better

Recent Belmont winners have to face tougher conditions as well

The horse that just broke through the N1X now has to face saltier N2X runners The 35k N2L claimer now must face N3L foes And so on and so forth So while itrsquos nice to have a hot barn with horses in form itrsquos not as easy a progression as people might think

On the other hand the horses that have been struggling or hitting the money without winning at Belmont now get to face a new set of

horses many of which will be stepping up to their level for the first time At Saratoga itrsquos common to see a N1X with more than a few last-out MSW graduates And

anyone who has been in this game for a while knows that facing winners for the first timemdashno matter how good you looked blasting maidensmdashis never an easy thing to do

The Human Aspect

As for trainers handicappers also should take notice of the barns at Belmont that might have been picking up steam at the end of the

33

meet The one that immediately comes to mind to me is Rudy Rodriguez who was somewhat shockingly hitting at about 7 for much of the Belmont meet Rodriguez started oodles of logical horses but few found the winnerrsquos circle But as the meet started to wind down hersquos raised his percentage to about 12 (through July 2) and his barn is finally showing signs of life I fully expect Rudy to come out firing at Saratoga and will play him aggressively early in the meet until Irsquom proven wrong

Kiaran McLaughlin is another barn Irsquoll be looking to at Saratoga after a very slow

Belmont McLaughlin is just 6-for-42 (through July 2) at Belmont paltry numbers by his standards Irsquom looking for a big reversal of form at the Spa Irsquoll be concentrating on McLaughlinrsquos older horses while staying away from his first-time starters as they usually need a race before firing their best shots Keep an eye on Bay Of Plenty who has the look of a future star who could be a late-season 3-year-old stakes winner

Another way to approach the human aspect is to ask ―Which barns perennially point to Saratoga

We know Todd Pletcher points his best 2YOs to the Spa and that Linda Rice is going to win more than her fair share of turf sprints Thatrsquos not splitting the atom or unearthing something new But what about some of those under-the-radar barns with modest stock that love to fire at the Spa

Roy Lerman is a name not many are familiar with but hersquos going to pop on the turf at about $30 like he does every year Tony Dutrow will start limited horses but his percentage will be high and you can trust that if you see his name in the entries his horse is in to win Tom Morley doesnrsquot have a national following yet but does very good work with limited stock especially in the New York-bred ranks Jimmy Bond usually gets going at Belmont but was a bit slow into stride this summer so expect him to have a big Saratoga

Chad Brown is not under-the-radar but the nearby Mechanicville native always points to Saratoga

34

This year perhaps even more so

A look at the Belmont standings (through July 2) reveals that Brown has started just 61 horses at the meet That tells me that hersquos going to be loaded for bear at Saratoga and that itrsquos quite possible hersquos been holding a few horses back for the Spa Brown has hummed right along at 31 at Belmont but I really expect him to throw everything in his barn at the Spa this year While 31 at Saratoga isnrsquot likely I give him a huge chance at the trainerrsquos title Pletcher and all

The Wagering Side mdash What to Play

You didnrsquot think I could talk about the greatest race meet in the world without giving out some wagering advice did you Saratoga once again will offer deep and competitive fields with large pools and a full wagering menu So which bets should you focus on that will give you the most bang for your buck

While it all depends on the size of your bankroll Irsquoll be taking a long hard look at the Pick 5

this year as it will be the first time it will be offered at Saratoga At a $050 base play it gives the little guy a chance and the pool size should be very healthy Belmont routinely saw its Pick 5 pools range from $125k-200k and I donrsquot think itrsquos out of line to think Saratoga will be closer to the $300k range

To me the Pick 4 is the best bet in all of racing and at Saratoga the

pools will be enormous (Saturdayrsquos are guaranteed at $500k) so it gets magnified that much more Again at just the $050 increment the little guy has more than a fighting chance But handicappers still make a few errors

when approaching this bet ndash none more so than the size of their play

Far too many think that because you can play for just $050 you should throw out a boxcar ticket in the $64-$96 range and hope for chaos Occasionally I fall victim myself But we need to be honest

35

with ourselves and handicap the overall sequence and then decide ―Does this warrant a big play or should I play a smaller ticket and punch it four or five times

Donrsquot fall into the boxcar trap and look for something thatrsquos not there There are days when $96 is warranted but they arenrsquot as prevalent as you might think For me Irsquom much more comfortable playing a $16 ticket four times when the favorites look logical as opposed to a big ticket just because the races look wide open Yoursquoll hit the $16 ticket four times for $95ish each far more often than the $96-for-$1400 attempts

Tab the Tote

While Irsquom extremely hesitant to take ―tips at the track or listen to the constant fodder of ―This guy really likes his horse today I fully admit that checking the toteboard at Saratoga has plenty of benefit especially in the 2-year-old races

The pools are big enough that wagering action matters Where a $100 win bet at Delaware Park might turn a 6-1 into a 3-5 in the opening minutes the pools at Saratoga will have substantial action early and often so itrsquos

important to take note of who is taking money and who isnrsquot

But again you need to know your circuit You shouldnrsquot care when a Pletcher-Repole debut runner opens at 7-5 Why Because they all open at 7-5 Instead you should be looking over the board and take note when a Nick Zito firster opens at 7-2 right into the teeth of the Pletcher-Repole hotshot Nick rarely ever wins with his 2-year-olds (save one year back in 2006) so tote action on one of his would be a big deal

Conversely if you see a Pletcher 2YO making his or her debut and opens at an icy mutuel you should also take notice While itrsquos not the end-all Pletcher rarely wins with a juvenile firster over about 4-1 While these are not hard and fast rules Irsquoll toss any Pletcher firster that is over 4-1 and Irsquoll do it with confidence If they beat me then Irsquoll simply golf clap and move on understanding that playing them all would be a losing proposition

Yes Saratoga is upon us but take your time before jumping in and remember to go over your checklist and play to your strengths Your bottom line will benefit from it

Saratoga by the Numbers

One type of race that is unique to

Saratoga in terms of peoplersquos zest

for handicapping the Spa versus

other tracks is two-year-old maiden

races

For some the conventional wisdom

might be to dismiss

runners from high-

profile connections

as overbet but the

good trainers and

jockeys end up with the good

horses and actually win more than

the odds suggest they should

Of course because of takeout the

ROI on any one angle even a

winning one from an expectation

standpoint isnrsquot necessarily

positive

And so it goes with the looking at

trainer and first-time pedigree in

two-year-old maiden races

sprinting on the dirt at Saratoga

Both help point to winners but

neither shows a flat-bet profit

The top-ranked trainer for two-

year-old races has an impact value

of 183 with an ROI of -3

Debut pedigree info is good for a

12 Impact Value but the hot sires

get overbet as the ROI is -22

Pedigree shines brighter in two-

year-old maiden grass races with

an impact value on turf breeding of

362 and an ROI of +725 The

top debut pedigree rating is similar

to dirt at 127 but the

ROI is a friendlier -

25

So how do you use this

information to your

advantage

I wouldnrsquot be looking to make any

prime win bets in a two-year-old

race without some trusted morning

info as well but not everyone has

access to that (or wants to pay for

it)

However these stats can point you

in the right direction of logical

contenders as well as potential

longshots to use in multi-race

wagers or underneath in exotics

based on pedigree

37

Now letrsquos look at some

more general trends last

year at Saratoga As

wersquove seen track to track

throughout the year the

best last-out Brisnetcom

Speed Rating and the

top Prime Power horse

are gangbuster in non-

maiden dirt sprints

Betting the best last-out

Brisnetcom Speed Rating in dirt

sprints in 2013 at Saratoga would

have resulted in a +85 ROI and

doing the same with Prime Power

was +1

Dirt routes are not nearly as

powerful The Impact Value for

both is still above 1 but the ROI

for each category is -30

Turf sprints favor early speed with

the top EP pace rated horses

winning twice as often as their

odds suggested they would with a

flat bet ROI of +40 The best

last-out Speed Rating also did well

with a 220 Impact Value and -1

ROI A horse with early foot and

good recent form is a must use

sprinting on the turf at Saratoga

The Spa gets its share of rain and

just as two-year-old handicapping

needs to be a part of your arsenal

when attacking Saratoga so too

does off-track handicapping and

no surprise that speed kills there as

well

The best last-out Brisnetcom

Speed Rating in off-track non-

maiden sprints last year at

Saratoga had an Impact Value of

254 with a 315 ROI

2-YEAR-OLD

HANDICAPPING

By Jerry Shottenkirk

andicapping 2-year-olds is a

great challenge for horse-

players mainly due to such

a lack of history

No division presents a wider array

of horses At no point will there be

such a difference between the best

and the worst When horses get

older they‟ve long-established

what kind of class they have or

don‟t have You don‟t have that

luxury when you play 2-year-olds

Everyone has his or her own rules

when it comes to the juveniles

The following are some of mine

that can help you in baby races

The Tote

Avoid first-time starters that are

heavy favorites in straight plays If

you see a Todd Pletcher-trained 1-

9 shot at Belmont move along

unless you use in multi-race (or

horizontal) plays Chances are a

horse like this can run It‟s

probably regally bred handled by a

Hall of Fame trainer and likely cost

several hundred-thousand dollars

at auction But it‟s not worth the

risk It‟s a great sport but it‟s

gambling and that‟s not taking a

good gamble

There are 2-year-olds

and then there are 2-year-old

first-time starters

In a few starts a 2-year-old can

give somewhat of an indication of a

talent level Many start in maiden

special weights races ndash the high

end of the maiden ranks If they

H

40

win they move on to face winners

And if they run well but don‟t win

they likely return to similar MSW

conditions Those that are clearly

outrun are dropped to the maiden-

claiming ranks A drop

from maiden special

weights to maiden

claiming is one of the

most significant class

drops in racing

Seeking a Clear Path

An inside post is generally an

enemy to a 2-year-old Some can

overcome but many don‟t get their

best run early on when near the

rail If they are a little tardy at the

start it‟s difficult to make up

ground especially when the field

ahead moves over to save ground

So many times an inside-drawn 2-

year-old is steadied or checked

The young ones aren‟t used to that

and instead of a slight steady

most of the time they wind up

slamming on the brakes Unless a

juvenile is a potential superstar it‟s

difficult to overcome such an

event especially at the shorter

distances Pure and simple they

don‟t recover

I‟d much rather go with a far

outside post than a rail post when

it comes to handicapping 2-year-

olds When weighing the prospect

of losing ground vs losing

momentum I‟ll take

losing ground every

time Even a horse

from the 11 or 12 post

has a good chance at

an unabated run

Generally they weed

themselves out by the

time they reach the turn

This of course depends mainly on

the distance of the race

It‟s not as easy to overcome a far

outside post when the race begins

close to the turn In 5 frac12 or 6-

furlong races over most mile ovals

it‟s possible to get a good and

steady run at it

Itrsquos Not a Real Race Itrsquos P-r-a-c-t-i-c-e

I don‟t put a great deal of stock in

workouts prior to a first start

unless they stand out If a 2-year-

old is breezing 46 seconds for a

half-mile you‟re probably looking

at a horse with some talent

A drop from maiden

special weights to

maiden claiming

is one of the most

significant class

drops in racing

41

A steady work pattern over a

couple of months generally gets a

horse ready for its first start

Usually only a few of those works

are from the gate Horses get

approved from the gate by the

track‟s starter and maybe have a

couple of other workouts from the

gate Too many gate works should

put up a red flag If a

horse has five or six

gate workouts it‟s

usually a sign of a

problem leaving there

Works have more

weight to them when

the races become

longer There doesn‟t

have to be a long list

of impressive works when a horse

is running a little more than a half-

mile Not many 2-year-olds wait

until the two-turn races pop up

later in the season However 6- or

7-furlong races are on the schedule

a few months after the initial 2-

year-old races are carded and

works become more important

Class Arrives Later

The juveniles that have revved up

for 4 12-furlong races generally

aren‟t the type you‟ll see in the

classics (There is an important

exception you will read below)

Races of 5 12 6 or 7 furlongs are

the more likely spots for first-time

starters that will wind up in the

more significant distance races as

3-year-olds

However that‟s not to

bad-mouth the more

impressive short

sprinters

Trainer Wesley Ward

(pictured next page)

doesn‟t have horses in

the classic 3-year-old

races annually but he

wins a tremendous

amount of short sprints and many

of those are classy 2-year-olds

Some of those even win across the

pond when they are sent to Royal

Ascot So you don‟t have to run

long to be bdquoclassy‟ And remember

there are a lot more sprints than

long-distance races for the older

horses not to mention the 2-year-

olds

In most cases mid- to late-

summer debuts are more common

Too many gate works

should put up a red

flag If a horse has

six workouts and

five or six of those

are from the gate itrsquos

usually a sign of a

problem leaving

there

42

and the horses that already have

sights on the classics usually run

longer

Now the exception to the rule hellip

Itrsquos Chromie

There have been examples of

horses running short and early that

have developed into long-distance

classic standouts We only have to

look at California Chrome

Sure he won the Kentucky Derby

and Preakness and was fourth in

his bid to finish off a Triple Crown

in the Belmont But when it all

started there probably weren‟t

high hopes as far as the classics

It‟s clear that California Chrome‟s

connections thought he might be a

decent California-bred sprinter

Chromie began like many run-of-

the-mill 2-year-olds It took him a

few months to prove he wasn‟t run

of the mill

He was nearly 7-to-1 odds when he

made his April debut at Hollywood

Park going 4 12 furlongs He ran

2nd to Time for a Hug and paid

$740 and $4 to place and show

Remember those payoffs

California Chrome came back a

month later at BHP and won by 2

34 lengths at the same distance

He was 6-to-5 this time

Chromie ran in some decent

California-bred races and put it all

together at Del Mar when he won

the Cal-bred Graduation Stakes by

nearly three He was 6-to-1

We know what happened when he

began to run longer distances

43

He won the Santa Anita Derby at

3-to-5 the Kentucky Derby at 5-to-

2 and the Preakness at 1-to-2

A horse who paid $3 to win the

Preakness paid $4 to SHOW in his

career debut going 4 12 furlongs

against California-breds Chromie

really is the exception But he is

proof that those who run early in

the year can be around later

Again that is not the rule

When Does Breeding Help

Naturally pedigree is more

important in the longer races

When 2-year-olds are going 4 12

furlongs in their first start we

probably shouldn‟t key on the

pedigree as much ndash other than to

see if the sire andor dam have a

propensity for ldquowin-earlyrdquo babies

Pedigree certainly carries more

importance at the longer distances

Also pedigree means much more

at the larger tracks than at the

smaller tracks If a 2-year-old sired

by an upper-echelon sire makes a

start at a mid-level or smaller

track chances are there‟s a good

reason he‟s at Belterra or Indiana

Downs or Mountaineer instead of

Santa Anita or Saratoga

For 2-year-old racing information

BRIS past performances provide

good in-race statistics not just on

pedigree but on connections and

how they do with young horses

Some trainers are better with the

juveniles and most of the time

the stats don‟t lie For overall sire

lists there are several sources

Google ldquotop sires for 2014rdquo and

you will land in a good spot

Betting 2-year-olds can be quite

challenging But few races provide

you more of a sense of pride when

you are correct It means you

considered all the factors and came

up with a good runner

And it‟s also important to

remember that the very first career

start isn‟t all-telling There‟s a

particular chestnut colt on the

West Coast that‟s proof of that

2-YEAR-OLD BABY RACES

Since 2011 Night School has been teaching novice and expert handicappers alike in the finer points of playing the races Through live chats videos and radio simulcasts the best in the industry have shared their expertise free with horseplayers In each issue of Horse Player NOW Magazine we go ldquoBack to Night Schoolrdquo with a look at some of the high points of past lessons

The subject of handicapping 2-year-old ldquobabyrdquo races has taken many forms as an annual subject in class maidens pedigrees workouts and direct discussions

In 2012 (link) we featured Churchill Downs paddock handicapper Jill Byrne and HRTV host Scott Hazelton whose father Richard long has been one of the Midwestrsquos top trainers of 2YOs

Here are some of the highlights

Jill Byrne With the 2-year-olds it is a lot about giving

them confidence in the crazy new

45

surroundings at the track it is very important how they are prepared at the farms before they make it to the track

Jill Byrne Itrsquos important to know trainer patterns in 2 year old races and maiden

racesall trainers want to win first time out but some really prepare the young stock to excel in that first startthey leave nothing left in the tank

Jill Byrne I look at pedigrees workout patterns trainer patterns etc but

then when I see them in the paddock that is when I can separate the big boysgirls

Scott Hazelton (My father Richard) was lucky to have owners that bred good horses and they all would

be related in the same bloodlines so he really got to know the family of each runner

Scott Hazelton hellip getting Lasix in a horsersquos second start is big for

me too Toteboard watching is a big thing especially paying attention

By Brian W Spencer

As a horseplayer who grew up learning to play the races at Arlington the suburban Chicago oval will always rank among my favorite places to wager With frequently lucrative multi-race sequences an often talented and underrated jockey colony and consistently excellent turf racing there has never been much of a question for me as to where I will direct the majority of my summer wagering dollars

The centerpiece of the Arlington season is the International Festival of Racing that is held each August and it

never fails to deliver on the promise of international talent and Grade 1-quality racing The days headliner the Arlington Million is always buoyed by several other stakes races including the Grade 1 Beverly D for fillies and mares and the Grade 1 Secretariat for three-year olds The addition of the endurance-testing Arlington St Leger for the past two seasons has lent some additional international flair to the typical blockbuster day

While all eyes are on Arlington on Million Day Million Preview Day five weeks before the main event has

48

always been a favorite day of mine each racing year Million Preview Day offers three main stakes that pair up with Million Day events and the top three finishers in each event get their starting fees waived on Million Day Older horses aiming for the Million can prep in the Grade 3 Arlington Handicap fillies and mares with eyes on the Beverly D can test the trip in the Grade 3 Modesty and sophomores looking for Secretariat glory can use the Grade 3 American Derby as a stepping stone

Million Preview Day consistently offers an excellent betting card with competitive races and in fondly recalling many past Preview Days I decided to do some digging to see what kinds of trends I could find over the past 10 years that potentially could be put to good use on July 12 in attacking these races at the windows Heres what I found

- Ignore the Local Preppers Horses in Preview Day races that made their most recent start at Arlington have a woeful 4-for-81 record in those three races combined over the last decade

They have accounted for 32 of all starters in Preview Day events but have produced just 13 of the winners The Modesty is the one place where this rule holds less true as those using local preps have accounted for three of the last 10 winners

- Dont Bank On Big Form Reversals Preview Day is not where a horse goes

to change his or her summer fortunes ndash only two horses have won in the last 30 Preview Day events after running worse than fourth in their most recent starts (Cosmonaut in the 2006 Arlington Handicap off a ninth-place finish and Infinite Magic in the 2013 American Derby out of

a sixth-place finish) While seven horses have done so off winning efforts the real winners are in-form horses who are knocking on the door 21 of the last 30 winners of these events have finished either second third or fourth in their prior start

- Toss the Arlington Classic Winner The Arlington Classic is the first leg of the Mid-American Triple that concludes with the American Derby

- The Arlington Handicap Favorite Will Find the Gimmicks The Arlington Handicap is an interesting and formful race Despite the fact that no horse in the last 10 years has come off a winning effort to score in the Arlington Handicap the public usually finds a good favorite that runs well Just one chalk has missed the trifecta in the last 10 years (Red Fort fourth at 7-5 in 2006) and the Handicap has produced a fairly modest recent average win mutuel of just $846 compared

to $1084 for the Modesty and $1398 for the American Derby When the favorite doesnt win it has almost always been the second or third wagering choice with the biggest win price of the last decade sitting at just $1420

- Did Bill Mott Send Anything If he did especially if its in the American Derby pay attention Mott has not been a regular player on Preview Day but he has racked up more than $70 worth of win mutuels from just nine runners over the last 10 years and he captured three consecutive editions of the American Derby from 2005-2007 He also took down the 2005 Modesty with Noisette meaning from a small sample of well-chosen spots he has

50

produced a huge $782 Preview Day ROI

$$$

Million Preview Day is an excellent standalone handicapping challenge and wagering opportunity but what does it mean moving forward to the Grade 1 events in August

The short answer Not much

In the actual prep-for-future-success conversation Preview Day has not produced many winners or serious players on the bigger stage a month later This is not exactly a surprising revelation as many barns hold out their very best players for the more lucrative August races and the European invasion is almost always planned for August not July

Gun Salute trained by Bill Mott to a score in the 2005 Secretariat is the only horse in the last decade to win a Million Preview Day event and parlay that score into a Grade 1 win several weeks later Three also-rans from

Preview Day have gone on to Grade 1 glory Dynaforce won the 2009 Beverly D after finishing third in the Modesty Eclair de Lune took down the same race in 2010 after a second-place finish in the Modesty and Admiral Kitten captured the 2013 Secretariat after a runner-up performance in the American Derby

Those four runners are the obvious exceptions as in total 67 runners have progressed from Preview Day to Million Day and just eight have managed to find the exacta on the rise into Grade 1 company

After all of my digging the best handicapping advice seems to be to enjoy

Million Preview Day and its interesting wagering opportunities on July 12 After applauding the winners its best to forget about them as fast as you can and search for some fresh faces to bet on Million Day

Hambletonian Time ndash The Takter Factor Kicks In

The Takter Factor annually resurfaces for the stakes season and the Hambletonian

Itrsquos a potent combination of a Harvard-like foundation sheer talent expert yearling selection state of the art operation meticulous management and a passion for winning the classics

With his proven formula for success Swedish-born Jimmy Takter continues to rank among harness racingrsquos top trainers His stable had another fabulous season

in 2013 and Takter is back stronger than ever in 2014

In 2012 Takter reached the pinnacle of his career by being inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame The 53-year-old entered the pantheon of honorees at the height of a brilliant exemplary career and fittingly during his first $9 million season

This time around Takter goes for his third Hambletonian with not one but three of the top-rated sophomore trotting colts on the

53

Road to the Hambletonian Top 10 list Father Patrick Trixton and Nuncio

Father Patrick was Takterrsquos 2013 freshman standout who romped in the Peter Haughton Memorial in 1541 with Meadowlands leading driver Yannick Gingras The Cantab Hall colt put together a nine-race winning streak which also included the William Wellwood Memorial and the Breeders Crown The overwhelming choice for the Dan Patch Award as division champion was 2-for-2 in mid-June after his eleventh straight win and Takter declared him ldquothe horse hersquos always been waiting for whorsquos really really specialrdquo

By what wersquove seen so far in 2014 the lightly-raced Trixton has a chance to be better than his top- ranked stablemate This Muscle Hill colt unleashed a stunning 1512 mile at the Meadowlands in the Simpson Stakes in only his second start of the season on May 9 He came back to win again with an eye-catching rally in the slop on May 16 then equaled the stakes

record of 1521 in the New Jersey Sires Stakes Final on May 31 with Takter in the bike Takter called Trixton ldquoa perfect ten in every categoryrdquo Trixton was the second-highest priced yearling of 2012 at $360000 Takter won the 2010 Hambletonian with $425000 yearling purchase Muscle Massive

Nuncio the only horse to beat Father Patrick in a Peter Haughton Memorial elimination last year was sent to Takter this season and the son of Andover Hall was 2-for-2 in Pennsylvania Sires Stakes through the end of May Six-time Hambo- winning driver John

Campbell noted ldquoJimmyrsquos got him settled down and hersquos got so much trot when hersquos relaxedrdquo

Takterrsquos filly trotting star was also shining brightly on Hambletonian Day 2013 as Shake It Cerry set a stakes and track record of 1533 in the Merrie Annabelle with Ron Pierce in the sulky The Donato Hanover filly set a stakes record in the Breeders Crown and Pierce declared her by far the best two-year-old filly hersquos ever driven Shake It Cerry capped her Dan Patch Award-winning freshman

54

season going past $800000 with another easy win in the Goldsmith Maid in 1534 Shake It Cerry has come back to go 3-for-3 in 2014

In 2013 the titanic Takter twosome of four-year-old trotters Guccio and Uncle Peter banked a combined $1 million Guccio the 2012 Hambletonian runner-up lowered his mark to 1511 and attained millionaire status Guccio retired to stand stud in Indiana in 2014 Uncle Peter trotted a world record of 1503 at Pocono Downs won the Centaur Trotting Classic in a 1523 track record at Hoosier Park The son of Cantab Hall who was the beaten favorite in the 2012 Hambletonian has returned as a five-year-old

Last year Takter sent out three Hambletonian finalists Corky High Bridge and Dontyouforgetit and finished third in the final with

Corky Corky also won the Earl Beal Jr Memorial at Pocono Downs Takter drove To Dream On to an upset in the Kentucky Filly Futurity and Little Brown Fox completed a Takter triple on Hambletonian Day winning the Vincennes Trot in 1533

Both Father Patrick and Shake It Cerry won Breeders Crowns and with Uffizi Hanover also capturing the Two Year Old Filly Pace Takter had his second straight Crown triple In doing so Takter broke a tie with Bob McIntosh and became the leading trainer in Breeders Crown history with 18 trophies

Nicknamed ldquoTrotting Masterrdquo Takter made a smooth transition onto the pacing side years ago producing a steady stream of champions

In 1997 the three-time Trainer of the Year was voted the Stanley Dancer Media Award by USHWA-NJ for his exemplary relationship with media You can call Jimmy anytime and hersquos always got time for you to talk horses

Brace yourself the Takter Factor has kicked in again

BREAK TIME A Good Break from the Starting Gate Essential for AQHA Success

By Martha Claussen

Without a doubt the biggest difference in success between Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing is what happens at the very beginning A Thoroughbred can bobble or get shuffled back out of the gate and depending on their closing kick still be able to run down his rivals for the victory In Quarter Horse racing a bad break out of the gate yields little chance of finishing on the board

So how does a trainer prepare his charge for a clean break from the starting gate Some horses are just instinctively good gate horses poised focused and prepared to break alertly and run a straight course to the finish line

Not all Quarter Horses get it right off the bat so starting gate training is an integral part of preparing champions

57

Each track employs a starter who assembles a 10-12 man crew They play a pivotal but highly underrated role in horse racing

Paul Stutes is the starter at Sam Houston Race Park and places a high premium on early handling of a weanling

It all starts from day one when a horse is born explains Stutes Ive been doing it all my life and have raised a bunch of babies The more hands-on the better Two-year-olds who have never seen a human spell trouble They feel forced and it makes our job tough

Stutes has seen his share of top Quarter Horse 2-year-old champions race in Houston Past Sam Houston Futurity winners include Azoom who was named AQHA champion 2-year-old in 1994 Especially Tres who won the title in 2013 and ran fourth in the $24 million All American Futurity (G1) and 2014 victor Kiss My Hocks who currently holds the top ranking in the AQHA Racing Horseplayernowcom Top 10 Poll

A tremendous amount of effort is expended to ensure that racehorses are comfortable in the

starting gate From the introduction to the tightly-enclosed space to seeing horses to either side of them to being able to relax while a 10-horse field is loaded each step has its challenges

Basically you want to keep them relaxed and get them to stand on all four feet explains Stutes When they are nervous tensed up theyll hop in the air and thats not going to result in a good start

Morning gate training involves standing them for no more than two minutes but also backing them out of the gate and reloading In racing and often in finals for futurities a horse becomes fractious and the field has to be backed out so that the

58

gate crew can attend to the distressed runner

Backing them out always settles them down Stutes explains

Stutes has high praise for Kiss My Hocks (pictured below) the Tempting Dash colt who remains undefeated with victories in both the Sam Houston and Ruidoso Futurity this year He will make his next start in trials for the Rainbow Futurity on July 3 at Ruidoso Downs

This colt has no fear of anything maintains Stutes Hes a big rangy horse with amazing focus

Kelly McReynolds is the starter at Ruidoso Downs and like Stutes

has solid credentials in schooling horses for racing success

He points out that the more established horsemen such as Paul Jones Mike Joiner Blane and Trey Wood bring their horses to Ruidoso with some gate training However McReynolds and his crew see hundreds of 2-year-olds each spring many of who have never seen a starting gate

The first thing we do is walk them through walk them back close the gate and then walk them out said McReynolds

Some catch on right away others take 10 -12 times McReynolds and his crew go to great lengths for horsemen as even with a great

break in a futurity trial good runners dont qualify

Two days of trials for the $26 million All American Futurity (G1) will take place in August Each 2-year-old will have to break alertly and execute a flawless and powerful run to the wire All

59

mistakes or bobbles are costly when over 250 juveniles are competing for just 10 spots and the opportunity to triumph in the most prestigious race in Quarter Horse racing

With two decades under his belt McReynolds does not hesitate when citing the best-breaking Quarter Horse he has ever seen See Me Doit (winner of 17 races for the late Blane Schvaneveldt)

he said He knew exactly what his job was Always stood like a statue and when the gates opened he just said goodbye

McReynolds worked with noted stallions Chicks Beduino Separatist and First Down Dash but could not give an overall gate rating to those champions or their progeny

Its a game of inches with no luxuries or rating in Quarter Horse racing states McReynolds

As far as how gate schooling applies to handicapping there is no single factor such as a speed index pedigree or trainer win percentage to narrow down the field to a winner However one of the most overlooked handicapping factors is looking at the trip notes or replay if a horse has finished out of the

money

If the reason for the poor outcome was trouble at the starting gate give that runner a chance in his

next out With subsequent morning gate training the Quarter Horses performance will likely improve in future races and the payout as well

Horse Player NOW

takes you inside the past

performances ndash the GPS of

nearly every player ndash and

dissects a specific race for

what to look for within the

lines ndash and between them

We continue this month in the claiming ranks

as we advance up the class ladder This time

itrsquos ldquoconditioned claimersrdquo in the spotlight The

term ldquoconditionedrdquo has nothing to do with a

horsersquos fitness in this sense but rather the

qualifications and limits placed on participation

in different types of races The conditions could

be for age (3-year-olds) sex (fillies and mares)

andor accomplishment (have not won a race

this year) The idea is to bring together horses

of similar talents in order to make for the most

competitive betting races for the public

Because of weakened numbers in the foal crop

(total horses bred and born for racing) we

have seen a change in recent years in how

conditioned claiming races are written by the

trackrsquos racing secretary What used to be a

straight-forward race for one particular

condition (horses who have not win a race in 6

months) has now morphed into multiple

conditions for qualifying In theory ndash though

debatable ndash this tactic is supposed to increase

field size by making more horses eligible to

compete But in many cases it can be argued

that it has allowed horsemen to become even

more selective and picky in their spots to race

Many now wait around for the just the ideal

perfect spot ndash and thus neither field size nor

competitiveness has been addressed positively

Bad information can be found everywhere Itrsquos the good stuff thatrsquos tougher to locate and discern Just because the source of information may seem credible it doesnrsquot mean accuracy can be assumed In the run-up to the Belmont Stakes California Chromersquos training tandem of Art and Alan Sherman both incorrectly went on the record reciting information that was widely repeated and easily repudiated Art said California Chromersquos nasal strips were part of his unbeaten streak when in fact the horse had run sixth with the strip before the streak began Alan applauded the post in the Belmont Stakes saying it was a great coincidence that Chome shared the same posts in the Derby Preakness and Belmont as the one and only Secretariat That wasnrsquot even close to correct and easily dismissed with a 5-second glance at the past charts Yet it was repeated many places because from where it came

The point is not to pick on the Shermans but to illustrate just how far off ldquofactsrdquo can be when listening to horsemen and taking the words at face value They do a superb job conditioning and caring for horses in most all cases but their ability to have a sense of the big picture or even the handicapping acumen to know how their horse compares to others in a race is not part of the job description Sure they may know their horse is about to run a corker or might be a race off of their best efforts Listening to interviews can be beneficial in learning what Horse A might be capable of today But it always then comes down to YOUR ability to rank and file the horses in a competitive order ndash because often the trainer of Horse A has no expertise beyond the 4 legs theyrsquore wrapping
