Steve Asmussen in synthetic track stake races

[philcski]

Great stats as usual Doug... the Asmussen stuff is mind boggling. Been really doing well at KEE essentially tossing his horses in 90% of situations based on your data. For example his 2yo firster in the 6th went off favored, and while I didn't completely toss him I certainly weighted him less than had it been normal dirt and used the winner heavier. Incidentally, the winner will probably be a stakes winner and his 2nd place finisher will win next out at CD.

I'd love to know Lukas' stats on the synthetic. I can't remember the last time he had a winner on it. Hell, the last time he had a horse even run well on it I can think of was the Smarty Jones filly in the Alcibaides last year.

Lukas last 5 years:

Real Dirt: 193 for 1,669 ($1.34 ROI)

Fake Dirt: 31 for 264 ($1.50 ROI)

Turf: 12 for 249 ($0.77 ROI)


Looks like 11% on both dirt and syn - and 4% on turf.

He's been statistically terrible on everything for a very long time in terms of ROI. One of the all-time great consistant bad ROI trainers.
