Tampa Pick 4/ 1-17-08

[SentToStud]

Faine is pretty bad.

Faine last 12 months:

Tot Starts 404
Ave odds per starter 39-1
Wins 8
Ave Odds per winner 12-1

Routes
Starts 93
Wins 0

132 of his rides were for one trainer, Peter Wasiluk who has won about 9-10%of his 287 total starts with average Odds/Winner of 8-1. Many of the Wasiluk/Faine starters are owned or co-owned by the trainer.

Wasiluk with "Faine off" at both Tampa and Delaware has been a good thing for a few years now. Especially at Tampa. The numbers are even better for non-Wasiluk owned horses. Even better yet for those going long.

I also believe Faine has a hard time tacking less than 122, so that doesn't help.

8 for 404 is pretty significant. He's pretty bad, but keep an eye on the trainer's runners with a different rider.
