Broodmare is equally important, just doesnt get much attention.
2. Past performance (I don’t pay much attention to speed figures, though number do help)
3. Trainer (GO Bobby Frankle)
4. Race day track condition (Poly Track is going to negate a lot of uncertainties)
5. Jockey (I loved Bailey!!!)
6. Owner (Michael Tabor, Coolmore, John Oxley, Sheikh MO, Sheik Hamdan, Darley, Godolphin, Gainsway, Juddmonte, Ramseys, Late Bob & Beverley Lewis!!doesn’t matter they all take good care of the animals)


Any takes??

My takes:

1) If the formula is working for you.....use it. If it is not.....get rid of it.
2) Is this in order of importance because if it is....how can pedigree be #1???? Pedigree can be good for betting 2yo and it can sometimes be helpful in guessing how far a horse will go or if they wil like the turf.....but I sure would not put it #1.
3) Who cares about the owner?
