Newsflash for those looking for "cheating"
In general you should look for prices that paid less than they should not more. Like the time when I was working at Yonkers when the exacta in a race came back less than the 1st place finisher did to win.

Shouldn't the word "time" be in the plural here?

This is Glitterman as a broodmare sire with debuters going back as far as I can go:

2012: Zero for the year
2011: 4-for-46 (9%) $0.75 ROI
2010: 3-for-52 (6%) $0.75 ROI
2009: 3-for-50 (6%) $0.65 ROI
2008: 2-for-46 (4%) $0.39 ROI
2007: 1-for-37 (3%) $0.14 ROI

If you want an edge with maiden races -- you have to be willing to spend nights and nights studying to get that edge and you have to work on figuring out how to best apply your information.
