Bet the one horse when he runs on real dirt.

I honestly think predicting races will be key races is about as laughably a stupid concept as I have ever heard in racing. Key races, by their very nature, can't be uncovered until horses run back. And, furthermore, a true key race is NOT ( necessarily ) one where two or more horses win their following starts. But, hey, people should believe what they want to believe.

Right, there are so many factors involved, and as usual, people oversimplify them, mostly because they're lazy, and miss out on what's really good ( while falling prey to what is bad ).

I would have to look at the subsequent efforts from the other horses in the race. Which horses in the race ran significantly better in their NEXT start?

How much better did they run in their following starts? Were any of the wins on turf? In maiden claiming races? On polytrack? Sloppy tracks? Cheaper tracks?

2nd: finished second next out at 3 to 5.
3rd: finished second next out at 3 to 1. 4th: won next out at 2 to 1. 5th: 4th next out at 10 to 1. 6th: 4th next out at 7 to 5. 7th: won next out at even money. 8th: won (on turf) next out at 17 to 1. 9th: won (on polytrack) next out at 7 to 1. 10th: 6th next out at 5 to 1. 11th: yet to return. So, are you saying that a couple horses winning on another surface somehow indicates this was a key race? The horses that ran back on dirt pretty much sucked. |
