Gulfstream Park Picks 01/26/2012

Happy Thursday everyone! Today we have a nice little pick six that is brewing over $28,000 at Gulfstream Park. Earlier this month we hit some very nice exacta’s and a long shot pick. In route races it seems there is a bias where outer positions have a hard time winning and speed bias rules Gulfstream pretty frequently.Let us see if we can do it again going into the weekend. Here are your Free Gulfstream Park picks for the first 10 races below:

Crus to face tough opposition in Argento Chase

Saturday’s Grade 2 Argento Chase at Cheltenham looks set to provide an acid test for Grand Crus and his connections in deciding whether or not the David Pipe-trained grey has what it takes to tackle Long Run and Kauto Star in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup, or head instead for the RSA Chase for novices at the same Festival meeting, writes Elliot Slater.

The dashing seven-year-old finished a fine second to Big Buck’s in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Prestbury track last year before again chasing home Paul Nicholls’ outstanding staying hurdler at Aintree three weeks later. His transition to fences this season has seen the gelded son of Dom Alco rise very quickly to the top of the novice chasing tree and after three starts he remains unbeaten and he may look to upset the 2012 Cheltenham Gold Cup betting in March.

The Argento Chase looks set to provide a very good guide as to just how far Pipe’s stable star could go up the chasing tree having won impressively at the track on his fencing bow in November before comfortably landing the odds at Newbury a couple of weeks later in a Grade 2 event. Stepped up to Grade 1 company to tackle the Feltham Novices Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day, Tom Scudamore’s mount quickened well between the final two fences to see off the smart Silviniacio Conti and impress many good judges. Anyone tracking the Betfair Cheltenham market movers will have to keep an eye on him.

It was significant that Pipe mentioned the Gold Cup as being a possibility after the Kempton win, (his horse having already been made a hot favourite for the RSA Chase at the same meeting), and if he is to be seriously considered for the showcase event he will have to beat whichever horses turn up at Cheltenham this weekend from a line-up that may include Diamond Harry, Midnight Chase, Time For Rupert, Captain Chris and Hennessey Gold Cup winner Carruthers.

UK First Time Blinkers Statistics

First Time Blinkers On The Flat by David Renham
With the flat season gathering pace, I have decided to look at horses that are blinkered for the first time. There are numerous ideas why horses are given blinkers to wear.
These include:
-         To try and get the horse to concentrate as some horses get distracted by the other runners in a race;
-         To help the horse break quickly from the stalls. Blinkers often have this effect when worn for the first time;
-         As a last resort to try and improve a horses’ performance.
What one should realise however, is that generally fitting first time blinkers is a negative rather than a positive. The data for this article is taken from the last 6 complete seasons – flat/all weather racing only. All profits are calculated to £1 level stakes at SP. It should be noted that I have included only runners that are wearing blinkers only (for the first time) – I have excluded runners who were wearing tongue ties also. For the record the combination of blinkered first time + tongue tie produce virtually identical strike rates and returns (from a much smaller sample).
Firstly let us look at the results of all runners wearing blinkers for the first time on the flat over the period of study:
Wins
Runs
Profit/loss
ROI%
441
6336
7%
-£1748.87
-27.6
Essentially therefore these runners win around once in every fourteen starts (roughly) for losses of just under 28 pence in the £. Not a great starting point from a betting perspective. However, let us break these stats down into different categories to see if we can either find better betting propositions, or ‘gilt-edged’ laying opportunities.
Age
The perception is that blinkers improve younger horses best, especially 2yos. Let us look at the results breakdown when split by age:

As we can see 2yos actually perform below the ‘norm’. Looking at the ages as a whole, there is no discernable pattern, although much older horses (8yo+) have done relatively well from a very small sample.
Digging deeper into the 2yo stats, I have broken down the data by number of career runs:
Career starts

22

-£34.50
-14.8
Two things that seem to stand out here are firstly that 2yos that have raced several times (7 or more), react to first time blinkers relatively well; secondly 2yos that are assigned blinkers on their 2nd or 3rd career start do extremely poorly in terms of strike rate. My guess is that there is an over-reaction to a poor debut run and the addition of blinkers actually makes things worse.
Market position
Generally the market is an excellent guide to the chances of each horse. Let us look at first time blinkered horses coupled with their market position:

-36.0
At first glance the performance of favourites looks OK. However, when we take ALL flat favourites as a whole, the strike rate is around 30-31% with losses of only 6-7%. Hence, horses that start favourite when blinkered for the first time are not good betting propositions.
Race types
Let us break the data down now by specific race types:

Although the data is limited a combination of first time blinkers and an amateur rider looks one to avoid. Indeed of the 55 losers, only 3 got placed. I decided to look back further just to gather a bigger data set. I looked at first time blinkered runners in amateur contests from 1997 to 2004 – they fared poorly once again with just 3 wins from 104.
Maiden races have seen losses of around 42 pence in the £ which above the base figure of 27.6p. Auction maidens have provided the poorest results for first time blinkered runners with just 12 wins from 279 (SR 4.3%) for a loss of £151.06 (ROI -54.1%). Indeed, 2yo maiden Auction races are even worse with just 3 winners from 160 runners (SR 1.9%) for a hefty loss of £129.50 (ROI -80.9%).
Claiming races have seen close to a break-even situation despite a low strike rate of around 9%. Indeed if you exclude maiden claimers the strike rate rises to 9.3% and profits are made; albeit 9 pence profit for every £ wagered. However, it should be noted that these profit figures are essentially down to a few big priced winners and hence it is not an area where the backer can be confident to make a profit in the future.
Race distance
Let us break the data down now by race distance:
Race type

Strike Rate%

In general there does not seem to be any pattern here. I had expected longer races to produce slightly poorer results but this is not the case.

Horses wearing blinkers for the first time perform better on the all weather compared with turf. This could be due to the fact all weather racing is less competitive; or generally of lower grade. Whatever the reason, the stats are worth taking note of.
 
Jockeys
 
I decided to see if the experience of the jockey made a difference. The table below compares professional jockeys with claiming jockeys:

The figures seem to suggest the less experienced jockeys struggle when horses are blinkered for the first time. Losses close to 44 pence in the £ combined with a strike rate of under 5% means that one should swerve these jockeys under these circumstances.
 
Trainers
Some trainers have a better understanding of their animals than others so one would expect a real mix of results for first time blinkered runners. I have included all trainers that have saddled at least 30 horses with first time blinkers:

Sir Mark Prescott has excellent figures considering how poor these runners do in general – a better than 1 in 5 strike rate with profits of over 50 pence for every £ wagered. At the other end of the scale, Milton Bradley and Alan Berry have combined to produce 0 winners from 116 runners.
——————–
To conclude, horses blinkered for the first time are essentially poor investments. However, some are much worse than others as this article has hopefully highlighted. If nothing else, I suspect this article may save you from backing certain horses that have a very poor chance of winning. This should help your betting bank balance.

New tactics to be employed on Colour Squadron

It looks very much as though the talented Colour Squadron, a serious contender for the Supreme Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March, will be given a very different ride next time out to the tactics employed at Sandown recently where he was ridden prominently and eventually caught in the dying strides of the Grade 1 Tolworth Hurdle, writes Eliot Slater.

Rapid Redux Back in @ Laurel Park Goes for 21

Rapid Redux will be in action again on Tuesday as this exciting horse will be going for 21 races in a row. He was very impressive three weeks ago posting and passing the likes of Zenyatta and Peppers Pride for the longest victory. This horse has found a niche where it enters cheaper claiming and starter races having the heart to just win. It is not a stakes horse and does not every plan on being one but the pure heart and great training along with riding of Coles and Wells put this horse in a class of its own. These records have been standing for quite some time until this firecracker Rapid Redux came along. Read more »

Weemissfrankie Takes on Hollywood Scarlet Stakes

Good Morning horse racing fans! On Saturday December 10th Weemissfrankie will be taking on one of the smaller fields she has faced in the field of 6 horses. She has won her last 3 out of 4 starts so should kick off as the favorite and we will see what kind of price that we get on her. I think this race will be a nice exacta putting together Weemissfrankie with Killer Grace who has the most experience in this field.
