On the day the latest version of the Handicap Wizard was released, the program had a good result in the sole stakes race at the Fair Grounds, a $75K race at 5.5f on the turf for fillies and mares four-years old an upward. Despite having odds of 11-1, the HW rated #2 Student Body as its top selection with a combined winning probability of 27%. Its speed estimate (SPD) was even higher at 36.6%. The horse also showed strong underneath figures, ranking 2nd behind #6 Oxford Comma at 2-1 in E1, 1st in E2 and toward the middle of the pack in LP. Student Body broke well from the gate and led all the way until the last 1/16 mi., before #7 La Dame Blanche at 4-1 (whom the track handicappers had favored) closed to challenge. In a tough duel, Student Body dug in to win by half a length over La Dame Blanche, paying $24.80. Student Body was also the top ROI pick, making it a nice setup indeed.
