Race 6 at Gulfstream, Thurs., May 28

The program had a nice result today in the 6th at Gulfstream, an $8K claiming race at 6.5f on the dirt for four-year olds. #3 Joe Di Baggio at 7-2 won as the top selection over the favorite, #8 Karen’s Cove, at 1-1. Joe Di Baggio had advantages in SPD and LP with winning estimates of 38.6% and 56.7% against a Coefficient of Variation of 8%, meaning the horse had about average risk. The high absolute value of Joe Di Baggio’s LP estimate mattered greatly in the race, with the horse making an outside bid at the top of the stretch before surging late to catch #6 Tip Sheet and Karen’s Coven, who came in 3rd. Joe Di Baggio paid $9.20 for the win. This is an example of a race going exactly according to projections. Joe Di Baggio’s strength in speed data turned was true.
