Race 10 at Santa Anita, Sun., Feb. 2

No comments

Having one of its best results ever, the Turf Program had the tri-fecta horses in the 10th at Santa Anita today, a $61K allowance race on the downhill turf for four-year-olds, with its first three selections of #10 Chrome Flash at 3-1 (3-1 theoretical odds), #2 Ghostly Act at 15-1 (7-2 theoretical odds) and #11 Piper’s Causeway at 9-2 (6-1 theoretical odds). The actual win order was 2-11-10. What you’ll notice about Ghostly Act is that he had a 52% win percentage, equating to less than 1-1 odds strength in terms of money finishes. Hence, Ghostly Act was a second selection because of the 0.4% weighting of win percentage in the main algorithm. Only with this program would you see Ghostly Act’s wins from his race history properly factored in, who won a $50K maiden race before stepping up to win this $61K allowance race. The $2 exacta paid $239.60 and the $1 tri-fecta box paid $474.00. This race shows that if you don’t use the Handicap Wizard, you are missing a lot of the picture in race analysis.
