The Track-IQ framework had the winner this afternoon in the $100K Mardi Gras stakes at 5 1/2f on the turf for fillies and mares four-years-old and up with its Primary selection of #6 Shining Star (GB) at 1-2. The horse was a heavy underlay at that price versus his theoretical odds of 2.7-1 and M/L of 5-2 but was also undefeated at the track in one start and was 2-2 at the distance coming in. The Brad Cox trained horse paid $3.00 for the win.

For the rest of the card, the framework performed very well, having the winner with its Primary, Secondary or Tertiary selections in all seven races covered (100%). It also had the exacta order correct with P/S/T horses in four out of the seven race (57%). Here’s the full report, results and audit.

On Saturday at the Fair Grounds, the Track-IQ framework had the winner in the G1 $500K Risen Star Stakes with its Primary selection in #4 Paladin, who was not the lights out favorite his 3-5 odds suggested; rather his 3-1 theoretical odds were more appropriate after barely beating #5 Chip Honcho at 7-1 at the wire. Chip Honcho was the 4th selection in the ordering. The framework did have the superfecta ordering correct with its 1 – 4 horses with #1 Universe, the third selection, coming in fourth.

G1 $500K Risen Star Stakes

The Track-IQ framework had the winner today in the $150K American Stakes at Oaklawn, run at 6f on the dirt, with its Primary selection of #5 Majestic Oops at 2-1. That was near the theoretical odds of the horse at a little under 3-1. The Secondary selection, #3 Benedetta, came in third at 5-2 versus theoretical odds of 3-1.

Track-IQ reports will be available today, Friday, Feb. 13, and this weekend for Aqueduct, Fair Grounds, Gulfstream, Oaklawn, Santa Anita and Tampa Bay. Tomorrow is another Kentucky Derby prep race—the $500K Risen Star Stakes at 1 1/16 mi. on the dirt for three-year-olds at the Fair Grounds.
