In one of the graded stakes race at Santa Anita this afternoon, the $100K Clockers Corner Handicap in the 7th race at 6f on the turf for four-year-olds and up, the Track-IQ program had the winner with its Primary selection of #2 Yellow Card at 3-1 versus about 7-5 theoretical odds. The odds favorite was #1 Sumter at 4-5. The race unfolded with an extremely hot early pace, as the opening quarter went in 21.71. Yellow Card settled patiently at the back of the field down the backstretch before launching a wide bid around the far turn. He gained momentum turning for home and surged to the lead midway down the stretch, drawing clear to win. Yellow Card paid $8.40 to win.
The Track-IQ report for Tampa Bay had the winner of the $250K Sam F. Davis Stakes at 1 1/16 mi on the dirt with its Primary selection of #6 Renegade at 6-5 (versus theoretical odds of 5-2). The horse projected 2nd in final speed but had the highest win percentage, adjusted for stakes, in the field at 18%. Though the horse had variance, it was good variance in that the horse had increased its last two final speed figures dramatically. Normally, horses are penalized for variance with their theoretical odds but not for having positive trend variance, which is typical of young three-year-old horses who are still growing and maturing.
