Anyone interested in seeing what a front running bias looks like should check the equibase charts for 11-5 at Finger Lakes. There were six sprints on the card and 5 of them were won wire to wire. Payoffs were $7.50, $25.20, $7.80, $5.50, and $10.20. None of the horses that won was the favorite. The favorite did win the last sprint in closing fashion.

The routes on the other hand were won by off the pace horses.

This was one of the most pronounced bias's I can recall seeing in some time.

Good point riders up. I've been tracking early bias for all tracks on a daily basis. And playing the "hot" tracks. A few days prior to yesterday FL had been showing signs of playing early. Played 3 horses there yesterday and hit 2 for $20.20 in mutuals. Let's hope the trend continues today. A few other tracks that look hot for today are FP and SRP.

Good luck!

Here's the results of the "anti-Que" front running bais-- taken from my Breeder's Cup and PA contest picks:

11/3--Aqueduct

1st Race - #1 (Even): 1st at the 1/2--finished 6th
3rd Race - #7 (7/2): 4th at the 1/2--finished 1st
4th Race - #12 (5/2): 1st at the 3/4--finished 2nd
8th Race - #6 (5-1): 1st at the 3/4--finished 5th
9th Race - #4 (7/2): 2nd at the 3/4--finished 4th

10/27--Belmont

1st Race - #6 (7/2): 5th at the 3/4--finished 2nd
2nd Race - #7 (3/2): 3rd at the 1/2--finished 1st
3rd Race - #12 (5-1): 1st at the str--finished 2nd
4th Race - #6 (12-1): 1st at the 1/2--did not finish
5th Race - #5 (8-1): 2nd at the 1/2--finished last
6th Race - #1 (18-1): 1st at the str--finished 2nd
7th Race - #8 (34-1): 2nd at the str--finished 4th
8th Race - #11 (5-1): 2nd at the 3/4--finished 7th
9th Race - #11 (6-1): 6th at the 1/2--finished 5th
10th Race - #7 (5/2): 7th at the 3/4-- finished 8th


In summary, of my last 15 selections--ten were either 1st or 2nd at the 1/2, 3/4, or stretch--and not a single one of them won. Thats what I refer to as the "anti-Que" front running bias. :(
