1st/2nd time starter mechanical method
This is something I've put together--in an attempt to come up with a mechanical method for first & second time starters.
Many of these winners have top connections, and usually an eye-popping workout (or two) somewhere in their last 3. In addition to regular works with out gaps.
Many 2nd-time starters will show an equipt change, dist switch, juice--SOMETHING to indicate today is a serious effort.
The 3F last workout getting an extra 5 points...is really only to separate closely matched horses at the top (if this occurs)
Has anyone done Maiden research they would like to share?---or suggestions, comments on improving this method will be appreciated.
MAIDEN FIRST OR SECOND START METHOD
1. ADD TOGETHER AMOUNT OF HORSES BEATEN IN LAST 3 WORKOUTS.
2. ADD TOGETHER TRAINER/JOCKEY INDIVIDUAL WIN% (not as a team-each individual win % ytd)
3. 10 POINTS EACH FOR 1ST LASIX, BLINKERS, JOCKEY SWITCH, DISTANCE SWITCH OF 1 LENGTH OR MORE. (applies to 2nd time starters.
4. 5 POINTS FOR EVERY WORKOUT/RACE LAST 30 DAYS.
5. EXTRA 5 POINTS IF HORSE'S VERY LAST WORKOUT WAS 3F. IF 2ND TIME STARTER MUST BE AFTER HIS 1ST RACE.
