I'll give the method first--then the selections it picked from Hawthorne.
1. ALL ENTRANTS MUST HAVE MINIMUM 3 STARTS
2. WRITE DOWN THE TRAINER'S WIN %
3. SUBTRACT THE HORSE'S SECOND-BACK FINISH POSITION
4. NOW ADD THE HORSE'S 3RD BACK SPEED RATING--EITHER BEYER OR BRIS.
HIGHEST TOTAL IS YOUR SELECTION.
Here are today's picks from Hawthorne using this method:
1ST WISHIHADA
2ND PONTOTOC QUEEN
3RD POWERSTRETCHER
4TH YES I WIN
5TH KONZA CHROME
6TH BE GOOD TO US
7TH LITTLE IKE
8TH FORT LEWIS RIVERS
9TH TALL GRASS CAT |
The reason I like this method is the "unusual" way of rating horses. I think it's best use is for finding longshots---I checked a couple tracks--here was a winner from OPX today:
8TH RACE
Aunt Gayle $40.80 $14.40 $15.40
