A few years ago, when I was doing alot more betting than I do now, and I hit a good one.
What drew my attention to the race was a discussion by Andy Serling and others from the DRF on their site. Andy mentioned that Stardom Bound looked vulnerable in the Ashland at Keeneland. And that he liked Gossip Girl.
I used the Sheets, DRF, and Pizzola's program. I also put part of my analysis on a national handicapping board, which made it the sweeter.
The horse with the best numbers that didn't look like a bounce candidate was Hooh Why at 25-1. The filly also figured to be alone on the lead, and what Pizzola calls a reverser. Meaning Hooh Why had only lost by a head to the odds on favorite (Stardom Bound)in their last race.
I also figured Stardom Bound to take the scenic route with Mike Smith in the Irons, which would be worth a point or so on the Sheets.
Gossip Girl had a good sheets number, a big pizzola power fraction.
I dutched win bets on both and boxed them in an exacta.
Gossip Girl was 10-1.
I had a nice score on that one.
