More SI plays today:10/15/16
2BEL-6f Inner Turf-25K Clm
#3-Ima Wildcat +12 SI(101 lr) 16.40-7.70-7.30 (was 0/3 on turf)
10-Creaky Cricket:No SI(88lr) 5.80-4.00 (good turf record)
9-Special Selecion- +8 SI(87lr) 7.30 (good turf record)
Only two SI's in race with 9 entrants. The 3 has now won 5 in a row.

4BEL-7f Turf-40K Mcl
#1-Peculiar Sensation +8 SI(75lr) 11.60-6.20-3.70 (technically only SI horse)
10-Catapault Jack (+13 SI NQ)82lr 10.20-6.80 (36 days not qualified)
I passed this race because of three +SI horse all at 36 days since last race. A +13, +9, & +9 SI; so I wasn't too excited about the 1 going against them.

So the 1, 6, 7, 8, & 9 races were unplayable. Either maidens with no data, a Stakes race & the 9th was a total cluster of non qual horses on recency or more like declining speed.

On the plus side I managed to hit the 1st Bel using my brand of tote analysis, #6-You're To Blame-$6.00 win; and before leaving I played the 6th BEL with win tickets on the #2 and #1. I also boxed them both with each other and the favorite, #4. #2 won paid 14.20-7.10 pl. The #1 was closing on the stretch and got caught on rail, he finished a close up 4th. The favorite almost got the winner. #2 Plainview hadn't raced in 10 months but I saw several confirming factors telling me he was getting exacta and double action, plus he was 10-1 ML and first flash on board was 4-1, eventually rising to 6-1. I played 2 to win and place and 1 to win at 9-1. Exacta paid 74.50.

One final note: JJMartin on this very board ran some analyses at several tracks and said I'd be better to focus on turf when using Sp Improvement. Thanks JJ.

Laurel (10/15/16) Sp Improv plays
4LRL-1-1/16M-Turf-25K Clm
#1 I.C. Lightning +8 SI(93) 21.80-9.00-5.60
5 Captain's Affair (2nd favor) 4.00-3.00
8 Unbridled Giant (no SI-EM$ fav) 2.80
Only one Sp Improv horse in a Turf race. Happens all the time, there was another +5 SI but it was NQ due to finished 6th 17-1/4 l's out; and a +4 NQ that was 5th 13-3/4 l's out.

5LRL-6f-MSW 40K
#6 El Areeb- +13(70) Won 7.20 Only one SI in race, plus top speed last race). If I can get 5-2 on such an obvious play, I take it.

8LRL-1-1/16M Turf-7500 Clm
Just showing types of races I shouldn't play-way too many SI's to separate.
#1 +20 SI (88lr)-20-1 ML : 4-1 PT odds, 2nd favor.
#3 +14 SI (87lr) 10-1 ML : 9-1 PT
#4 +6 SI (60lr) 20-1 ML : 21-1- PT-blah with 60 rating
#6 +17 SI/+10 SI(82lr) 10-1 ML: 9-1 PT, used two diff. races for comparison
#7 +8 SI (83lr) 20-1 ML: 64-1 PT
#8 +5 SI (82lr) 6-1 ML: 9-2 PT
#12 +12/+6 SI (88)5-2 ML: 5-2 PT-favorite-2nd lr. suspect so did a 2nd SI
I did not play this race, but wanted to. LOL. #3 won and paid 20.60. I write these examples in my notes just to retrain myself to pass races like this.

I realize my brand of handicapping is not for everyone. And I still occasionally do pace, ability times, form and class ratings. Will post more of these, even if it's just for my own learning.

No real standouts today. Someone said that the competition goes up on weekends.

DEL results 10/16/16-Sp Improv
R7- Alw O.C. -1m70yd
#3- Marrikech +22 SI (102 lr) Won 5.80 also made a middle move(MM) l.r.
8- +15 SI (100 lr) Place 7.20; Esp l.r.-wake up +21 Pace Improv
4- +10 SI (98 lr) Show 3.60 ; MM l.r.
2- +9 SI (98 lr) ran 4th
Exacta 41.20- 124.40 Triple 149.90 Super(granted not high prices, but SI had them in order)-This was certainly not Longshot prices (4-1) but Sp Improv picks out live horses at all prices.

R10-5000 Clm-1M
#9 Sterlings Dolly +22 SI: Won 28.40-16.00-7.60; MM in l.r.
#1A +16 SI ran 4th.
#6 +11 SI 7th-last race was 7th all p.o.c.-questionable Sp Improv

R8-Opt. Clm-1m70yds-Races to avoid playing
Three +11 SI's, one +9 SI, one +7 and one +3 SI. The +9 SI won 18.20, +3 Placed 11.60; & +11 SI showed 2.40.

Thinking of tightening up my qualifying rules in last race. Maybe horse should have either beaten half the field in last race and/or was 8 BL's or less. I think the 35 days still works, but if a high SI shows up at 36 or 37 days, I may include it.

2nd race at Parx today(10/18/16) made picks on PARX 2 thread pre race.5000 Clm 1m70y(input from phone at OTB
#6 North Ocean-was purely a tote analysis pick while at OTB-38 days-60 Sp Rtg One note about some of my tote picks, when their PP's don't support the undue tote action, I see that as a big positive. May happen on about 1/6 tote picks that don't jive. He was also 10-1 ML
#10 Nick's Posse-+17 Sp Improv (77 l.r.) & MM l.r.
#8 Favor Factor +9 (80 l.r.) MM l.r.
#2 Andrew L -no SI, 2 mo. layoff, (89 l.r.)-included for his speed.
Results:
6 North Ocean 11.20- 7.00-4.00(WTW)
8 Favor Factor 5.20-3.40
10 Nick's Posse. 7.80
Pay offs: $2.00 Exacta (6-8) Paid: $52.20 , $2.00 Trifecta (6-8-10) Paid: $478.40

I only stayed for 4 races, had to pick up granddaughter at elem. school. Handicapped the rest of program in their parking lot and input from my phone. It showed, if you look at Parx 2 thread. I did bet the 9 in the 10th to win before leaving and a 6-9 ex. box. 9 won paid 8.20, missed exacta.

Md. Million Day-Laurel-10/22/16
I'm showing how Speed Improvement would have fared on the Md. Million Day. As I said in my original write-up, Stakes and High priced handicaps aren't my preference for using SI to find a longshot. But I do this mostly for my own entertainment and see if it can modified to improve finding Spot-longshots in higher class races as well the lower levels.

R1: 1-1/16M-Turf; MSW 50K Purse
#3 +14 SI (74 l.r.), MM(middle move)-4th
#6 +5 SI (71 lr) , MM-nada

R2-1M-Hcp-50K
#1 +5 SI (68 lr), MM
#2 +10 SI (74 lr)-Place 4.20
#7 +7 SI (84 lr)-MM
#8 +6 SI (65 lr)-mild MM-4th
(just a note, I prefer to see a +5 difference or only one big SI. Today's card has brought lots of improving horses, which is unusual, but it happens more on weekends)

R3-6f-Name Hcp/Stake-100K
#3 +5 SI (71 lr) MM
#8 +29/-2 SI (62 lr)-MM-2nd l.rc questionable effort. 7-9-8-8 by 25 l's??
#10 +6 SI (60 lr)-MM-8.40 show

R4-6f -name Stk-100K

I didn't play a Sp Improv. in this race, but had the $15.00 winner based on tote play. Still refining my skills at that game as well. He was a 2nd time starter.

#12 +11 SI (91 lr)-MM looks to be one of fav.s
#13 +16 SI (87 lr)-MM-2nd, 3rd &4th l.r. questionable-went back 5 races?
#14 +11 SI (85 lr)-ESP_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _

I Dq'd #6's SI after review He was 11 BL's last race. I've been considering tightening my BL's back to 10 or even 8 l's. but haven't done that yet. The 13 was also questionable. That leaves the 5-12-14-3. In truth I passed this race. Results: Who Stole My Sock, #5 won $83.60-30.60-11.60.....#12 showed. The place horse was 2nd favorite and steadied 3 different times to lose by a neck while racing seven wide.

#9 +2 SI (71 lr) MM -6.80 show.
FTS won and paid 62.80


These are primarily spot plays and you can see it's more miss than hit. When they hit it's frequently a double digit payoff. Bombs like Race 6 are unusual, and I laid off that race thinking my judgement was correct. I also want to repeat that during the week days, it's not unusual to have a 6 or 8 horse field and only one Sp Improv horse in the field, and 4-1 odds and higher is not unusual. The best plays like this often finished 4th or 5th in their last race.

Mother of all Spot Plays

Here's the type of Speed Improvement SPOT plays that stand out using this method. When you have only one real big SI play in a race, or one with a huge difference compared to other SI's, that are not double digit.

6th @Belmont(10/28/16)-6f(Inner Turf)-Alw 62000N1X

#1-6-1ML-Esther the Queen-no SI, good early speed l.r.
#2/#3-scratch
#4-3-1 ML-Day After Day-2+mo.layoff-1/1 favorite
#5-5-1ML- Ametrine +3 SI,Esp pattern
#6-15-1 ML-Arietta no SI-won l.r.
#7-20-1 ML-Given Fire-4 mo. layoff
#8-8-1 ML-For Later +4 SI -Middle move 8-1/4 BL down to 4-3/4 BL
#9-20-1 ML-Krista Persona +19 SI, Esp pattern-21.7% Trainer win rate
#10-2-1 ML-B Three-no SI-fav. l.r.-good trainer
#11-10-1 ML-Jersey's Kitten +1 SI l.r-MM l.r. 5-1/2 dwn to 3-1/2 BL's

So we have #9 @ +19 SI , and three others at +3, +4, & +1 SI. A +15 difference.
#9- Won paid 70.00-23.60-11.60
#6 placed 20.60
#5 showed 6.80
In all truthfulness, I only put #9 4th in my Bel picks yesterday.

2nd example at Laurel, again yesteday(10/28). This is more typical for ONE spot play in the race.
9th race Laurel-1-1/16M-Turf-Claiming 35000(35-30)

#1 thru #4-No SI,
#5-10-1 ML-How's Your Sugar-+12 SI, MM l.r.-won by 2-1/2 l'r-good trainer
#6, #8, #9-no SI
#10 9-5 ML-Enjoy the Show +1 SI, MM l.r.-2nd l.r. had an incident of broke thru gate pre-race, but horse still ran 3rd by 1-1/4, so I let SI stand. Favorite
#14 3-1 ML-Silver Romeo-no SI, up close all p.o.c. last race, contender
This is the type preferred; only one real Sp Improv horse in the race.
Results: #5 won-13.00-5.60
#10 place 3.80
#2 show 7.60 5/10 exacta with favorite: 66.00
