I am also watching R Rodriguez's horses when they are the Morning Line favorites ending with a 5
From December 9th 2015 to March 26th 2015 he was just sick he only missed the board once and he had one 3rd place finish!!!
I saw it in another post I did last year and I didn't follow up on it:

His horses won 15 of 25 races as the Morning Line favorite ending with a 5
Also 23 of the 25 were either 1st or 2nd
The interesting thing here though is that although playing to win only yielded a 11% return at a cost of $50 the better return was when you played to win and place
The cost to win and place at $2 per wager was $100 and the win/place return was ($171.40 - $52) = $119.40 which means that the return per $2 win/place wager was 19% which was much higher than the return playing just to win!!!
However, the bad news is that this seems to happen with him every other year so this year going into next year looks a little suspicious.
At any rate I will be watching this situation very closely and if he wins that 1st race as a Morning Line favorites ending with a 5, I will be paying even closer attention!!!
