Smile A Final Word about FTS/Maidens

FTS listed as the m/l favorite win about 40% of the time.

FTS in Route races (on dirt) win only about 1-2 % of the time on average, but always validate at your circuit.

So in Maiden routes look for horses that can meet the pars. Barring that, look for sprinters WITH EVEN RUNNING STYLE PATTERNS STRETCHING OUT. Barring that, then look for a horse that can get a 2 length lead at the 2nd call (a lone early type).

Keeping your own par times for maidens is very easy. On circuits where it rains often I use a 5-6 race model and it looks like this:

Ability Time(W) Race Times(fifths) Winner's Times(tenths) Beaten Lengths

68.2(F2+2nd Call) 22.1 45.0 1:10.0 22.2 45.2 70.4(F2=23.0) 1.5 2.0



Later, Omar.
