So now we are to the nitty gritty
Let's review what we have done in part 1 and 2
We have read the conditions.
We have selected our contenders
For the horses that we have selected as contenders,
We then selected a paceline.
So now we can move on to the readouts
For those who are unsure, or could not view the videos
Here are my notes and contender/ paceline selections
This race is a $100,000 Stakes Race
It is a 7-furlong turf sprint
The conditions tell us that this race is for
3-year-old fillies eligible for the NY stallion series
Every horse is a 3-year-old filly
The morning line favorite is
#5 Mentality @ 1.8/1
Horse 1 Orchid Party
She has no turf sprint or turf races.
She has NO comparable races at today's distance and surface
Horse 1 is a non-contender
Horse 2 Wegetsdamunnys
She has no turf sprint or turf races.
She has NO comparable races at today's distance and surface
She is a non-contender
Horse 3 Aunt Babe
She has no turf sprint or turf races.
She has NO comparable races at today's distance and surface
She has a Morning line of 20/1
She is a noncontender
Horse 4 is Scratched
Horse 5 Mentality
She is a true win contender
She just ran a + race 29 days ago
Right on today's distance and surface
She has turf experience routing and sprinting
Horse 6 Pure Silver
She has no turf sprint or any turf races.
She has NO comparable races at today's distance and surface
She is a noncontender
Horse 7 Miss Mystique
She did run an even race 29 days ago
Right here at Belmont at 7 furlongs at today's surface.
She never was out of the race positionally but
She did beat half the field.
However, She never made a move.
Line 1 is unusable, It is not a + or (+)
She made no impact on the outcome of the race.
Horse 7 is not a win contender.
I would also like to stop here
When we read the conditions
we should be aware of the age restrictions of the
races in horses past performances
This race is restricted for 3-year-olds
Have any of today's horses run plus races against older horses?
Horse 8 Baby Boss
She has no turf sprint or turf races.
She has NO comparable races at today's distance and surface
She is a non-contender, her last line is a (+)
She did win a $100.000 stakes race in line 2
But that was on the dirt
She will probably be an early pace factor
but she is not a win contender
Horse 9 Dreams Are Pazable
at first glance I would say, Yes sure I can use line 3.
I can excuse line 1 because its the wrong distance ( route )
I can excuse line 2 because it's the wrong surface
I can use Line 3 Right? It's a usable line
It is a (+) only 58 days ago at today's distance and surface
but there is one more factor
Her Morning line is 30/1
She is a sure Early pace presence
But she is not a win contender
Horse 10, GoodBye Brockley
She Has a couple of things going for her
She has come back after an almost year-long layoff
and shows a win against older
She just ran a + paceline on the turf but at 8.5 furlongs
Is this a comparable distance?
Her adjusted phase 1 readouts 19 lengths (points) behind the favorite
Could we excuse the routes and go to line 3
Well here is the problem with that
Line 3 is an MSW race. Doc's guidelines for using
maiden pacelines against winners are to use them If
only if its the last line.
and only if the condition in today's race is for non-winners of 2 lifetime
I will have to mark horse 10
ITM only and not for win
Horse 11 is scratched
Horse 12 Kreese
She is solid all around
She has 3 consecutive turf sprint plus pacelines
Line 1 is a + race usable line because she finished 3rd
If we look closer she also ran the plus race against older
Horse 13 She's Delightful
She may be delightful but
She has no comparable surface races
She is off 156 days.
She is 20/1 ML
And that concludes the FTL guidelines portion of working the race.
FTL's guidelines are not a win bet selection method
But using FTL's guidelines will make final readout and wager decisions
much easier
So how did you do?
I will show you what I did.
Now with these contenders and pacelines
I will go to a minimum of two RDSS screens
1. The TPR screen
2. The RX screen
First the TPR screen
Look at that
I only have 2 win contenders
Horse 5, The Morning line favorite, She is going off at even money
Horse 12, She is going off at 6/1
I have marked horse 8 and 10 as ITM only or secondary contenders
They have positive factors but based on statistical research
by FTL, they are very low win candidates
The remaining horses are all non-contenders
You are free to just ignore this type and not even give them
a line,
I prefer this method of giving them a line but placing them out of the way
By selecting a line and categorizing all horses, I am less likely to miss
a horse in my final analysis.
I can also view the race from a total matchup perspective if all the horses have a line,
Things like who are the early horses? and will the closers be too far back to win? I am able to answer this from the phase 1 readouts.
Once I am finished with my TPR-Early/Late analysis
Now I go to the RX screen and make my wager decisions
This time FTL's guidelines did all the work for me
Normally I am just a 2 horse win better.
So for me, in this race, that meant win bets on horse 5 and 12 .
Horse 5 is even money so I bet 60% of my base bet on her to win
Horse 12 is at 6/1 I bet the remaining 40% on her to win
I also made a "place to be" bankroll builder place bet on horse 10
I included the 5 and 12 in a small pick 4 ticket
So there we have it
Here is the result chart
The 12 wins the race and pays 6.80/1
The 10 places and the 5 rounds out the trifecta
Thank you for participating in this race demo
I tried my best to present a race in a workshop environment.
I hope my presentation gave everybody an equal opportunity to
work the race without the results shown or known beforehand
I would like to do more of these workshops.
I need your feedback.
Thank you to those who have "liked"the videos with a thumbs up
on my youtube channel And for those who subscribed.
All comments about this and ideas for future workshops
are very much needed.
God Bless
Good Skill
