Pattern Recognition - Router in a sprint

About a week ago, PeteC put up a nice race for 5K claimers paying a purse of $7,100 from Emerald Downs. It's available in the matcher forum if you'd like to look at it.

I totally missed the race.

The winner of the race was a router (he had one sprint in his ten PP lines). This is a pattern I have seen repeat itself many times.

All the routes for this horse were at TuP. The line I looked at was the fourth line back. The fractions were 23.3 46.4 1:12.1. The horse was in 3rd position 1 length back at the first call and second call and in 2nd position .5 lengths back at the six furlong call. If we use the Hat's method of subtracting 2/5 of a second to get a sprint time for the half mile and six furlong time and make an appropriate quarter mile time, we end up with a 22.4 46.2 1:11.4 for the router.

The race actually went 21.4 44.1 56.3 1:09.1 There was a great deal of early speed in the race. Also, EMD just might be the fastest track in North America; faster still than Turf Paradise if you can believe that. Still, the quarter time puts the router about 5 lengths off the lead which is where he was at the first call. The other fractions don't match up quite so well. I believe this is due to the speed of the race tracks involved.

The horse paid 6:1 winning from off the pace.

Here are a few characteristics I have observed about these types:

1. They need to run very close to a fast route pace through six furlongs.
2. If they show that they need the lead, a judgment needs to be made if they can run without the lead.
3. Sometimes these horses run from off the lead in sprints. Other times, they can run close to a slow sprint pace.

There was a race from Hollywood on the grass on Sunday 7/1 that fit this pattern. Race #7 at six furlong where the 2 won at 7:1. The 2 had run in a mile route on the grass 3 back that went 22.2 45 1:08.3 where he sat 3rd 3.5L back at the first call, 4th 3.5 lengths back at the second call, and 2nd 2.5 lengths back at the 6 furlong call.

These routers frequently pay well and come up much more often than you might think.

Cap, Glad to see you 'Matching" using Pattern Recognition. I have gotten very good at 'Matching" by practicing the Mind's Eye exercises and the Voodoo threads. I have been 'practicing' for about 6 months now and it's amazing how races seem to keep repeating and repeating. I'm not an expert, yet, but I'm sure headed that way. I let my brain do all the work and only use 'software' as my corollaries at the very end of 'capping to either confirm my picks or spot something I may have over looked. Keep up the 'Pattern Recognition."

Repeat?

Hey Tim, thanks for your post and I've been thinking about what you said. I've been waiting to find a race myself that I think fits what you are describing. I have posted one today and we'll see if I'm on the right track. Here's what I see...

1,4,5,6,7 like to be on the lead or very close. As a group I see them as very similar, either on the lead in 22 or pressing/fighting in 21.4 or so.

The 8 has won and finished 2nd by half a length against a 22 45 and seems like a prime OTE contender to me. The horse that made me think of your post is the 3. It led a route at the quarter and half and was still only a half length back at the 6F mark against a 111. Doing the conversion you mentioned give a 110.3 which seems to compare favorably against the early runners' recent times, especially considering the hot pace they should face today.

I'm going with the 8 and the 3...
