Marathon method on the Oaks 2018
 

Contenders 1,3,4,5,10,14.

Mile Times with position
#1 (99.2) 3rd
#3 (98.0) 1st
#4 (98.0) 2nd
#5 (99.2) 2nd
#10 (98.4) 1st
#14 (97.3) 1st

#14 MONOMOY (ML 2-1) Early but also OTE
#3 CLASSY ACT (ML 15-1) Early
#4 CHOCOLATE MARTINI (12-1) OTE

Hard to go against a 97.3 Mile Time like that but #14 has to do this from the 14 post.

I will go against.
3,4 WIN

Rooting for you Pook

According
 

To the Hat file the Marathon Method was only to be used in races 10 furlongs or better? The Oaks is only a 1 1/8

You are right Bob. A couple of years ago I applied the Marathon Method to the Oaks while doing the Derby and it worked providing a good price. Thought I would try it again.

Thanks
 

Pook, just wanted to make sure I was not missing something.

If you use the splits for Mendelsohn's UaE Derby for Rayya, she might compromise the 14, who is running outside on a short trip to the turn with plenty of early pressing speed inside that just might park her.

I like Rayya and Midnight Bisou.

Good luck to all.

Sadly, just as I was about to bet then post my Oaks selections, power went out all over our region here in Central Ontario :eek:. I got my mobile phone working and managed to get my bets down, but no pre-race post here, sorry :(

Anyway, just for bragging (and cashing) rights :) managed to catch the Win and Exacta (Tri and Super horses too, but not bet)

I kept the #5 Wonder Gadot largely due to her Class numbers, and also her tied 3rd ProfitLine and Prime Power numbers. (Also because I like the name and the movie :)).

Now for maybe a quiet night by the fire, reading and drinking in the dark ...

Nice job Ted.
Tim

Nice pick Ted.
