Early Runners
Early
E -- Runners that show in their best races that they are on or near the lead, or within a length attempting to get the lead. A winning effort will be achieved only in this manner and is usually a wire to wire effort. Many individuals identify early speed using the second call, or add beaten lengths to the first call. All we need to look for is positions at the first call. During a seminar in Toronto Sandy Hawley revealed that he was not a handicapper, but if he saw ones at the first call he knew the horse was a front runner. This makes if easy in identifying early horses, but determining if the early horse can win is the big question. Today early speed is the name of the game, and is a extensive factor in North American racing. The winner of a race is decided when the gates open. One horse goes for the lead all of the others try to catch him. The ability of a horse to conserve his energy is crucial in a horse race, especially for front runners. If a horse is forced to run faster early he will go into oxygen debt and can’t extend his energy the full distance. Everybody that reads the Daily Racing Form can see if a horse ran wire-to-wire in his last race and most of the time is made the betting choice. In most instances these horses are destined to fail, because of other unidentified early horses in the race. Horses with hidden early speed is where the match up finds horse that are overlooked by most handicappers. To identify these horses it is necessary to explore the total past performance of the horse. These horse are 2hd, 3nk, and in there past performance indicate they have gone wire-to-wire. |
