Marathon Look @ Derby

If I understand the Hat's spot play method for picking marathon correctly (and Richie or someone correct me if I am wrong) the two best horses at the one mile mark are I Want Revenge and Dunkirk as you can see by the attached.

Dunkirk was one length off a 1:35.3, or an equivalent 1:35.5 and IWR was at 1:36.3 and 1:35.8 adjusting his last two 8.5f races by deducting 6.4 seconds from the final times.

Something else to consider for the big event.

Good handicapping to all,

Bill

The Match Up supercedes everything


Quote:
Jim is teaching me that when a horse is headed - a neck or head in the pp's - it uses up units of energy because of the PRESSURE the horse feels when another comes alongside it.

He also points out that this " battle" often goes on for an extended period of time in a race while we just see the " point if call".

He says " Rich sometimes this battle can go for over a quarter mile.THIS horse if he can not have to face such pressure today will have ALL KINDS OF LEFTOVER ENERGY TO USE TODAY".

Hat Method Triumphs and I Screwed Up

My humble apologies for doing a less than complete job in my first post. I only rated the horses I didn't scratch from the several eliminations I used to get the top fifteen RDSS horses (They were top fifteen alot of other ways as well I might add)

The bottom half of the attached spreadsheet, sorted by best mile times, shows that the best mile times finished 11, 4, 2 and 1 (yes, the 50/1 winner and exacta!!). Even if you restrict the data to say the last two races, it does not change the outcome.

So I have to apologize to Richie for not following through and I have to praise the Hat for uncovering a spot play that paid great dividends if I had only evaluated all the entrants and then determined the contenders.
