Marathon method on the Oaks - Pace and Cap

The Pook · 05-06-2016, 05:28 PM

I have been looking at Hats marathon method this week for matching inspired by Bill Lysters posts. Not sure if this is applicable to only 9 Furlongs but in the Oaks today I ended up with 1,2,4,6,8,11,12,13,14. From my chosen pace lines the 4, 11 and 12 have the fastest mile times deduced from various distances using the 6.4(tenths) per half furlong. Their positioning is 1st, 2nd, and 1st respectively.

12 has a 1st in 97.2
11 has a 2nd in 97.2
4 has a 1st in 97.3

So I think 12 would be the horse.

Odds at 26 minutes to post are,
4 (7-1)
11 (2-1)
12 (7-1)

My bets will be 4,12

Lets see what happens,

Well it seemed to work just fine at 9F. 12 was the single.
