BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for February 6th by Bob Fierro and Jay Kilgore
Yes, those screams you heard last week that may have brought to mind the Edvard Munch painting were ours because Space Mountain, the horse we roundly booed in our Pix because he didn’t belong on the card to say nothing of his short stride length went wire-to-wire in a totally implausible performance. That our choice, Super Stan, lost all chance when he was slammed at the start and then squeezed back into oblivion at the quarter pole by our second choice Our Way just made it worse. However, on that same Gulfstream card, two BreezeFigs horses won stakes (J R’s Holiday and Pricedtoperfection) and another, Mo Power, broke his maiden, so it wasn’t a total loss. There were eight other BreezeFigs maidens who won last week including another couple at Gulfstream (one a BreezeFigs exacta), two at Santa Anita (one an exacta) and two at Tampa Bay, plus solos at Fair Grounds and Turfway. Today’s card is solid but there are very few first-timers, but there’s one race which looks promising, see below. Good luck!
If you’d like to learn a little more about how we come up with BreezeFigs, take a look at our new website by clicking here: www.biodatatrack.com and click on the tab BreezeFigs at the top of the page. In there you will find a link to a major study of how over 17,000 BreezeFigs horses from the sales 2007 through 2013 have succeeded on the racetrack based on Group and stride length. You can also access that study by clicking this link: www.biodatatrack.com/BreezeFigs-Study.pdf.
Here’s Saturday’s Pick: Santa Anita Park, 3rd Race, Maiden Special Weight, 6 ½ Furlongs (Downhill Turf)
There are three BreezeFigs fillies in here, two of which are making their debuts, one of which looks made for this course. That one, Georgia Blue, comes out of OBSAPR with a four-over-Par Group 1 profile that featured at 24.07 foot stride length (SL), more than three-quarters of a foot longer than fillies that day at a quarter mile. A couple of days later, Echo Chamber posted a six-over-Par Group 1 effort with a 23.75 foot SL, about a half-foot longer than fillies that day at a furlong. The other filly, Miss Injustice, posted a decent even-Par Group 2 profile at BARMAY but her 22.78 foot SL was almost a foot shorter than average for fillies that day and she was not sold (RNA) for 18k.. Her first two starts were not promising. We think Echo Chamber might be one to go to the lead and Georgia Blue might hold back, and if that’s what happens Georgia Blue should be much stronger in the lane. Both are good gimmick plays and Georgia Blue could be a key. Good luck!
