BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, April 23rd, 2016 by Bob Fierro and Jay Kilgore

Sorry about last week’s missing column—we were actually at the OBSAPR sale looking at horses and it was a zoo—just didn’t have any time to file a column. We’re back now to report that in the interim 17 BreezeFigs maidens got off the schneid including a three-over-Par Group 1 first-time starter named White as Cotton who swooped from dead last to take a maiden claimer at Tampa Bay to pay $103. Today’s card is a bit light on firsters, but we found one in a funky condition race that might do, 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:
Woodbine, 4th Race, Maiden Special Weight, (Ontario-Sired), 6 ½ Furlongs (Synthetic)
These restricted races throw all sorts of caveats into the handicapping pot, but at least there is a viable, and solo, BreezeFigs contender here in Enchanting Ally. This filly came out of last year’s OBSAPR sale with a relatively decent one-under-Par Group 3 profile where her 23.86 foot stride length was .68 feet longer than average for fillies that day at one eighth. So this “under-and-over” profile might do in this field where she is stuck on the outside in the chute but might be able to get up in a gimmick position. Good luck!
