BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, June 10, 2017 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore
Both our Pix last week got whacked around a bit. Positive Ways got cut off twice in the stretch and was moved up to place as the 3-to-5 favorite to complete a $53 exacta. Big Mama Lady, on the other hand, got swamped at the start and flattened out after trying to catch up. Two BreezeFigs 2-year-old maidens won last week, at Belmont and Gulfstream. Ten 3-year-old BreezeFigs maidens won all over the place: solos at Belmont, Churchill, Evangeline and Woodbine, and two each at Gulfstream, Parx (one BreezeFigs exacta) and Presque Isle, all on the same day at each track. Saturday's card is similarly all over the place, but we’ve found two, 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 are Saturday’s Pix:
3-year-olds:
Finger Lakes, 5th Race, Maiden Special Weight (New York-Breds), 5 ½ Furlongs (Dirt):
Siggylongstockings is one of only two BreezeFigs first-timers on the 3-year-old card, and the best named. He is probably only a gimmick play based on his one-under-Par Group 3 profile at EASMAY last year where his 23.55 foot stride length (SL) was a quarter foot below average for colts that day at one eighth. He was not sold (RNA) for 5.5k, so he is probably not the most correct individual, but you can watch the board and play accordingly.
2-year-olds:
Santa Anita Park, 5th Race, Maiden Special Weight, 5 Furlongs (Dirt)
Two BreezeFigs firsters in here, and even though their profiles are different, overall they are quite similar. Jungle Warfare rolled to a five-over-Par Group 1 profile on the dirt at FTFMAR with a 24.24 foot SL, more than half-a-foot longer than average for colts that day at an eighth. On the other hand, Armour Plate went two furlongs on synthetic at OBSMAR where he was two-under-Par Group 3 with a 24.38 foot SL, just about average that day. These two need to settle to do well, but at five furlongs it might be tough. Both are worth gimmick plays, maybe together. Good luck!
