BreezeFigs Quick-Pix Saturday, June 26, 2021 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore
It didn’t rain in Louisville so our 3-year-old Pick didn’t get in, and the even-money one of our 2-year-old Pix at Santa Anita got shuffled back at the start but the other one, Eda, battled on bravely to miss by a nose but in the process got bumped at the sixteenth pole and put up at a very generous $6.20. This was the week that the BreezeFigs juvenile maidens broke through in number of runners and winners. Eight others won—five of them in their debut, at: Churchill, Delaware, Evangeline, Gulfstream, Monmouth (two on the same day), another at Santa Anita and a solo at Woodbine. The 3-year-olds racked up victories at Churchill, Gulfstream (BreezeFigs exacta with two first-timers), Monmouth and Penn—plus a 1-2-3 finish in a stake at Woodbine. Today’s card offers an abundance of baby races, and we found two that look promising enough to dip into, see below. Stay safe and 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.

Here’s Saturday’s Pick:
2-Year-Olds:
Belmont Park, 2nd Race, Maiden Special Weight, 5 ½ Furlongs (Dirt)
This could be a key race and Carpe All Day, the lone BreezeFigs colt in here has a to complete a number of gimmicks and, if the board looks promising, perhaps steal it. He threw in a six-over-Par Group 2 effort at OBSMAR with a 25.25 foot stride length (SL), which was exactly a foot longer than average for colts that day at a furlong, which says something since more than 50 breezed that day. He’s a must look and a probable play..
Gulfstream Park, 1st Race, Maiden Special Weight, 5 Furlongs (Dirt)
Ride On Bye is one of the first to come out of OBSAPR and he does it in style with a five-over-Par Group 1 ticket that featured a 24.95 foot SL, almost a foot-and-a-half longer than average for colts that day at a furlong. Akingisalwaysking comes out of OBSMAR where he breezed a furlong on the same day as Carpe All Day (see above)—but with far different results: H earned a four-under-Par Group 3 ticket with a 22.68 foot SL--more than a foot-and-a-half shorter than average for that day. Ride On Bye looks to be the obvious key here.. Good luck!
