BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, June 3, 2017, by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore
We have no cognizant memory of any of our Pix over the years embarrassing us as much as did our 3-year-old Pick last week, who shall remain nameless. As for the 2-year-olds, our choice got fried and she faded to third ahead of our second choice, so if you spread the money around you had a chance at a superfecta payoff, modest as it was. Meanwhile, 15 3-year-old BreezeFigs maidens won last week: At Belmont (a $73 BreezeFigs exacta), Churchill (a $90 BreezeFigs exacta), Gulfstream (four), Louisiana Downs, Monmouth (two), Parx, Pimlico (two), Santa Anita (two) and Thistledown. Though only one 2-year-old broke its maiden (Santa Anita), seven of the 13 starters finished in either an exacta or trifecta, so you must still pay attention to gimmick plays. We’ll continue with our “Column A-Column B” menu Saturday with a couple of interesting events, 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:
Gulfstream Park, 2nd Race, Maiden Claiming (20k), 6 furlongs (Dirt):
Big Mama Lady has the kind of profile similar to our Pick from last week—three-over-Par Group 2 at OBSJUN with a 25.50 foot stride length (SL), more than two-and-a-quarter feet longer than average for fillies that day at a furlong. So…why did she only sell for 7k? Yet, she is 9-to-2 in the morning line and has been working steadily, so if she settles into stride she could be a very solid gimmick play as the only BreezeFigs filly in the field.
2-year-olds:
SunRay Park, 5th Race, Maiden Special Weight, 4 ½ Furlongs (Dirt)
Positive Ways, put in a creditable even-Par Group 2 effort at BARMAR with a 23.88 foot SL, which was a bit over a third-of-a-foot below average for colts that at a furlong—and he was left unsold (RNA) for 47k. He came back at BARMAY, which we did not attend, and sold for only 20k, so he must not have done as well as in March. He is 5-to-1 in the morning line and deserves a look, if not a gimmick play. Good luck
