BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, May 26, 2018 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore

The Mighty Judge, our Pick last week, struck out by one-pacing around the track. Still, it was a good week for BreezeFigs maidens as two of the juveniles won (at Golden Gate and Indiana). Meanwhile, eight 3-year-olds won, at: Belmont (two), Churchill, Monmouth, Parx, Pimloco and Santa Anita (two). That’s spreading the wealth around. Logically at this time of the year the number of first-time 3-year-olds starts to diminish, and we have no strong feelings about that card Saturday. We also aren’t dancing in the streets over the juvenile race, but we think it might be worth a shot, 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:

Arlington Park 1^st Race, Maiden Special Weight, 4 ½ Furlongs (Synthetic)

Like 25 of the 26 BreezeFigs babies which have started this year, Get Hammered and Castlewood Terrace come out of OBSMAR. They breezed on the same day but at different distances, and both punched two-under-Par tickets in a very contentious breeze show. Get Hammered threw in a 24.73 foot stride length (SL) at an eight of a mile, about a half-foot longer than average for colts that day at that distance. Castlewood Terrace posted a 25.02 foot SL, more than a third-of-a-foot longer that average for colts that day at a quarter mile. They’ve listed Get Hammered at 3-to-1 and Castlewood Terrace at 6-to-1 so someone is looking at these works. They might be a good box, but in any case both should be there or thereabouts at the finish. Good luck!
