BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, October 26, 2019 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore
Thank you, Marvin, for coming through as our key last week by completing a very nice $183 trifecta at Keeneland. And thank you 18 other BreezeFigs maidens who broke through to win, including 10 of you who kicked off BreezeFigs gimmicks. These came at Belmont (five, four BreezeFigs exactas and one BreezeFigs superfecta), Gulfstream West (two), Indiana (two, including a BreezeFigs exacta), Keeneland (BreezeFigs exacta), Penn National, Remington, Santa Anita (three, all BreezeFigs exactas), Thistledown, Woodbine and Zia. We haven’t seen that kind of gimmick success in years. Today’s card is a wild assortment but we found one where there might be a chance for a nice one to emerge, 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:
Gulfstream Park West, 6th Race, Maiden Special Weight, 5 ½ Furlongs (Dirt)
There’s likely to be a hot favorite in this one who’s not a BreezeFigs horse, but the two that are BreezeFigs horses are making their debuts at rather generous odds and should be given gimmick consideration. The Virginian came out of OBSMAR with a four-over-Par Group 1 ticket and moved nicely with a 25.27 foot stride length (SL), which was a half-foot longer than average for colts that day at a quarter mile. He brought $210k which is really good considering his lack of commercial pedigree. Franco’s Team posted a one-under-Par Group 3 profile at OBSAPR with a 23.90 foot SL, three-quarters of a foot below average that day for colts at a quarter mile. You might want to watch his morning line 12-to-1 because sometimes short-striding horses like this track and can slip into a gimmick. However, we think The Virginian has a real shot, if not in the gimmicks then also to win. Good luck!
