BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, September 26th by Bob Fierro and Jay Kilgore
As it turns out, last week’s Pick may have come in a key race. Our two top Pix, Seymourdini and King Kranz, completed a meager $16 exacta and $49 trifecta, respectively, with the winner Mohaymen, who was not a BreezeFigs horse but whom we had analyzed biomechanically as a yearling and found to be of very good quality (see our website link below for further explanation). In any case, we felt good about how our Pix did because they were in the picture at the end, with the rest of the field still in Queens County. During the week eleven BreezeFigs juveniles broke their maidens, including four who kicked off exactas. The exactas came at Churchill, Gulfstream (two out of the three winners), and Indiana, while the solo winners came at Delaware, Laurel, Los Alamitos, Parx, Presque Isle, and Thistledown. We’ve got an interesting one this week as well, 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:

Here’s Saturday’s Pick: Churchill Downs, 5th Race, Maiden Special Weight, 7 Furlongs (Dirt)
Two EASMAY graduates stick their plates in here, one of whom, Bandera’s Gold, does not appear as having been there in the PP’s because he was scratched (SCR) from the sale after he breezed and did not go through the ring. That breeze, however, was impressive: four-over-Par Group 1 with a 24.57 foot stride length, two-thirds of a foot longer than average for colts that day at one furlong. On the previous day, Race Ready went the same distance but only managed a one-under-Par Group 3 profile with a 23.62 foot stride length, just about a fifth of a foot shorter than average for colts that day at the distance. He did not impress in his debut and we don’t expect much improvement, but we like Bandera’s Gold enough to signal him as a solid gimmick play. Good luck!
