With little form to refer to, hidden value can often be uncovered on first time starters using Brisnet's unique pedigree and trainer statistics in the Ultimate Past Performances. A few examples are found in the two-year-old maidens at Calder and Arlington this weekend.
In this blog on Monday a look back at last week's results at Arlington using the Bris Class Ratings brought some favorable results. This warrants a look ahead to the action at Arlington on Thursday and Friday.
With a Pick Six carryover going into Friday's card of $155,566 and with some competitive races presenting the possibility of the bet not being hit again, it might be worthwhile taking a look at the races in the sequence on Saturday.
Found in the Handicapper's Edge on Brisnet.com the "At a Glance" segment is an invaluable overview of track bias, as well as hot and cold trainer/jockey, stats.
Arlington and Calder's Saturday cards provided some great racing with 14 stakes races contested between the two tracks. With many top class competitive races, lucrative wagering opportunities were plentiful and once again the Brisnet Prime Power figures proved their handicapping worth.
Contentious races that may present good betting opportunities can often be quickly identified by comparing the track's morning line with the Brisnet Prime Power ratings.
The traditional highlight of the holiday weekend at Churchill is the Firecracker H. (G2) which is carded as the 10th race on Saturday's card. Eight will go to post with Thorn Song installed as the solid morning line favorite. A confirmed front runner, Thorn Song has shown his liking for the Churchill turf with four wins from seven tries over the surface.
