FREE Monday Horse Racing pick: RT and SmartCap do a deep dive on the 3rd race at Parx

Post time is 1:19 pm ET.

When looking for a race to handicap today, I stumbled upon this interesting claimer.

The chances are unlikely that you’ll ever find an eight dime claiming race with this many wealthy runners. Cumulatively, these seven have earned $1.8M with the #6 having scored the most cash at Parx, the #2 has the best $ per times raced at Parx, the #2 has won 75% of his races here, and the #3 has the best $ per races in his lifetime. For the year, the #2 and #7 have the best earnings with the #2 garnering the most per race.

Now, using Equibase figures thru SmartCap, we have the #7 with best last, best overall class and speed. The morning line for him is 8/5 and he’ll probably take more money. Given the #2 and #6 have such an affinity for this track, I am going to use those two in exotics. Finally, the #3 dwarfs the rest in terms of money per time out, so he’ll be useful in some play. Using money as a benchmark, in many cases, will help you uncover the class of the race and which horses are happiest at the track. The opposite can happen as well.

SmartCap

SmartCap is an algorithm-based system that helps the horse player identify key contenders in a race.

Developed by a math prodigy from West Point, you will receive a graph like the one below, per race, when you order SmartCap.

The figures along the left represent each entrants’ best last race, with the top number being the speed and the bottom number is its class. In this example, #10 comes out clearly ahead in class and speed which gives him an edge. Why is that number important? It identifies the horse that is in shape and like human sports competitions, the person(s) in the best shape has the advantage.

The graph on the right represents a horses’ overall rating. When you look at this graph, you will notice on the top far left, the track and race number. This is from Penn National, race two. To the right of this is this races’ class rating and its money – money being the separator for class. So, in this example, we have a $5K race and the class rating is 73. The 73 is the rating set by Equibase. At Penn 2 for this, you have a horse who raced a 62.9 overall versus a 106.2 overall. Now, #7 has a slightly better speed rating yet has been racing against lesser competition. The #10 has the best last, close speed rating, and by far best class, it would be a play. It won going away.

If you are unfamiliar with Equibase, they are the most reliable source for PP’s in the industry. Additionally, one reason why you may see us posting picks to the same tracks is Equibase installed their own GPS technology at Mahoning Valley, Penn National and is the official timer at Golden Gate, Laurel, Woodbine and Pimlico.

Parameters…

  • You must consult your PP’s regardless of what this graph tells you – especially in routes because this is where jockey skill makes the paramount difference. You can have the best horse in a certain race and if the jockey cannot work out a solid trip, it’s done.

  • Steer clear from an off track. Always check the weather before placing your order.

  • We are only providing you with a tool to identify potential horses in a race. You are directly responsible for your own wagering.

  • Pick your spots. It is a losing proposition to bet every race.

  • We rarely handicap maiden races and two-year-old races can be daunting – again, consult your pp’s before indulging.
