A Statistical Look at the Fountain of Youth and Risen Star Stakes
It’s no
secret that I love numbers. I love them on a plane; I love them on a train; I
love them… well, I think you get the picture. So what better way to prove that
love than by sharing it with all of you (in a strictly platonic way, of course)?
Below is a numerical look at this weekend’s big Kentucky Derby preps:
Risen Star Stakes (Grade II)
11th Fair Grounds. 1-1/16
miles.
Brisnet Speed Figure Par:
101
Fair Grounds Dirt Averages
Median Early Speed Ration (ESR): -7.5
Median Late Speed Ration (LSR):
-17.0
Routes
Wire-to-Wire Win Rate: 18%
Lengths Back at First Call:
3.4
Lengths Back at Second Call:
1.1

COMMENTS: Not sure the son of Istan wants to go
this far, but he’s certainly eligible to improve after a wide trip in the
LeComte.

COMMENTS: Tom Amoss trainee looked great winning
the Delta Downs Jackpot, but that race was over three months ago; worse, the
colt’s ESRs look too low (fast) for this particular race and track. At 4-1 on
the morning line, the cons outweigh the pros.

COMMENTS: Hollywood Park shippers won four of 20
starts and lost six cents on the dollar in 2013. What’s more, Bond Holder’s
speed and pace figures are competitive against the likes of these.

COMMENTS: Trainer Bob Baffert has a three
percent ROI with recent maiden graduates and this guy recorded a stellar -5 LSR
in his Jan. 30 win.

COMMENTS: It’s worth noting that 39 percent of
all races run at the Fair Grounds are won by the post-time favorite. In
handicaps and stakes, that figure rises to 56 percent — with a positive ROI to
boot. This bodes well for 14-Vicar’s In Trouble, the winner of the Grade III LeComte
and the 5-2 morning-line favorite. The Into Mischief colt pressed a moderate
pace in the LeComte and drew clear late while earning an 88 Brisnet speed
figure and a (very solid) -4 late speed ration (LSR). He looks like the one to
beat.
Fountain of Youth Stakes (Grade II)
11th Fair Grounds. 1-1/16
miles.
Brisnet Speed Figure Par:
101
Gulfstream Park Dirt Averages
Gulfstream Park Dirt Averages
Median Early Speed Ration (ESR): -5.3
Median Late Speed Ration (LSR):

Routes
Wire-to-Wire Win Rate: 22%
Lengths Back at First Call: 1.9
Lengths Back at Second Call:

COMMENTS: Both the morning-line odds and the
presence of John Velazquez in the saddle suggest that this guy is trainer Todd
Pletcher’s best hope, but the lack of early speed is a huge concern. On the
plus side, the son of A.P. Indy has been improving with every start.

COMMENTS: Pletcher’s “other” horse looks
intriguing. True, he’s only won on turf and all-weather, but his race in the BC
Juvenile was encouraging — featuring a -13 ESR. Obviously, We Miss Artie was
too close to the pace that day, yet he still finished within four lengths of
the winner.

COMMENTS: This guy’s versatility is impressive
and the fact that he lured Javier Castellano from the Todd Pletcher barn is
duly noted. The colt’s speed and pace figures add to his appeal.

COMMENTS: Top Billing’s median ESR of +5 is over
10 lengths slower than the track par (-5.3) and the 7-2 morning-line odds are
hardly enticing.

COMMENTS: He’s the most experienced runner in
the field and appears to have the numbers to compete against these.
Early Speed Ration (ESR): A measurement of a horse’s early energy expenditure in relation to the total race requirements. The lower the figure, the greater the horse’s early exertion in that event.
Early Speed Ration (ESR): A measurement of a horse’s early energy expenditure in relation to the total race requirements. The lower the figure, the greater the horse’s early exertion in that event.
-15=
Demanding.
-10=
Brisk.
-5= Moderate.
0= Soft.
Late Speed Ration (LSR): A measurement of a horse’s late
energy expenditure in relation to the total race requirements. The higher the
figure, the greater the horse’s late exertion in that event. Because late speed
is calculated at a time when a horse is being asked for his/her maximum effort,
LSRs can be a great indication of form as well.
0= Excellent.
-5= Good.
-10= Fair.
-15= Poor.
Pace Profile: A simple comparison between a horse’s
LSR and the ESR of the race in which it was earned. Positive profiles are
greatly desired.
Note:
ESRs and LSRs recorded on turf or all-weather surfaces tend to vary by 5-10
points from those garnered on dirt tracks.

Bug splats on windscreens are regular amid the late spring so keeping your washer fluid and stream washers clear will enable you to expel these imprints, which could deter your view, from your windshield.

Unfortunately I don't share your love to numbers, as I am not good at it at all.
I don't remember the numbers. Mathwas the hardest subject for me at school as well as History. The reason is obvious - you have to remeber the numbers. To write marketing essay always was a challenging task for me. I always asked my friend to help me. As they say, a friend in court is better than a penny in purse. Life is better when yo have friends.
