Keeneland
« on: October 16, 2010, 12:31:19 PM »
Is anyone having as much trouble with this meet as I am?  The numbers don\'t seem to matter.  Did anyone see the horse yesterday in the feature with no number better than a 10 win after a wide trip...beating horses with 3s and 4s.

I find Keenland the absolute most difficult track in the country to handicap so I gave up 2 years ago.  JB will say to play the poly like a turf track and see if that helps but I just gave up entirely.  

Good luck

On the Keeneland website there is a downloadable database in .csv/xls format that you can download to help identify winning patterns and angles. The database has every race listed since the switch to Poly. BTW it\'s free:). Find it here....

Tough to make a case for the winner in the feature yesterday, but I do give any horse that LeParoux is on a deeper look at Keen. Not saying I played the horse, but it was a reach.

Keeneland is very much a horse for course type of track. Any prior decent form and/or workout is a huge angle that I have used to land on a few bombs. Check out Acoma from last Saturday. Not trying to Redboard just saying what has worked for me.

Good luck.

I was off to a slow start at Keeneland, but have been picking them up this past week.

Look deeper into the numbers...recent activity is less indicative of what\'s coming...I\'ve seen several winners which came into races off training and ran back to old numbers OR which were recently aquired and ran new top numbers under new connections.

Stay away from 2yo races unless you are betting barns. You won\'t figure out Michael Maker, for example, if you approach this track scientifically.  You gotta go with the flow.

The racing at Keeneland, especially the late P4s on the weekdays and the Saturday
cards, is far and away the best racing being conducted in the US as California
struggles with horse shortages and NYRA makes no attempt to present quality
overnight racing.
