How it sets up

Even pace11 going

No one horse is entitled to the lead. A field this size means traffic is the risk in here, not the pace. Two have shown early speed, under the count that would rate the race contested.

It rates second on our own win number, 1.5 points behind the top.

How it sets up

Even pace12 going

Nothing in here has a clear claim on the lead. A field this size means traffic is the risk in here, not the pace. Only one has shown genuine early speed, without enough company to rate the race contested.

The model’s read ▾

This is the widest gap on today’s card. When our number is that far clear of the board, the disagreement is the whole reason to be here.

It tops our own win number, 4.4 points clear of the next one.

Four of the 12 are entitled to the early lead, so the early fractions over a mile on turf in a $100,000 allowance optional claimer should be contested rather than soft.

The model’s read ▾

It rates second on our own win number, 0.5 points behind the top, and with 4 of them wanting the front the early fractions should be honest.

the morning line

The board and our fair price round to the same number (3/1), so the gap is finer than fractional odds show, it is +5.6 points of win probability, not a longer price.

▸ WIN BET · paid at the close

Likely bet down A short board price the late money bets down. Still a win play, but expect a shorter number by post, pari-mutuel pays the closing price, so the edge is thinner here. Size it smaller.
