Doc's Horse Racing Index for Saturday 8/27/16: Travers Stakes Day!!!!
First the Total's:
Over 44 Races through six days posted at SBR. Winning tickets in 24 (54.5%) of them.
Exacta $2,160 In $3,235.70 Out +$1075.70 Profit ROI = +49.8%
Trifecta $4,140 In $7,236.37 Out +$3,096.37 Profit ROI = +74.8%
Make no mistake there are ebbs and flows to horse racing. Whether its a track bias that isn't accounted for, or its just a day that the favorites seem to get us right at the wire on every race to cut into the profits. It's important to not wager more than 4% (3% if you can) of your bank on each race.
If you scroll to row 770 you'll see that my top 5 (Column "F") win at a 65% clip with place horse getting there 67% of the time. This hit rate is why I structure tickets the way I do. I have no fear of gamblers ruin, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Good record keeping over the years has helped me weather the losing streaks, and point out weak and strong points in my handicapping. As you can see I keep track of all my races, and it's all right there for all to see.
On to Saturday 8/27/2016:
I have nine races picked out. Including four graded stakes races at Saratoga. As The Travers looks has a sensational entry list of horses. I also have one race at Monmouth, Woodbine and Arlington, and then two at Del Mar.
NOTE: Don't bet too early as I will drop a race from the list if the right scratches are made, or if the track conditions change.
At the bottom of the sheet I have wagering bundles, and instruction tabs (3 tabs total). I've tried to come up with the best way to structure tickets for all budgets. I encourage everyone to read this as it explains how the Index works, and the bettor can get the best use out of it.
Play within your means.
