Track of the Week – Monmouth Park

It's Haskell weekend at Monmouth Park, our track of the week. See below for some Angles that can help you play the historic Jersey Shore track via the Free Race of the Day page.

Sharp Angle - Sunday, July 30
Haskell Invitational (G1).
9F on dirt
Horse Racing Data Analyzed: 11 stakes for three-year-olds at 8.32-9F on dirt
Date Range: January 1, 2013 - Present
Sharp Angle: Ranked 1st in Best Lifetime Speed
Factor Stats: 23 contenders, 11 winners (47%, $21.20 flat win bet profit, 146 ROI%), 60% 1st or 2nd ($6.80 flat place bet profit, 114 ROI%)

Top-figure horses are always dangerous but are often overbet. Betmix Angler data shows that Best Lifetime Speed has indeed been a predictably good predictor of success in the three-year-old dirt stakes at Monmouth Park. The data also shows these horses tend to pay reasonably well. In addition, the past three Haskell winners have all ranked first in Best Lifetime Speed, returning $7.20 (Exaggerator), $2.20 (American Pharoah) and $11.40 (Bayern).

Results: Girvin (1st at $9.20-1) & Timeline (5th at $1.90-1)

Sharp Angle - Saturday, July 29
Lamplighter S.
8.5F on turf
Horse Racing Data Analyzed: 11 stakes for three-year-olds at 8/8.5F on turf
Date Range: January 1, 2013 - Present
Sharp Angle: Ranked 1st in Best Turf Pedigree Rating
Factor Stats: 17 contenders, 7 winners (41%, $77.60 flat win bet profit, 328 ROI%), 65% in-the-money ($7.00 flat show profit, 120 ROI%)

It makes sense that Turf Pedigree ranking would be a strong predictor in turf stakes. This is especially true for younger horses like the mid-year three-year-olds contesting the Lamplighter S. The massive $77 flat win bet profit certainly indicates this factor is one to be taken seriously.

Results: Mo Maverick (1st at $1.00-1) & Harlan Strong (3rd at $12.30-1)
