The complexion of the Ack Ack Stakes changed when likely fave Omaha Beach stayed home in California. The race now features a very evenly-matched field of nine middle-distance runners.
We analyzed the past 20 one-mile dirt stakes at Churchill Downs in the Betmix Angler handicapping software and found that Average of Last 3 Race Classes has been highly predictive.
A third of the contenders ranking first in this factor have had their pictures taken and 61% have factored in the trifecta. Among the winners are three recent Ack Ack heroes - Awesome Slew (2017, $3.20), Bradester (2014, $4.40), Pants on Fire (2013, $7.00).
