HM: Any new barns or jockeys planning on making

Kentucky Downs a regular track?

In our track ratings released earlier this year, Kentucky CJJ: Steve Asmussen, Christophe Clement, Ben Colebrook, Downs maintained the #1 spot for the second consecutive Phil D’Amato, Mike Maker, Peter Miller, Ingrid Mason, Joe year. To get you ready for this year’s meet, which kicks off Sharp, Mike Stidham, Jack Van Berg, and Wesley Ward will on Saturday, September 3, we asked Live Racing Manager all have horses on the grounds. And, of course, Mark C.J. Johnsen five questions about what the track has in Casse, Bill Mott, Buff Bradley, Tom Amoss, D. Wayne store for horseplayers this time around. Lukas, Ian Wilkes, Tom Proctor and others will ship in quite a few horses. HM: From a business/handle perspective, what are you hoping to accomplish this year?

CJJ: Based off of our previous growth, we would like to see our handle grow over 15% from 2015. We have put a lot into our marketing effort in an attempt to make more horseplayers aware of the tremendous value in our product.

HM: What changes or additions does Kentucky Downs have in store for us this meet?

CJJ: We have made significant upgrades to our simulcast signal. Not only did we revamp our graphics, but we will also begin broadcasting in high definition. One of the only complaints about our product is our signal and how difficult it is to see your horse. As a horseplayer myself, I do not enjoy playing a track that I cannot watch, so I listened to our customers and upgraded the cameras. Kentucky Downs Live Racing Manager C.J. Johnsen expects Julien Leparoux to return from his current injury to ride at the meet – Norm Files photo

Our jockey colony will be second to none. Of course, Florent Geroux will be back to defend his title. Julien Leparoux is expected to make his return from injury on September 8, and Flavien Prat will make his first trip here as well.

Along with the French invasion, we will have the HM: How are the big stakes races shaping up? Kentucky veterans Robby Albarado and Corey Lanerie.

HM: Do you have a "go to" bet at Kentucky Downs?

LM: The big pools and fields make the horizontal exotics like the Pick Four and Pick Five very attractive, but they are much tougher to take down. I would play those if I had a strong opinion in at least two races. On a daily basis, the Exacta and Daily Double are my go to bets. The large fields result in very generous payoffs in both, and they are much less risky than the Pick Four, Pick Five and Superfecta. The average Exacta paid over $53 for every $2 bet, and the average Daily Double paid $126 the last three meets.

So what lesson could Bolt give to a horse racing handicapper? Well, it came out recently that Bolt, the fastest sprinter in the world, had never run one mile. Say what? It's hard to believe but true. Usain Bolt has never done the thing that most American high school kids have had to do at some point in their lives. His agent, Ricky Simms, confirmed this amazing fact in a recent statement to the New Yorker publication. So why would Bolt never run a mile? Bolt has never trained running one mile simply because it would not benefit him. His game is all about those fast-twitch muscles involved in short-distance racing – his strength. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Standardized Payout Prices When someone says "I hit the super, and it paid $569.60," what goes through your mind regarding the By Cangamble payout? Was it $569.60 for a dime? For twenty cents? For 50 cents? For a buck? Or for a deuce? Nobody reading Here are a few more ideas on how to improve the game this knows for sure, and it really shouldn't be that way. of horse racing: Also, there is also an issue that occurs once in a while where the payout might show $28,753.80 (for a two dollar base) but in reality only one person had the whole pool for 50 cents and collected $7,188.45. There is something deceptive about that and it isn't necessary either. To get to the goal of having industry-standardized payout prices, one must first acknowledge the problem that different tracks have different minimums. There needs to be a sit-down of track owners and minimums for each bet type should be agreed to be the same everywhere. That is going to take a while to achieve as some jurisdictions need to tinker with state laws, etc, and getting two tracks to agree on minimums is hard enough, asking for all to agree might be more difficult than peace in the Middle East. Until that time comes, prices shown should be based on the minimum wager. If tracks like to see higher payouts so they can advertise it, raise the minimum.

Minimum Wagers Jackpot Bets Back in the 1940's and 50's, arguably when horse racing It looks like Beulah Park created a Frankenstein. Jackpot was at its peak of popularity, the minimum wager was $2, bets have been put on many a racetrack's wagering menu and there really weren't any known issues with that. Using in the past few years. If they attract lots of action, then it an inflation calculator, a $2 bet in 1947 is equal to a wager might make sense in some cases; if they don't, they are of $21.58 today. Down is up and up is down when it pretty much useless. They kill churn, and they don't comes to horse racing it seems at times. Today, one can attract players to that track unless the jackpot has risen to make a $1 win bet and a 10 cent superfecta bet larger amounts, and even then, in many cases they don't (superfectas weren't around back in 1947, but still....). attract enough players to justify their existence. Wouldn't Lotteries in many jurisdictions have been raising their you rather invest in a $1 Pick 4 or Pick 5 carryover than a minimums without a loss to their bottom line lately, not dime- or 20-cent high five jackpot?

Probably not. short by feeling it needs dime minimums, keeping If a jackpot bet can't attract at least $5,000 in new minimums so low may actually be hurting the bottom line. money a day, it should be banished to the cornfield They take away much of the incentive from the gambler (replace it with something with true carryover potential when it comes to a big score, and also take away the like a $1 Pick 5 or even a buck Pick 7).

On Monday Aug 29, 2016 I created a database that contains the most recent four years (2012-2015) of Kentucky Downs only. While that might sound imposing, it's not. Kentucky Downs only gets to run a handful of dates each year. I count 20 distinct race dates in the database, a grand total of 191 races, and 1927 starters.

After building the database I set about compiling the stats that appear below. All of the races at Kentucky Downs are run over a unique European style turf course. The database shows the following seven distances: 6f, 6.5f, 7f, 1 Mile, 1 Mile & 70 yds, and 10.5f. Because of the smallish sample size I grouped the turf sprint distances (6f, 6.5f, and 7f) together under a single category labeled as turf sprints. I likewise grouped the route distances (1 Mile, 1 Mile & 70 yds, and 10.5f) together under a single category that I called turf routes.

You might want to give these category stats more than just a cursory look because some of them are kind of eye opening - especially if they hold up going forward. For example, Keeneland and Del Mar are both generally thought of as being higher class tracks than Kentucky Downs. But over the past four years, horses shipping in from Keeneland have a combined record of 0 wins from 17 starts. Horses shipping in from Del Mar have a combined record of just 3 wins from 32 starts and a win ROI of just 35 cents for each $1.00 bet. Yet many of these Keeneland and Del Mar shippers have taken good money - with 22 of those 49 ending up as one of the first three betting choices on the tote board - producing a truly abysmal ROI - while creating value elsewhere.

While it's true that category stats like these do have the ability to help you know who is good or overlooked at what...I contend that if you're paying attention, sometimes (often) it's the 'creating value elsewhere' part that gives category stats like these potential to be a great tool for sniffing out some 'bet againsts.'

Best of luck to you,

I pointed out that simply by betting on the race favorite, the met Ainslie at Saratoga many years ago. I can attest that 17% loss gets cut in half. he was personable and likeable, and if I had sooner realized my own writing ambitions, I may have pestered him to the limits of his graciousness. In 1968 he wrote the first version of what is certainly the groundbreaking book on horse racing: Ainslie’s Complete Guide to Thoroughbred Racing. Ainslie published two more editions of the book, the last in 1988. While racing has changed (In 1988 Ainslie referred to the Daily Double as a “lottery bet”) much of the basic information of racing remains consistent. For the emerging horseplayer, Ainslie’s Guide still might be the best place to start a handicapping education. It’s also not a bad idea for the veteran punter to occasionally go back to the basics. With nothing better to do on a cold and snowy day, I picked up my copy of the original edition of Ainslie’s Complete Guide to Thoroughbred Racing and started flipping through the pages. On page 38 was a section labeled, “The Magic So there we are. Just a short eight or nine percent from Number.” the land of milk and honey. And all we have to do to get For anyone who has forgotten, the Magic Number is 17. there is…learn how to handicap favorites.

So a hypothetical Ainslie and Fabricand definitely had the right idea, player with a $1, 000 bankroll betting $2 a race will make although they were perhaps a little too mechanical and 500 total bets and in Ainslie’s words, “would almost blind to the idea that grinding out a moderate profit lacks certainly lose no more than $170,” regardless of his broad appeal.

Put a check mark next to any horse that you believe has less than a five percent chance of winning then draw a line that separates these horses from the others. These are your non-contenders. 3. Assign the horses below the ten percent line an aggregate win percentage. For example, if there are three horses below the line, you may decide all three together only have a total 8% chance of winning. This simply provides you with the remaining percentage that you can divide among your contenders. 4. After you have taken care of your non-contenders, assign winning probability percentages, working your way up from the lowest contender to the highest contender. I like working from the bottom up because I think I am less likely to overrate the lesser animals. If you start at the top, you may “overbet” the horse, In fact, to adapt the old racing saw, it is possible to beat a much like the crowd often does. The other issue is race AND beat the races.

Let’s begin by noting what is not included in the Summary: no works, connections, trip information, lifetime starts, lifetime earnings, and no track preference data.

What to do? The “Ultimate Summary” to the rescue! Other categories will need some explanation: Here’s what it looks like: 1. “Average distance/surface pace speed”: these are the average fractional and final speeds of the horses’ most recent races at today’s distance and surface. No star indicates only one race at this distance and surface, while parentheses warn that the race occurred more than 90 days ago. 2. “Average Race Rating”: as I’ve written elsewhere, Brisnet quantifies class; the higher the number, the tougher the fields the horse has been facing. 3. “Best pace” is best pace at today‘s distance and surface within one year. 4. Rcg Spd Avg is average speed in recent races regardless of distance or surface. 5. R1, R2, R3 are Brisnet race ratings for a horse’s last three races. 6. Back Speed is simply best speed at today’s distance and surface within one year. 7. “Av Class Last 3” is the average Brisnet class (not race) rating, i.e. how well a horse performs relative to the class of its three most recent races. 8. Current Class is similar to #7, but focuses on races at today’s distance and surface. 9. ACL is a unique and intriguing feature of Brisnet’s Summary Sheet. In essence, it rates a horse’s ability to successfully compete, i.e., to finish in the money – against horses at a given competitive level at today’s distance and surface. This is a quirky rating - often at odds with the Summary’s other ratings – but it sometimes identifies horses at juicy prices. 10. Prime Power: I’ve saved the best for last. Brisnet’s Prime Power Rating is powerful! It combines dozens I chose this race at random; however, my experience of handicapping features; speed, class, pace, form, using the Summary has taught me to avoid maiden races – weight, and more.

I've begun compiling a spreadsheet that I plan on presenting to the CHRB after the summer 2016 meets for both Del Mar and Saratoga have concluded. By Jeff Platt, HANA President For those of you who might be curious about the 2016 numbers - here's how they shake out so far: In October 2014 I attended a CHRB Parimutuel and ADW Committee Meeting at Los Alamitos and presented a spreadsheet that indicated an alarming trend: In Win-Place-Show pools where both tracks have approximate level takeout rates: During the summer of 2014 Del Mar handled 82.76 percent as much as Saratoga did. But in the Exacta pool where Del Mar has a significantly higher takeout rate than Saratoga does: Del Mar handled just 54.79 percent as much as Saratoga did. I also presented the argument that if Del Mar's Exacta takeout rate had been in line with New York's Exacta takeout rate: They likely would have handled about 82.76 percent as much as Saratoga in their Exacta pools like they did in Win-Place-Show pools. I also presented a lost revenue calculation suggesting Del Mar was suffering an opportunity cost of approximately First, all numbers presented below are on an average per $10,000 per exacta pool because their exacta takeout at race basis and reflect races run from opening day at both 22.68 percent was and still is out of line with New York's meets through Monday August 22, 2016. exacta takeout rate of 18.50 percent.
