Class Rating- The link in the article might answer some questions.

Phil- One would think BH would be eager to answer questions about their product.

Tampa R6 10 Cutie's Rose (10-1)- been off for almost three months since the claim following three straight better than looks efforts in turf routes, including a 'Quick to Zip' moves into an Extreme two races ago and a hopeless chasing position behind an Extreme for Speed four back.

Brisnet Host-

I believe long time contributor 'predict' had a legit question regarding the foundation of your class rating.

Some participation by the writers of these topics often lead to increased dialogue. Or not.

Thanks.

As good a stretch long two horse battle as you will ever see in the opener at AQ.

In the previous Tampa Bay meet I was using the program and handicapping from PPs. I was getting killed as the fancied horses continued to bite the dust.

I decided to change strategy and selected the horses that impressed me in the post parade. It so happened that a 38-1, 9-1 and 15-1 captured my attention. I boxed them with two others in $1 Tri. The 38-1 won and the Tri paid $3,700 for $1.

It is virtually impossible to use traditional means only to handicap horses that ship to TB. Some like the track others do not. Most of them are claimers and not very good ones.

On Wednesday I wagered a $0.50 Tri - all with the 1-2 favorite with all ($45). I really did not like the 1-2 horse because his last race was in January. However, I reluctantly used him.

A 61-1 debutant won the race and the 1-2 finished off the board. The $0.50 Tri paid $3,900. I could have easily used the more appealing 9-1 horse that finished 2nd in addition to the 1-2.

TB is a tough track that requires strength of cash to survive.

Class = ability to run well against better competition than the horse is facing today. This could be a good record at today's level when the rest of the field doesn't have such a record, or some success at higher levels (straight 16K claimers vs straight 12,5K claimers). Determining which levels are better than today's races can be tricky, since a starter 12,5K can have a much better field than a 16Kn2L claimer.

You can be right and still lose. Narcissism at its finest.

To think you can beat this game going on generalized percentages..........is the quickest way to the poor house............really? the top 3 horses that ran the fastest won 64 percent? this is garbage! the horse that ran against better won a good percentage? listen.......just give up the game, if you believe you can beat the races using percentages.........the only way, is to know , that every horse is different, how that horse is going to run on this day.....

Tampa 8th

4 Mister Pippit (9/5) recorded a solid 'vs Flow Win' at Belmont last out. This 8f turf test screams of a 'ZipFest' (fast, contested early splits) which should have closers finishing fast.
