ALL-Ways™ Handicapping Profiles
for
The Oak Tree Meet at Santa Anita including the 2009 Breeders’ Cup

 

This set of ALL-Ways Handicapping Profiles for Oak Tree includes five special profiles to use for handicapping the Breeders’ Cup races on Friday November 6th and Saturday November 7th.

 

bc aws dirt sprints Use for all “all weather surface” dirt sprints
bc aws dirt routes Use for all “all weather surface” dirt routes
bc turf sprints Use for all turf sprints
bc short turf routes Use for all short turf routes (1 mile)
bc long turf routes Use for all long turf routes (1 ¼ and 1 ½ mile)


Note: All “dirt” profiles in the complete set of profiles were developed using only races run on the new
Pro Ride All Weather Surface during the 2009 Santa Anita Meet.

 

There are two other sets of Handicapping Profiles that can be used at any time for races at Oak Tree. These profiles all share the following profile naming convention:
ds = dirt sprint ts = turf sprint os = off track sprint
dr = dirt route tr = turf route or = off track route

 

MRA Default Profiles:

 

There are three profiles for each race type including separate profiles for maiden and non-maiden races: Here is how to interpret the dirt sprint MRA Default profiles:

m1: ds Does not consider pace.
m1: ds early Favors early running horses.
m1: ds late Favors late running horses.

 

MRA Pace Profiles:

 

Again, there are separate sets of profiles for each race type including separate profiles for maiden and non-maiden races: They are further refined to the specific Race Pace Shape being run. Here is how to select the correct profile for a race.

Fast Use for fast pace races (ESP = “EEE” and “EE”).
Lone Use for races with lone early runners (ESP = “E” and “EP and “EP-P”).
Honest Use for honest pace races (ESP = “E-EP” and “EP-EP”).
Slow Use for slow paced races (ESP: All other not listed above).
 

 

Reminder: You can use three different profiles for handicapping a race. ALL-Ways will handicap the race three times and show you the results for each profile used. A very effective way to use the three profile capability on Breeder’s Cup days is as follows:

 

            Profile Position #1      Use the appropriate special Breeder’s Cup profile

            Profile Position #2      Use the appropriate MRA Pace Profile

            Profile Position #3      Use the appropriate non-pace MRA Default
