I had a quick call with Dave yesterday. We talked for a minute about profit contenders and I brought up "H" horses that I saw were winning with high Penelope Speed (Spd) rankings. Less than a 1/2 hour after the call-- boom.
TAM R7, #9 Acquisitive-- H5. $85.40 winner. Acquisitive doesn't look that great on paper (or using my Object), but has several positives. PEN Rank 2, EP Race Running Style, E/EP Rank 1's and Spd Rank 1. Early Pace, Dirt to Turf and cut back in distance. Speed rating 4 races back is Rank 1. Stretch Call Best Ever (SCB1E) is Rank 1. But, we don't have to do all of this handicapping, DET does that for us and puts us on a solid contender.
SAX R1, #2 Sneaking Candy-- H4. $14.80 winner. Another sneaky contender. Doesn't look great on paper, but again, Spd Rank 2. PEN and BH Ranks 3. Solid Speed rating 2 races back and another SCB1E Rank 1.
First, look for "H's" with high Spd Rankings. Then check the other BH and Pace columns for positive signs.
