Description
Keeneland Winning Trainer Patterns offers detailed data on all Keeneland Meetings, spring and fall dating back to 2010.
It is a sensible and accepted practice to review historical data before making investments. If you ever purchased shares of a mutual fund from a securities representative, you were probably drowned with information about the great past performance of the fund, which is the best weapon the representative has to sell you on the quality of the investment. Naturally, among all of the investment warnings and small legal fine print, you are warned that past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
The same is true in Thoroughbred racing. Those of us who frequent the races know that past performance is no guarantee of future results. But just like in the financial world, we are better equipped to make good decisions about the future when we have an abundance of reliable information about the past.
Not enough horse players pay attention to trainers and how they actually win. Most players try to turn their brain into computer mode as they throw themselves into the details of the running lines found in past performances. They crunch numbers and inhale speed and pace figures as if there is no tomorrow, and all of that is important.
Keeneland is one of the great challenges for horse players. The meetings are short and horses ship from many locations. The best way to describe playing Keeneland can be found in one word: Tough. Something else that makes Keeneland a great challenge is the quality of the horseplayers. The racing is tough to handicap and the pari-mutuel competition is tough as well. A player that wants to win needs all the help available when Keeneland is the chosen battleground.
Now, let’s put trainers, Keeneland, and the past eight meetings together (four years) to try and have the best results possible for the spring meet, 2014. Our concentration will be the trainers that do more than show up and win a race. We have detailed the trainers in the last eight meetings that have been victorious at this difficult meet. For the first time we are including every trainer who has won a race at Keeneland.
How good were the multiple winning trainers? Here are a few facts
that validate the importance of these few trainers.
Keeneland held 1,222 thoroughbred races collectively in the last eight meets, dating back to the spring of 2010.
Trainers winning at least 2 races totaled 128.
The 128 multiple winners won over 90% of all races.
Of the 128 multiple winners, 60 trainers won at least 5 races.
These 60 trainers collected a total of 902 wins or 73.8% of all races.
The details of every trainer who has won a race at Keeneland and their corresponding victories over the past eight seasons are chronicled to handicappers in this one-of-a-kind book, Keeneland Winning Trainer Patterns.
