The objective of this analysis is to identify horses with plus or minus evaluations that are not identifiable in the harness racing program.
Horses whose performances are accurately captured in the past performances are not captured here, regardless of how well or poorly they may have raced. These scores do not indicate must bet or must toss the next time they race because other handicapping factors will come in to play. But it does give the bettor a huge edge in what is frequently the most important factor when making betting decisions. We recommend saving this data as other factors may cause a horse to have one or more issues (e.g., interference, layoffs, breaks, off track, driver change) and you will want to go back to the last line that appeared clean on the program.
However, many flagged horses have been coming in with generous payouts. Please note that horses that ship in are not tracked in the Meadowlands/Freehold analysis and win many races, but horses that ship between M1 and Freehold have produced some of the bigger payouts. In addition, do not expect to see many favorites on the winners list. They frequently show their abilities in the past performances, and are less likely to be given a score.
You may want to track flagged horses shipping to other tracks.
No Freehold this week and only a couple of winners with hidden form connected this week at The Meadowlands. Few of them raced (watch for them shipping to Yonkers and elsewhere), while The Meadowlands story this weekend was trainers (Engblom – 7 wins — and also Estrada back from vacation) and driver Jason Bartlett won 9 races.
This weekend’s winners that were identified in previous analyses:
Meadowlands 1-19 Race 9 PHEENOM SEELSTER $19 Scored +2 on 12-22, then interfered with in last
Meadowlands 1-20 Race 11 ITS SHOWTIME $5.40 Scored +2 in last
Meadowlands Qualifiers 1-20
