Sharing one angle I use in my own point system

[mysaladdays]

I have a chart where I score the horses on my own angles and some angles that others use.   One that I made up gives points to how strong fields were that horses raced in.  Here is one such table I made:


Two Phils didn't get into the KY Derby gate based on his dirt races. He got 8 points for 2nd in the Lecomte and 15 points for running 3rd in the Risen Star.  He had to race at TP to win against Major Dude and Funtastic.    2 horses who did not make the gate at all.   As a matter of fact, all 11 horses in that race didn't make it into the KY Derby gate.



Something he shares with the following horses in these stated races:

Jeff Ruby Steaks - 0 horses made it into the gate from that race other than himself Two Phils

Gotham - 0 horses in this race made it into the gate from that race except the winner himself Raise Cain

Sunland Derby - 0 horses in this race made the Ky Derby gate except winner himself Wild on Ice

Lexington Stakes -0 horses in the race who made it into the Derby gate except winner himself Disarm



Yet in these following races, horses had already made the gate (proven), or were running against those who would prove themselves to make the gate:

FL Derby - 2 horses
AR Derby - 3 horses
Bluegrass Stakes - 3 horses
Rebel Stakes - 3 horses
Fountain of Youth - 4 horses
San Felipe - 2 horses
Tampa Bay Derby - 2 horses
UAE Derby - 2 horses
Louisiana Derby - 4 horses
Wood Memorial - 2 horses
Santa Anita Derby - 2 horses


This is one way I score horses in my own point system. It's a glance at what races had strong horses in them. What horses were in the field where they finally won and how strong was the field?   In other words I would have to demand pretty high odds on horses in the "O" category if that makes sense.  

I think it holds some water as ONE ANGLE I use.  You can see at a quick glance what you set out to see for this angle.  Let me know what you think.

Using my own patented system I came up with Tapit Trice 😉.

Saladdays I am thoroughly enjoying all your posts. I too believe that the company you keep in these races gives some credence to their ability. Yesterday I won a Horse Tourney contest but there were only three participants. I'll take the win but it in no way does it put me in the class with you other expert handicappers.

Bev, I can see how you came up with Tapit Trice! LOL

 This makes so much sense!   It's the clarity that impressed me.
