2/22 - Southwest Stakes Statistics & Selections


Below are statistics and my selections for the Southwest Stakes run on Monday 2/16 at Oaklawn Park.   I will continue to post Free statistics for the remaining Kentucky Derby Future Wagers and the 50 point qualifying races. The Statistic Guides for the 100 point qualifying races and the Triple Crown races may be purchased on my website at www.bigdaystats.com

Key Stats
*Note - The Southwest Stakes was spit into two divisions in 2012 and 2002.  This means in 21 years the race has actually been contested 23 times.

The stat that really jumps off the page at me is that 17 out of the last 23 winners (74%) won their previous start.  There are 4 horses entered this year that match this criteria, they are Hillbilly Royalty, Far Right, Kantune and Bold Animaux.  Also, add in the 3 years where the winner of the Southwest finished 2nd in their previous start and that percentage covers 87% of the last 23 winners.

In 10 of the last 21 years the Southwest Stakes field has contained at least one horse that ran the average running time (referred to as par or 100 on our scale) or greater in their previous race.  These horses won the Southwest in 6 out of those 10 years (60%) and produced a positive ROI of 83%.  In those 10 years, there have been 12 horses total run in the Southwest that ran par or greater in their previous race.  They have a Superfecta record of 6-0-2-1.  The horses that fit this criteria in this years race are Far Right (102), Bayerd (100) and Mr. Z (100).  These horses are excellent key horses to use in exotic bets.

Horses that run either on the lead or within 2 lengths of the leader seem to do well.  They have won 15 out of 23 Southwest Stakes.

Selections & Analysis
OP Race 8 - Southwest Stakes G3 - Action+
A - #6 Far Right (5/2) - Horses that have run a 102 or higher in their last race have won the Southwest 56% of the time, been in the Trifecta 89% and the Superfecta 100%.  Also, horses that won their last start are 17 for 23.  He seems the best and having Mike Smith doesn't hurt, but he'll need some pace.  Win choice and I think the stats make him the best key horses.
B - #1 Bayerd (5-1) - Horses that ran above par in the previous race are 60% with a positive ROI.  If he goes off at 5-1 I think he offers good value.
C - #11 Mr. Z (3-1) - He's run some good numbers, but he needs to prove he can win.  Though two of those races were decided by a head or less.  Probably going to let him beat me in the win category, exotics use.
D - #3 Hillbilly Royalty (7/2) - Newcomer to the race once it was rescheduled.  Big speed figure last out was earned while racing solely on the lead.  Lots to prove.  Exotics.
E - #4 Private Prospect (12-1) - I don't see him winning, but I think he could land in the exotics at a price.
