Can anybody advise on how to analyze the Ramsey entries at Keeneland this October? I recall that someone was going to look into whether his horses back in April were running all tops or if they were just being placed shrewdly. Any results?
Ramsey has already entered a number of horses for Friday. Some appear to fit, some do not. Looks to me like a lot of guessing and gnashing of teeth will be taking place. They made a lot of claims at Saratoga that have run back at Churchill and did not pan out (not hitting the board at Churchill in September).
It looks like each one of these Ramsey droppers are basically 50/50 to be competitive (good claims or bad claims) at low odds. I was curious as to how others are treating these runners.
A stat:
Horses Owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey are 103-for-323 in all Turf races this year. 32% wins & a $2.44 ROI on the lawn. $7,260,484 in earnings
Friday Ramsey opinions
Race 2: #10, Christiesborntorun: Must use in horizontals. Likely winner less than 2-1.
Race 3: #7 Bold Visionary: Possible winner but I\'m playing against with other potential young talent in the race at better value.
Race 4: #9 Top Tier Lass. Possible winner, Playing an exacta box with my best bet of the day, #8 St. Louie Slew (Fairmount based shipper that is in razor sharp form) and betting #8 to win (and singling in horizontals) to try to beat this Ramsey charge.
Race 5: #4 Tiu, Same rational as race 3 above but I think Bold Visionary has a better chance to win than this one. Might use as a \"b\" or \"c\" type contender in horizontals though with St. Louie Slew in race 4.
Race 6: #8 Lonesome Street, using prominently as an \"A\" type contender in horizontals along with two others.
Race 7: #1 One Golden Road, Race is too difficult for me to decipher a solid opinion. I\'m sitting out with no clue on the race or this Ramsey charge.
I put the over/under at 2 as I\'m expecting two winners on the day for the Ramsey\'s. Good Luck. Keeneland\'s card Friday is fantastic, better than Saturday\'s for bettors, Saturday\'s card loaded with graded stakes races although a few races offering no value.
Note: Mark Casse last year in the fall I believe had four starters, two wins, one place, and one show at Keeneland.
