rdalert447 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I've done well with this angle over the years, and tracked it for the first time last year. The results were:Keeneland Spring 2016: 8 wins/48 starts, Profit of 15 unitsKeeneland Fall 2016: 7 wins/37 starts, Profit of 34 units.The angle is to bet WIN ONLY on any horse trained by a person with the last name of Foley, Oliver, and Scherer. The idea behind it is every year these families win a handful of races down there at big prices. That leads me to believe that they are sharp, they specifically point their barns to this meet, and the race writers do them favors from time to time.Last years big stars were Vickie Oliver($44 horse, $87 horse) and Merrill Scherer(couple of wins in the $15-$20 range). It is an inexpensive way to follow a tricky meet, so figured I'd post it here if anyone wants to follow along.Unfortunately there will be races where we bet multiple entrants, but hopefully some big prices offset that. Last fall, two of the trainers combined for an $800 exacta that is not included in the tally above. Also, this angle extends through the first week of Churchill up to the last race on Derby Day.Good luck to all involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeinkeToWarrick Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Like that 9, RD. No dominant favorite in that race and in two races in Kentucky at that distance she's got a win and a head-bob second. Will have her in my pick 4 and in exotics. My pick 4 for tomorrow is:3/4/72/6/92/3/52/4/7 Weird ticket structure but I couldn't narrow it down and didn't wanna leave out the price horses. And a short ticket with 7...1/2/4/5/6...2/5...4.
