G1 Met Mile (07/04/20)

Belmont Park, Race 11

A stellar field makes up this year's edition of the “Met Mile” where one winner will punch their ticket to the Breeder's Cup Classic. Let's touch on some of the field's prominent runners from a Pace Figure standpoint.

#1 Network Effect 8/1

Increased 4F speed over last four tries at a mile culminating in a NPT (New Pace Top) last out going shorter. The NPT is a significant conditioning factor and most runners show improved energy distribution when racing back quickly.

#2 Vekoma 5/2

Runner has been nicely “compressed” balancing good speed for position with good finishing ability to notch high Final Figures. Last out, spiked an 82/80 DTOP. The DTOP is an indicator of likely next-out regression. Without proper recovery time, setting a lifetime top 4F along with Final is tough to sustain and this one wheels back in 28 days off that type of move.

#3 McKinzie 2/1

The year's debut of 72/76 sprinting indicates positively toward today's added distance. Dirt spreads are defined as 4F minus Final giving McKinzie a -4 for that performance indicating more energy was distributed later in the race. The majority of sprinters display positive dirt spreads (higher 4F than Final).

#5 Code Of Honor 3/1

Best work has come at longer distances when he showed up with 80 Finals last fall. The 4F and 6F Figures settle in the 60s and put this one at a position disadvantage, but Belmont's big, sweeping turns do afford closer types a better shot than other tracks. He does own a win at this track and distance last summer scoring at 61/76 with a SOFT designation. The SOFT designation lets us know the win was accompanied by lower 4F and Final Figures than the previous race so that day's field likely wasn't very strong and Code Of Honor could have given more if needed.

#7 Mr Freeze 8/1

Runner has been very consistent in setting Finals around and above the 78 range while also securing position with 4F Figures in the 70s. The -7 dirt spread last out (72-79) was the “latest-running” spread we've seen from this runner in 2 years.

#8 Warrior's Charge 12/1

Last out's 76/80 is top of the field's recent performances by just a bit. Runner's 4F Figs have increased rapidly over the last 3 routes so a cutback down to a mile could translate to a spot this one will try to get loose.

Visit the Learn tab on the navigation bar where you'll find the Predicteform.com Legend and Pattern Guide. These two tools combined will give you the knowledge you need to use Predicteform.com:

The Legend helps to explain how best to read the Pace Figures. It clearly defines what every line, symbol and figure means.

The Pattern Guide highlights Form Cycle Patterns, a series of 12 symbols/abbreviations, each with its own definition. These patterns are the easiest and most effective way to evaluate what we can expect from a horse's future performance and expected form cycle.

Value Play Picks use the automated technology and process to evaluate every track and race as well as the Predicteform.com team's analytical expertise, we can now rank every horse by its likelihood of winning the race and value (initially relative to morning line odds).
Value Play picks are included as part of all subscriptions and you can view now on the Free Race of the Day.

Blinker's Off - We have also published founder Cary Fotias' unabridged book on Form Cycle Analysis, available by chapter free to all who register.

Free Race of the Day – Every day, we will make available the Pace Figures and Value Play Picks for at least one race. Pace Figures are what subscribers, both in the Value Play Picks and the comprehensive "advanced" view, can see for every horse of every race at every track. Check out today's free race here.

Free Track of the Weekend - Each weekend (Fri. - Sun.), Predicteform will offer access to the Value Play Picks, Pace Figures and Form Cycle Patterns. Access to this data will provide new users an ability to follow along and learn how read, analyze and use the Predicteform technology.
