Madefromlucky (05/29/15)

Could a horse American Pharoah has already beat pull the upset in the Belmont?



American Pharoah (4/5) is the deserving favorite heading into the Belmont Stakes after winning the first two legs of the Triple Crown. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner is racing against history looking to become the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years.

Frosted (5/1) and Materiality (8/1) are the two most likely horses bettors will back to upset American Pharoah, but could a horse he has already beat twice surprise?

Madefromlucky lost to American Pharoah in the Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby by a combined 15 lengths (read Predicteform's Arkansas Derby Analysis). Taking a page from last year's Belmont Stakes winner, Tonalist, trainer Todd A. Pletcher opted not to race Madefromlucky in the Kentucky Derby or Preakness Stakes. You can read Predicteform's 2014 Belmont Stakes Analysis which accurately predicted Tonalist to upset California Chrome.

Instead, Madefromlucky ran in the Peter Pan and won, just like Tonalist did prior to his Belmont Stakes win last year. As seen from the chart below, Madefromlucky has similar Final and Four Furlong figures to Tonalist entering the last leg of the Triple Crown (about two points off for each). Furthermore, both horses were coming off positive Form Cycle Patterns, Tonalist and his NPT (New Pace Top), while Madefromlucky is currently sitting on a SOFT Pattern (with a previous NPT).

Madefromlucky is positioned as a Breakout candidate in our Value Plays. A breakout runner is a horse that is expected to improve significantly from previous races based on pace and form. These are generally undervalued horses. Madefromlucky is currently the sixth betting favorite at 20/1.

All of the horse racing world is focused on American Pharoah and his run for the record books, but don't be surprised if history repeats itself.

How do I get started?
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.
