One of the winners selected by the program was a 36-to-1 long shot (see the 6th race). Here the results from Saturday. The picks can be seen here.

On the other hand the Monte Carlo program was ICE COLD at Oaklawn Park on Sunday, February 26, 2017. After 6 winners on Saturday, the program picked just two on Sunday.

February 19 and February 20 MC Algorithm Results from Oaklawn Park

Well, the first week of using the Monte Carlo method to pick winners at Oaklawn Park is in the books. Overall, it was not a bad week, but I intend to keep tracking the progress until the end of the Winter Meet. Keep in mind that I am not actually putting money on these horses. I am simply asking a "what if" I selected these horses using this computer simulation.

Let me give an example, "What if I purchased a $1.00 Exacta box on the 3 picks produced by the program for the week?" There were 38 races so my investment in such a strategy would be 38 x $6.00 = $228.00. This doesn't account for the savings on scratched horses, so the investment is actually $10-$20 less. The strategy would have hit these exacta results:

  • Feb 17 (Race 6): 6/2 Exacta - $14.10
  • Feb 17 (Race 7): 2/5 Exacta - $132.70
  • Feb 18 (Race 9): 2/8 Exacta - $29.20
  • Feb 19 (Race 7): 12/7 Exacta - $23.50
  • Feb 20 (Race 2): 2/10 Exacta - $227.80
The total return is $427.30 for a profit of more than $199.30. Someone that used these picks to do that should consider using the PayPal tip jar found in the left banner at the top of the blog. Anyway, that is how I am using this program and picks. February 19 picks can be seen here. Here are the results:
  • 1st Race
    • 2 - Hank's Alibi [Win]
      •  $9.40  $4.60  $3.80
    • 12 - Ms. D's Last Storm [Also Ran]

Oaklawn Park Race Picks for February 17, 2017

Today, I start with the first set of Monte Carlo simulation results for the horse racing picks. Going forward, I will be reporting on how well my model does rather than my attempts to decipher past performance data. I have also decided not to include all the class, distance, and conditions for the races going forward because those are easily accessible at the track, at Equibase, or at Brisnet. Let's hope the computer knows what it is calculating about...

  • 1st Race
    • 4 - Funny Questions
    • 6 - Tempo Seeker
    • 1 - Dusty
  • 2nd Race
    • 7 - Artic Vortex
    • 8 - Bandolera's Gold
    • 9 - First Heart Break
  • 3rd Race
    • 6 - Malibu Tide
    • 3 - Lotto Cat
    • 4 - Ring Necked
  • 4th Race
    • 7 - Hollarforadollar
    • 2 - Fleet Grey
    • 4 - Titfortat
  • 5th Race
    • 6 - Pirate's Moon
    • 8 - Hanalei Surf Dog
    • 4 - Bob Engleberger
  • 6th Race
    • 6 - Solve
    • 1 - Glitnir
    • 2 - Cutacorner
  • 7th Race
    • 8 - Hello Everybody
    • 5 - Zella Rose
    • 2 - Sage's Epiphany
  • 8th Race
    • 3 - Wilbo
    • 9 - Imahit
    • 5 - W. B. Smudge
  • 9th Race
    • 11 - Ristan
    • 6 - Mountain Home
    • 2 - She's Undawnted

Now, let's recap how I did with the picks from yesterday that were based on my intuition rather a computer model. There are a ton of "Also Ran" entries in my picks, but using the metrics often found on horse racing tout sheets I picked 3 winners, 2 exactas, and a trifecta. If you wagered properly (that is, if you only bet on the horses that came in - how about that for a metric), you would have racked in $132.85.

New Feature - Oaklawn Park Racing Tips (February 16, 2017)

My youngest brother (Lee) and I have become enthusiastic about following the Winter Horse Racing Meet at Hot Springs' Oaklawn Park. While I am just starting out as a handicapper, I would like to share my daily picks for the remainder of the season. I will track them and let you know how I am doing. I have added a PayPal button to the top left side for leaving gratuities. If you use my picks and have a good day at the races, please come back and share the fortune with me.

Through 20 race dates (180 races) at Oaklawn Park in 2017, the post time favorite has won 37.2% of the time while finishing in the money (Win, Place, or Show) 64.4%. I have been tracking how a $2 Win bet on every post time favorite ($18/day) would do over the season. I have good news and bad news. The good news - until last Sunday, someone choosing to bet on the favorite a couple of minutes prior to post would be having a positive year (+$4 over the course of 171 races). The bad news - Sunday's favorites pushed us into negative territory with only 2 favorites winning. For the 2017 season to date, a $2 Win bet on the post time favorite has returned $1.988. If you want to cash tickets, put some money on the favorites. They are favorites for a reason.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE treat going to the races as a $40 night at the movies: enjoy the famous Corned Beef sandwich, enjoy the show - watch the horses AND the people, and leave entertained (instead of out of money).
