The 2017 racing season ended at Oaklawn Park on Saturday with the running of the Arkansas Derby. Classic Empire ran away with the Grade I stakes and placed himself in the conversation about the race in Kentucky in about 3 weeks.
Below is a summary of the results from my Monte Carlo program for the week of the Racing Festival of the South. The first 2 days of the week were fantastic with positive returns on $2 win bets on each of the top selections (+$9.80 and +$28.80). However, the Friday results were abysmal - the worst day of the season for selections on the board with only 1 winner. The program selected only 1 outright winner again on Arkansas Derby day. So, for the week, the program finished with a profit of $1.80 over the 41 races. For the season (since February 17), the program was +$104.00 over the 336 races that were predicted. In the weeks that follow, I will provide some additional statistical information about the season that just ended at Oaklawn Park.
