Happy New Year! Hopefully you have power after Monday's snow storm. Also, here's to hoping you are still even as we head into the first full week of racing action. Lots of excitement today as Hard Ten Stable sends out Nurturing in Race 3 -- see feature image. I will provide a "no chalk" horse in each race along with the most likely winners.
The below chart shows the horse’s likelihood of winning a race. “A” horses are most likely while (B) and (C) horses are not as likely, they may offer more value. The formation of the (A), (B) and (C) horses is derived from speed of horse, pace potential of race, training patterns, and track conditions.
| RACE | A HORSES | B HORSES | C HORSES |
| 1 | 6 | 1,4,5 | |
| 2 | 3,9 | ||
| 3 | 2 | 6,7 | |
| 4 | 2,4,6 | ||
| 5 | 1,3,5 | ||
| 6 | 6 | 1,2 | |
| 7 | 9 | 1,2,7 | |
| 8 | 6,9 | 1,3 | |
| 9 | 3 | 1 | |
| 10 | 6,7,8 | ||
