Saratoga Bad-Trip Horses ROI: 20.9%

A 21% return isn't half bad through my three-week (of five) test of notional $2 win-place bets on horses making starts following races where they had a legitimate excuse for losing (e.g., jockey error). 










As you can see, 4 of 14 were winners, two more finished second, and two finished third. As posted previously, Sky Low Low's bad trip at almost 14-1 cost my ROI substantially, but we move forward.

I plan on reviewing the past two weeks' races for more bad-trip horses to add but have a few entered during the August 26-30 week at Saratoga Race Course.

Here's what's ahead thru Travers Day:

  • Madagascar (5-1): Thursday, August 27, Race 6
  • Coach Case (8-5): Thursday, August 27, Race 9
  • Ah Ca Ira (3-1): Friday, August 28, Race 2
  • Ed Charles (15-1): Friday, August 28, Race 6
    • Will give another shot after his follow-up clunker a few weeks ago; still young horse
  • Whitethorn (10-1): Friday, August 28, Race 8
  • Queen of Hawaii (2-1): Saturday, August 29, Race 10
