After running what looked like a poor race in the San Felipe, So Happy returned in the Santa Anita Derby with a monster win, in a super fast race for this class of horses. Certainly, one of the fastest Santa Anita Derby we have seen and I will add, that anyone who saw the race had to think he looked very good in doing it!
The Handicapping decision is a tough one though, as we will have to decide if his victory in the Santa Anita Derby is one that he can duplicate, before we consider his chances of winning. Of course, there are other exciting young horses who can also move forward in their form to post a fantastic run in the Kentucky Derby, but at this point, if So Happy can run an equal effort to his amazing run in the Santa Anita Derby, the others will have to improve, which I expect they can.
Home of the “POP OUT KEY”
Understanding and identifying Pop Out Key horses is at the cornerstone of both good handicapping and the Power Page PLUS. The word PLUS is identifying horses that I think have a decent chance to win the race and a Morning/Line price that is an advantage or classically called an overlay.
We provide an array of useful information in additions to our Pop Out Keys! From Projected Power Numbers – useful for quickly ordering race drom top to bottom. Then we add in additional informational ideas such as “Early Speed” identifiers, Mud Marks, and our exceptional price identifiers in the “V” horses and of course my famous STAR horses… all designed to help you build out your decision on which horse will give you the best chance to capture an overlay!
