Thursday’s Power Page hit a small home run when our top rated horse — Shoutout (#6) winning at 7/2, with the 7,4 & 1  finishing  out the Exacta at $88.00, the trifecta at $377.00 and the Superfecta paying $1,745.00.   For those who listen on Race Day Las Vegas, you heard me call this a SINGLE and to play this over the 1,4,7 .  Sometimes it’s simply that easy, but if you listen each day to Race Day, you will hear me try and explain how to use the Power Page, hopefully to it’s maximum effectiveness.   Shoutout looked like a heavy favorite to me, but the public made Irish Eddie K the odds on favorite and completely lost site of Shoutout — who in the end, did the shouting from the winners circle!  Shoutout was rated at 66.0 with the next best at 64.0,63.3 5, 62.5 with the rest at 58.0 or less and Irish Eddie K as a Shipper…  That’s the facts…

The main thing that the Inner Dirt track has shown so far is a consistent bias to horses racing near the rail.   Throughout the month of December, we have seen horses come to the ID and show their liking or disliking for the surface, since we have had generally very good weather, we should read these points of data as signs that horses are handling or not handling the surface.   One comment, we have not had a FREEZE and a Thaw at this point, so there might be some accumulated moisture in the base, so stay alert…
