Can looking at total furlongs worked/raced over the past 90 days result in consistent, solid plays? 

You bet your Bippy it can! 

Just like walking 10,000 steps per day can improve your health,

horses traveling a set number of Furlongs over a given three-month period can have a distinct advantage on fitness and form, and pay some sneakily big prices!

Strength, Durability, Purpose, Habit

Trainer Ron Ellis, at a seminar for horse owners, said that he felt the most important thing in developing a good racehorse is to get them into the Habit of doing what they are bred to do.

“This means that you train them from the gate until the entering and leaving the gate becomes second nature to them. You then work them a certain number of furlongs, fairly frequently, and you emphasize to the rider to continue to let them stretch their legs after the end of the workout, rather than coming to a quick stop.

“Then, you experiment to find a horse’s proper distance. Once you have a good idea of how far a horse will go, you can put more furlong work into him that will prepare him for his future races. 

“The most critical factor, I have found, is to get a good number of furlongs under a runner, both in races and in workouts.

“By conditioning a horse this way, it not only improves Strength and Durability, but also gives him a sense of Purpose, where he knows his job and is anxious to complete it.

“I’ve been doing this for over 45 years now and it almost always is the case that the horse with the most furlongs under him in a given race, will run very well. And because the general public has no clue about this training regimen, the prices can often be great.”

>>Ron, by the way, has over 6,400 lifetime starts, over 70 Graded Stakes victories, and an on-the-board hit rate of 53%, one of the highest in the business.

+++++ FREEE!!!   Len’s Trainer Tempo Software!!

Len probably does more research regarding trainers than any other aspect of the game.

‘The Trainer is the ‘brains’ behind the brawn.  He is the ‘director’, so to speak, as he looks for spots to enter his horses where he feels they will do best.

‘Now, trainers who are really good at this will be in the top 10 of the trainer standings at almost every meet.

‘They leave a ‘statistical’ trail, a pattern, or a ‘tempo’ as I like to call it, where their past results can often determine their future results. 

‘The Trainer Tempo Software! is designed to locate these winning/in the money Trainer ‘Tempos.

‘You will find this a very, very useful tool to locate these runners, often at a very nice price.’
