Platinum Sports Investing Club Free Play for 8/13/13

Sports Investors,

I took Monday off but we are back at it today.  There is nothing to draw on in MLB as any team with a pulse is -185 or worse and none of them are worth -130 so we'll pass there and head to beautiful Fort Erie Racetrack for todays Freebie....


PSIC Free play for 8/13/2013

6:30PM  FORT ERIE RACETRACK RACE 6

#2 ARC EN CIEL 12/1 - At first glance one might say...Tod, have you lost your mind?  This horse lost a maiden 5k claimer last time out and now he's stepping up to Maiden Special Weights.  Normally that is a significant jump, however if you look at the field, to be honest they're all losers.  They've all just come out of cheapie maiden claimers and actually I love the fact that he's lost LESS than the others.  Most maiden races are not won by a horse trying for the 15th time.  There are other things to like in addition to being the better option in a race of proven losers.  First off, he has a good trainer and that means everything in maidens.  Second, the trainer has chosen his "go to" jockey for this race.  As a Jockey / Trainer combo they win NEARLY 30% together and at todays price that makes it an automatic look anyway.  The last thing I like is that his running style fits well in this race with this field.  He's got a good late kick and he will be relatively close to the front. If the race unfolds for him, he'll sit about 4th most of the way and take on the leaders at the top of the stretch and draw off for an easy winner at a nice price!!   At 12/1 on the morning line, it's certainly value enough to warrant a play.

Good luck everyone,

Tod Wilkinson
