When it comes to maidens or lightly raced winners. Pedigree is tops for me. Especially the Dams offspring stats. That will tell you a ton. Then in those same races, trainer and jockey stats will also shed some light on what they are good at or just plain terrible. Sometimes great pedigree stats will over ride average or less than average jockey/trainer stats. I'll give you an example from Saratogas 6th race on Saturday. The Dams offspring stats for the 8 and 10 stuck out to me..The 8's Dam is Strawberry Sense...Turf routes 29/6-6-2..5 starters and 3 winners...The 10's Dam is Sandtina...Turf routes 79/12-14-17..6 starters and 3 winners...So 14 of 29 itm for the 8's offspring runners in turf routes and 43 of 79 for the 10's offspring runners in turf routes..They ran 2nd and 4th...Not bad for a 28-1 and 37-1...I see shit like this all the time. You can get huge odds like this when they run a clunker their first time out.
