Trifecta Key Box Success Note:

 

If a trifecta bet is $1, then a trifecta BOX involving five horses would cost $60 (60 combinations).

A trifecta KEY box for five horses at $1 per bet costs only $36. That is because you are keying your top horse, meaning he must finish in the top three to collect, which eliminates 24 possible combinations under statistics principles.

I used my top picks at Oaklawn Sunday in two trifecta key boxes for their respective races.

I missed the trifecta with Race 8 although Bru Na Boine won. I hit the trifecta by way of a trifecta key box in Race 9 even though my top horse came in third.

My key horse was Muhimma who finished third, so that validated that part of the win. I also had Quietside in my bet as part of my top five for the race, and he paid $22.40 to win. I also had Five G in my top five and he paid $9.20 to place.

As a result the trifecta key box paid me $138.70 for an $18 wager ($.50). Not a bad return.

I am loving this wager was since I recently learned of it, and that’s pretty much the only wager I make. I use my enhanced version to include the four companions to my ultimate or penultimate pick as the case may be.

RACE 6

Very closely graded

 

Eight raced at RD and seven of the eight won at RD. Rose of Jericho never won any dirt sprint. This is a match race among four entries, with Twilight Empire having won at Rd last time out.

 

Twilight Empire  the lightly raced eight year old still sports steady speed figures in sprints, and she won here at RD last time out, with Frey in command, she looks best in a rather pedestrian field

Brookys Gal   top 2025 earner, she won a heady six of ten trips at RD, including that narrow win last time out at RD, with the advantage of the Americano weight allowance which again is in play, she is a bit short on rest

Harney Lane   she hit the board in all four trips at RD, winning once last September, she finished less than a length behind Twilight Empire last time out despite a bumpy start, topflight rider rides again

 

 

 

RACE 7

 

Nine contestants raced, only Master Jacques at RD and he failed to hit the board. Altogether three entries hit the board in a dirt sprint: Mutt Dillin, General Jackson and Code Breaker. Five entries are unrested.

 

Code Breaker   he turns back 330 feet after hitting the board in his debut, with Aguilar driving, Pederson kills the dirt sprint and Pederson/Aguilar $$$$ historically

Mutt Dillin   a bit short on rest, but he placed in his first two sprints, at 6f, he turns back 330 feet and  Ms. Capestro kills the turf-to-dirt transition as here, Valdivia knows the colt well

Sawtooth Bow   he drops precipitously from MSW level, and turns back 1,650 feet, he will enjoy that Carmona five pound weight allowance, akin to giving the gelding a head start in such a short race

 

 

 

 RACE 8

Very closely graded

 

The B. Wayne Hughes Beholder Mile Stakes

Grade 1, one mile, main track ($300000)

 

All raced at Rd and four of six entries won at RD. All entries have won dirt routes. Hoosier Philly and Ultimate Authority have never won at graded stakes level.

Bob Baffert enters two; Brad Cox enters Tarifa.

 

Tarifa    the Cox entry, top 2024 earner by far, turns back a furlong, and he won a heady four of his six routes, all longer than RD, two at graded stakes level, the filly is lightly raced and well-rested, and The Inimitable Mike Smith rides

Richi     the lightly raced, rested mare won all three trips at RD (7 ½ f), and all of those wins were graded stakes in Chile, she won a Grade III sprint here last January, the Baffert entry may not mind the rail, gets new rider Fresu

Cavalieri   this Baffert entry turns back 330 feet after that win last time out, with the elite Hernandez atop, she also won both of her trips at RD, same rider, she too is lightly raced, well-r

 

 

 

RACE 9

 

The San Simeon

Grade III, six and one-half furlongs, turf course ($100000)

 

All raced at RD and five of the contestants won at RD, not Gaslight Dancer, Anarchist or St Anthony.

Only three entries won at graded stakes level: Air Force Red, Anarchist and Mucho Del Oro.

Two contestants are unrested.

 

Mucho Del Oro   he hit the board in nine of his last ten turf sprints, winning five of them, two at graded stakes level, and Hernandez produced three of the gelding’s nine wins, and he won five of eight turf trips at RD, O’Neill likes the turf sprint to boot

Sorrento Sky (IRE- County Louth) he hit the board in seven of eight sprints on grass, winning four of them, two of three at RD, Fresu produced three of the colt’s four wins, once at RD, the colt is a tad short on rest but vacationed in January

Charge for Gold   looks like he won’t mind the rail; he won here at RD last time out with Frey aboard who produced a turf route win on the colt as well, Oviedo/Frey $$$$$ historically
