Summary of New Features in Version 12

If you have been following the Wagering Series in the ALL-Ways Newsletters, you know how important it is to be able to:

1. Classify crowd favorites as legitimate, vulnerable or false

2. Identify the two non-favorite horses most likely to win the race

3. Identify a good non-favorite Key Horse. And, you know that a good place to start is with the horses designated by ALL-Ways as Contenders or as Dangerous Non-Contenders (DNCs). The task then is to upgrade or downgrade these horses by looking at specific groups of handicapping factors, by looking at the pace scenario in the race and by looking at some specific situational handicapping factors. The new ALL-Ways Version 12 software has been designed with all of this in mind.

Version 12 lets you set your preferences for ALL-Ways to use normal or tight settings for making Contender designations and also for making DNC designations.

The new Spot Play/Final Process Handicapping Report leads you through a process to make your final handicapping and wagering decisions in an efficient and effective manner.

The comprehensive analyses of the Spot Play/Final Process handicapping factors in Version 12 reveal vital information helpful for the final selections of win, place, show and 4th place finishers.

An electronic wager teller is built into ALL-Ways Version 12 for you to quickly and easily cost and create your wagers by simply clicking your computer mouse button. And, the results are automatically captured by ALL-Ways to calculate payoffs, refunds and the profit/loss of every wager.

The extensive wagering analysis reports in Version 12 maintain accounting records of your wagers and evaluate your wagering performance by type of wager (Exactas, Superfectas, Pick 4s, etc.), by wager structure (boxing multiple horses, using Key Horses, etc.) and by race type.

One of the most valuable assets a horseplayer can own is the ability to spot potential overlays, and one method that can be successful comes through following stallions and finding ones whose progeny continually overachieve when raced on the turf. Even many novice players are aware of the merits of many of the top stallions, limiting their usefulness in regard to finding value. However, with the help of the recently published 2006 edition of the SIRE STATS book and some additional research, astute handicappers are able to isolate less well-known sires who may be profitable to follow.

Last year's leading Californian turf sire, UNUSUAL HEAT (Nureyev), is a good example. Even though he was rated "A+" at the start of the year, eight of his 34 turf winners in 2005 were largely ignored at the betting windows, returning more than $20 for each $2 win wager, including a $72 payout for Sweet Gazelle at Del Mar; $44 for Master Heat's Santa Anita victory; and a $52 return on Hot Grip at Hollywood Park. 

Being by Nureyev, who is also the sire of top turf stallion Theatrical (Ire), and out of a Scandinavian champion who also won the Flower Bowl H (G1), Unusual Heat has every right, pedigree-wise, to make a top stallion. His racing career began in Ireland, where, hindered by unsuitably soft ground, his best finish was a second in a Group 2 event. After missing his five-year-old season, Unusual Heat was sent to California at six where he showed ability for Richard Mandella before being claimed for $80,000 by trainer Barry Abrams. Unfortunately, he bowed a tendon two starts later while putting up his best stateside performance, a wire-to-wire victory at Hollywood Park.

After some efforts to sell him did not materialize, Abrams and partner Madelaine Auerbach decided to stand Unusual Heat themselves. They bred him to their own mares and raced his offspring. As a result of his success, Unusual Heat's stud fee has risen from $3,500 to $12,500 in 2006, and he's being bred to better mares. His best runners to date have been Clement Hirsch H (G2) winner Tucked Away, California Cup Mile victor Lennyfromalibu and the Grade 2-placed Juliesugardaddy, and one has to assume that more success is to come in the future. Next comes...
