Belmont Park celebrates its 100th birthday this year, and the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships is the highlight of this prestigious fall meet. For handicappers the question is "what role will Belmont Park play in the outcome of the eight races?" By tapping into the Brisnet.com database and researching the appropriate distances/surfaces, we've tried to answer just that question.
 
Juvenile Races: In the 42 juvenile races run at 8.5 furlongs since 1997, the majority of the winners broke from the inside posts of one through three, with the rail post (one hole) alone accounting for 23.8% winners. The preferred running styles were Early/Pressers (E/P) and Pressers (P).
 
Put a high premium on tactical speed. Three-quarters of the winners were within two lengths of the early lead at the first call (half mile). Only 7% of the winners closed from farther back than five lengths.
 
Distaff: E and E/P types dominated the 60 one-turn nine furlong races for fillies and mares. This accounted for over 80% of the winners. Wire-to-wire frontrunners accounted for 31.7% of the winners.
 
Distaffers tended to favor inside posts, specifically the two and three posts. Despite the one-turn distance, fillies and mares breaking from outside posts performed very poorly.
 
Mile: It's not impossible to win from an outside post, but inside and middle draws are preferred. Give the slight edge to your contenders who draw posts two through seven.
 
Early/Pressers and Sustained types have fared well in 8f turf stakes. However, even the closers have to be able to make their moves early. At the second call (six furlongs) 91% were within three lengths of the lead.
 
Sprint: In the 68 stakes at 6f, closers fared much better than expected. Although early speed still wins the majority of the races, Sustained types (S) won their fair share of races. Only 26.5% of these stakes were taken wire-to-wire.
 
Outside posts (8 and beyond) performed under par with an impact value of 0.56.
 
Turf Marathons: Belmont is one of the few tracks where there is a plethora of 10-furlong inner turf events. Of the 278 total races, 17% were taken wire-to-wire. Early types have fared well but the preferred runstyle is a Presser (P), or midpack horse. Outside posts actually have the preferred draw. Inside posts, for whatever reason, have disappointed.
 
There have been 21 turf races at 1 1/2 miles, and 19% were won wire-to-wire. Pressers and closers still dominated, accounting for 62% of the winners, in aggregate. Outside posts have performed miserably, while 19% of the winners have broken from the rail.
 
Classic: The one post has produced 23.3% winners from the 43 races run for older horses at 1 1/4 miles since 1997. Demand a better price on an outside draw as it's difficult to win.
 
Early types have dominated at this distance. Twenty one of the 43 winners were within one length of the early lead at the first call!
