The eyes of the horse-racing world will be on Del Mar in San Diego on Nov. 5-6 for the 2021 Breeders Cup World Championships.
The year’s two biggest days of thoroughbred racing will crown champions in 13 divisions and produce the largest wagering pools of the year. EquinEdge believes they have the perfect tool for players to handicap the championship races and make a big payday during the world’s best weekend of racing.
The newest and most advanced horse-race platform on the market today, EquinEdge is a mobile and web-based handicapping program that employs multiple data sets and unique artificial intelligence-driven algorithms to develop values that enable players to quickly analyze any U.S. horse race from competitive, genetic, and odds-value angles. These values are combined with a user-friendly interface, navigation and sorting tools, and a unique, editable, wager-generating tool to design tickets that win. The web app is accessible by smartphone, computer, iPad, and tablet.
“These are the tools that only the pros have had until now,” said Chief Operating Officer Michael Maiorana. “Use the metrics the pros use to play the biggest weekend in racing. If you don’t already have a membership, everyone is eligible for a free seven-day trial.”
The platform provides past-performance data alongside multiple patented algorithms that cut down on the time required to analyze a full field of horses. The Genetic Strength Rating (GSR) looks at the distance, surface, and resultant success of the subject horse’s last three generations and provides an index number. The Strength of Race (SOR) tells you how tough the race is today and the level of competition the horse has been competing against in his career. The EE Morning Line is an ultra-accurate estimate of each horse’s final odds at post time that, with a click of the mouse, can be compared to the track’s morning line and the live odds.
“There are a lot of different storylines for this Breeders Cup,” Maiorana said. “You have Medina Spirit coming back after the Kentucky Derby drug-test failure, Essential Quality (Belmont Stakes and Travers Stakes winner) in Classic — a $5 million race — and then there’s the ladies’ Distaff that’s $3 million. It’s the biggest weekend in racing, so you want tools that will help you dissect what’s going on.”
The ticket-generator tool takes all the available factors, combined with your base-wager amount and your total wager budget, to create horizontal (DD, Pick 3, 4, 5, 6+) or vertical tickets. Then, using your own insights from the data, you can edit that ticket and recalculate till you get the ticket you want.
EquinEdge even has metrics to help handicappers with the European and overseas horses that ship over and see how they stack up against the U.S.-based ones.
“With the level of competition during the Breeders Cup, you need a tool to separate contenders from pretenders in a timely manner,” Maiorana said. “The competition is too good to separate them on your own. The Breeders Cup is where fortunes are made for owners, trainers, and handicappers.”
If you want to play the races and don’t have time to handicap, EquinEdge selections are listed for every race for win and place, plus a longshot, using the algorithms. A straight win percentage is another metric that combines all the algorithms into a single factor for each horse. Plus, the past performances for each horse, including workouts, are available for your own analysis and comparison.
“Utilizing the patented ticket generator to handicap all the multi-leg plays will speed up your handicapping by several times,” Maiorana said. “It makes it way simpler to handicap a multi-leg ticket. You have the Distaff-Classic double, all-turf Pick 3. There are so many special wagers on these two days.”
The EquinEdge tools are a great fit for racebooks, for which books and tracks receive special incentives for utilizing EquinEdge as a benefit to the handicappers at their facility.
The tools were conceived and designed by 30-year handicapping veteran Scotty McKeever, who has a track record of hitting multiple 6- and 7-figure Pick-6 tickets, winning tournaments, and using EquinEdge for his daily handicapping. McKeever showed up at the 2021 Pegasus Tournament earlier this year and used only EquinEdge to win that event and the $125,000 winner’s share.
EquinEdge offers new members a full week of free access to the platform to learn about its data. Also, there are tutorials on how to use the data and live YouTube shows each week, as well as live shows with Scotty covering California Racing and actively discussing how the platform can help you win at the races. Players can also join their VIP Handicapping Community and talk to the players who use the product.
