    Race 2- Scuttlebuz finds himself in a heat where I project 4 other rivals can run just as quickly. He's also attempting the next rung on the class ladder. Tough to take at the price.
    Race 6- If ML fav King James is bet, he won't find his way to any of my tickets. I project at least 4 others to run just as fast. He will also have to overcome a wide trip through the turn.
    Race 8- 9/5 Tamahere may be compromised early breaking from the outside post on the bend. Several in here figure to post figs that match or exceed her projections. She can win but I feel she will be badly overbet

    KEE Early PK4-- Tossing out the R3 ML favorite #2 Quick Return. NY bred moves to open company. Won state-bred allowance last race at BEL. Why the move to KEE, and possibly lose a check earner for $30K? Doesn't make sense. R2 #9 Omaha Red (8-1) looks well placed here. Well bet in his first start. Both the 1st and 2nd place finishers won their next starts, and adds blinkers today. The ML favorite #6 Top Gun Girl will be very tough here, Filly vs colts, but couldn't toss even though I like others including the #9 to upset.
    R2-- #6/9/10/11/12 -- R3-- #5/6 -- R4-- #2/3/6 -- R5-- #1/5/7/10.

    BEL Early PK4-- Tossing out the R2 ML favorites #1/1A Scuttlebuzz and Bourbon Mission. The #1 looks like the stronger part of the entry. State-bred moving to open company allowance. Won last, but will be tough to repeat against these. R5 #9 Miracle Nicky (12-1) disappointed last out at SAR (poor start). Nice breeding. Irad stays on board. Good workout pattern since last start with a couple of bullets. All good signs-- upset.
    R2-- #2/4/5/7 -- R3-- #1/5/8 -- R4-- #3/5/8/10 -- R5-- #3/4/9/12.

    Here are the ML favs I will leave off my tickets at Belmont on 10-24
    Race 5- Advise and Consent- will be overbet in Chad Brown barn. He's a contender but not at the price.
    Race 6- Digital Software- despite not being the ML favorite he will be vastly overbet. Even money or less in last 4 starts.

    After scratches I'm adding a beatable ML fav on 10-24
    Race 1- Ballot Initiative- expect a very low price, less than even money. 3 others match up well on figures.

    Follow-up from 23OCT2021. KEE Early PK4-- Tossing out the R3 ML favorite #2 Quick Return. BEL Early PK4-- Tossing out the R2 ML favorites #1/1A Scuttlebuzz and Bourbon Mission. Tossed the right ML favorites, but awful handicapping in the other legs. Noticed that Tony also tossed the BEL R2 #1 Scuttlebuzz. Seems a good sign when another handicapper agrees. Going to look a little more at this vulnerable ML favorite angle. Just need to do a much better job in the other legs.

    @Jim Pommier,@Ken Fee,@Tony Kofalt

    Do you guys have a summary of how your Vulnerable Favorites are doing in terms of $net and hit rate?

    No. Just starting to look at this. I'm a part-time handicapper. Busy the next 10 days. My next handicapping day(s) is probably going to be Breeders' Cup Friday/Saturday. Maybe squeeze in a day between now and then.

    A word of warning.
    I would not expect the big race days to support the same models as the rest of the year. Those days are atypical of normal racing at every track.

    Wow Ken, that's an amazing number of tracks to maintain. Thanks so much for your research!!! Has me thinking

    I'm embarrassed to say that I have never tracked vulnerable favs like that. The results this weekend seem typical but I do not have history to compare them to. I will begin to post these vulnerable favs and track them.

    I have attached a spreadsheet listing the vulnerable favs. Please let me know if any additional information should be tracked with each horse. All horses were M/L favs except Digital Software who I felt would go off the fav.

    Thanks.
    I looked at it. 22% wins and $1.56 $net.
    A far cry from the typical $1,78 or so that is normal for horses like this.
