Handicapping Maiden Races at Saratoga w/ Maggie Wolfendale

Handicapping Maiden Races at Saratoga w/ Maggie Wolfendale
Make sure to play on NYRA Bets at racing.nyrabet...
NYRA Bets handicapper Matthew DeSantis is joined by NYRA's Maggie Wolfendale to discuss her strategies when it comes to handicapping two-year-old maiden races at Saratoga. These races often feature future Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown prospects.
Just last year we saw Preakness winner, Seize the Grey, and Belmont Stakes winner, Dornoch, face each other in a maiden race at Saratoga.
Maggie and Matthew discuss the different elements of handicapping that go into picking winners in two-year-old races from pedigree to workouts to how they look in the paddock and more.

What is your favorite angle when handicapping two-year-old races? Pedigree? Workouts? Trainer success? Let us know in the comments. Also, apologies for Matthew's audio and video not being synced up. He was clearly just having a tough time keeping up with Maggie.

Maggie’s the best

[@evannierenberg1007]

Perfect guest as you say to discuss young horses given her experience and expert eye. Agreed value her opinion greatly. All of the above meaning pedigree, workouts and trainer intent all have a place.

[@NYRABets]

We love Maggie and she's got a great eye for talent on the track.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. NYRA finally does something right. Matthew DeSantis is a breath of fresh air. Now increase the budget and present this show which was great with something approaching its value technically. His questions for Maggie were excellent, and DeSantis is entertaining to boot. Try not to fuck this up NYRA.

Maggie is great. I kind of cap these babies looking at angles kid of in this order pedigree, workouts, trainer success, if they have a race or 2, how did they break, and jockey

[@omegatheoriginal]

In these types of races, I seem to lean towards the inside posts.

My uncle a great handicapper of 60 yrs had a saying you handicap horses run,if your betting more than 4 races, forget about it

[@robertprestonsr2453]

From my own personal handicapping bias, I just NEVER bet on a maiden race.... (too much risk and guesswork)

[@NickBriglia]

Maiden races might be the best races to bet. Classes levels are clear and eliminations can be very easy. Avoiding races with lots of firsters is understandable but most maiden races are very playable.

[@robertprestonsr2453]

@@maidenfocus I kinda lied to you... I once owned and trained a home bred filly... Raced her twice to get her used to racing... Let her loose the third time... paid 52 to win.. 28 to place and 14 to show...

[@boristheamerican2938]

For 2 yo maidens you have to look for one that shows some promise in their last race, thats a big sign that thei are putting it together.

[@johnaristotle3736]

My system? Lady Luck I enjoy her company

[@braxton548]

Back up with video examples

New drinking game……..Take a shot every time Maggie says, “dappled out from head to toe” on the race day broadcasts. 😵‍💫
