Equibase App Adds Summary Performance Data Ahead Of Breeders’ Cup

Equibase Company has added summary performance data for every horse entered to race within its popular Equibase app, it was announced Monday by Equibase Company President and Chief Operating Officer Jason Wilson. The Equibase app was relaunched in August with a contemporary look and the new Smart Pick™ betting tool, among several other enhancements.

When viewing entries within the app, users can click beneath each horse's basic entry information for the expanded view, which includes the horse's past three races with links to the chart and a video replay. Each summary line includes the date, race, race type, finish position, and Equibase Speed Figure earned.

Other data elements such as earnings per start and top Equibase Speed Figure, which were added to entries as an enhancement in the initial launch of the app, are now viewable as part of the expanded summary performance information.

Smart Pick creates a suggested ticket based on a set of user preferences such as risk tolerance and wager amount while placing extra emphasis on aspects such as trainer, jockey, or horse pedigree.

“We developed Smart Pick ideally as a tool for new fans being introduced to the sport who might not have the time or experience to analyze pages of past performances,” Wilson said. “Now with the addition of summary performance information, we are providing the next logical step in teaching those fans how to use more in-depth handicapping information – all within a free app.”

The Equibase app can be downloaded free at itunes.com and play.google.com.

A premium version of the app that does not have in-app advertising and provides a free daily past performance and selection for a selected race is also available.

Equibase Company is a partnership between subsidiaries of The Jockey Club and the Thoroughbred Racing Associations of North America and serves as the Thoroughbred industry's official database. Through its website and mobile applications, Equibase offers a comprehensive array of free statistical information as well as premium handicapping products and reports in support of the North American Thoroughbred racing industry.

Princess Secret Out Of Juvenile Fillies After Failing Out-Of-Competition Drug Test

Princess Secret, a 2-year-old filly owned and trained by Daniel Pita, will not be permitted to enter the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies after an Oct. 26 blood test administered by the Breeders' Cup Out-of-Competition Program revealed the presence of Stanozolol, an anabolic steroid that is specifically prohibited by Breeders' Cup under its condition of entry.

Confirmation analysis was done following the positive screening result.

Any horse testing positive for anabolic steroids or other ARCI prohibited substances in a Breeders' Cup out-of-competition test sample during the six months prior to the Breeders' Cup World Championships is ineligible to participate in the Championships.

All out-of-competition samples are sent to the Kenneth L. Maddy Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of California-Davis for testing. The lab is certified by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) and the executive council of the IFHA has also specifically endorsed the testing protocols of the Breeders' Cup.

“Breeders' Cup out-of-competition testing is done to the highest world standards and is vital to ensuring the integrity of the World Championships. All horses pre-entered for the Breeders' Cup are subject to our stringent medication and testing protocols and must meet these requirements in order to compete,” said Breeders' Cup President & CEO Drew Fleming. “Breeders' Cup will continue its work to ensure the safety and the integrity of our sport, including our strong support of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act and other progressive reforms for Thoroughbred racing in the U.S. through our involvement in the Thoroughbred Safety Coalition.”

Almond Eye First Japanese Horse To Capture Eight Grade 1 Titles

Overwhelming favorite Almond Eye showcased another compelling performance and claimed a back-to-back Tenno Sho (Autumn) title on Sunday, the first since Symboli Kris S in 2002 and 2003. While she is now the sixth horse to mark seven JRA-G1 wins, the 5-year-old Lord Kanaloa mare has gone down in history to become the first JRA horse ever to capture eight G1 titles over turf including the 2019 Dubai Turf.

This is the sixth triumph by a filly/mare this year in G1 races opened to both male and female runners, renewing the record of five set in 2008. Following the Victoria Mile victory with Almond Eye, trainer Sakae Kunieda now boasts a total of 18 JRA-G1 wins while jockey Christophe Lemaire has now 32 JRA-G1 wins in his pocket, his latest registered last month in the Sprinters Stakes with Gran Alegria. This is Christophe's third consecutive Tenno Sho (Autumn) victory following the 2018 version with Rey de Oro and 2019 with Almond Eye, and fifth consecutive Tenno Sho victory, a new JRA record, which includes the 2019 and 2020 Spring version with Fierement.

Almond Eye was placed in handy position, in fourth to fifth, after breaking from stall nine while Danon Premium led the field two to three lengths in front of Daiwa Cagney and Kiseki in that order. Chasing the three into the stretch, the star of the show had no trouble finding her stride, steadily accelerating to inherit the lead from Danon Premium just after the furlong pole and pulled away while holding off the strong enclosure of Fierement for a half-length victory.

“Today, the mare was relaxed before the start and we were able to break well. She showed a great turn of foot in the straight but ran out of steam a bit climbing the hill. The others were gaining on us but she didn't give up. I have to admit, to win the eighth G1 title was a big pressure, but she didn't let us down—her performance was awesome. Her future lay in the hands of the owner and trainer but I would very much like to ride her again,” commented a slightly teary Christophe Lemaire after the race.

Fifth pick Fierement traveled in around 10th behind Chrono Genesis and switched to the outside after struggling to find a clear path at the top of the stretch. Accelerating impressively with the fastest last-three-furlong speed and although unable to tag the winner, this year's victor of the spring version dug in well to cross the wire a neck in front of Chrono Genesis for second.

Second favorite Chrono Genesis sat in front of Fierement in the early stages, circled wide for the stretch run and with the second-fastest late drive, swooped pass the pacesetter less than 100 meters out but was caught by the runner-up at the wire.
