Wet Trackers This Weekend

Our wet track data has found 28 selections over the next 48 hours with some monster odds amongst them.

Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are all set for 20mm+ of rain over the weekend albeit it may not arrive in time for Friday's Flemington meeting. Last year I wrote an article for Proven Thoroughbreds about the key to finding a wet track sire - here are some snippets;

"When a horse is being tested on the wet for the first time, what do I look for?

Trial form is misleading. As is trackwork. Breeding is far more reliable. And if you can find a “wettie” before the formguide does, prepare to be rewarded handsomely.

One thing I learned quickly in my search for a wet track sire, was lineage and the importance of a sireline that consistently produced wet trackers. Back in the late 90s I had a scrapbook of stallions that had won big races on wet tracks. I kept it for years and marked any sire that had a son who won a major race (on a wet track). Then I would follow that son’s progeny when they raced. In a nutshell, I looked for two generations of performance on wet tracks and backed the third generation.

Bloodlines laced with stamina are often the best to follow in wet conditions. The longer a race goes, the more a horse’s ability to handle the conditions becomes prevalent."

You can read the full article here which uses data analysis to determine what pedigrees to follow;

The article concludes with the following stallions that fit my criteria;

CAMELOT

EXTREME CHOICE

FARNAN (First crop later this year)

SEBRING SUN

UNDER THE LOUVRE

The above stallions have 29 runners across Randwick (Fri/Sat), Gosford, Eagle Farm, Flemington and Moonee Valley. Only TITAN OF CHOICE has been omitted and we couldn't add Eagle Farm R2 DILLIAN.

Here are the wet trackers in chronological order. I've used the 'shortlist' option available at punters.com.au

Good luck!
