Keeneland 2010 Spring Meet in HD

The Spring racing season at Keeneland is set to open Friday, April 2nd and run through April 23rd.   

• Polycapping Database-The PolyCapping database contains 35 columns of information about winning horses at Keeneland (going back to Oct. 2006, when Polytrack was installed). The data includes winning horse, surface, race type, maintenance info, Sire, half-mile time, final time, winning trainer, jockey and more. The database is sortable and downloadable, giving fans the opportunity to analyze trends. It is updated each night by 7 p.m.
• Track Trends and Analysis-Written by nationally recognized handicapper Jeremy Plonk, this information includes traditional picks and analysis, but emphasizes analyzing how the track itself is playing on a day-by-day basis.

• Trakus-Keeneland is one of the few tracks in the country to offer Trakus technology to its customers. The Trakus technology is a wonderful resource for handicappers, as its T-Charts give detailed information about the distance each horse travels in a race, its peak speed, its final time and more.

• Keeneland Wagering Trends email with handicapper Jeremy Plonk, Keeneland will update its brief (approximately five pages) PDF document aimed at educating fans about wagering on Polytrack.

• Expert Picks-Three expert handicappers-longtime track oddsmaker Mike Battaglia, along with former DRF handicappers Bill Howard and Kim Nelson, provide selections for each race day.

• Winner's Book-This is a PDF document that is updated each race day to reflect at-a-glance chart information on each winner.

• Real-Time Paddock Reports-Lexington-based handicapper Joe Riddell offers real-time Paddock Reports via Twitter. This service is very useful to handicappers who want up-to-the minute Paddock analysis of the horses in each race.

• Handicappers Consensus-Keeneland offers an at-a-glance consensus of selections from six different handicappers or entities, including Mike Battaglia, the DRF and more.

• Clocker's Comments-Keeneland's official clocker give his analysis of key works each morning leading up to and during the meets. To make those Comments even more useful, we query the comments against the day's entries and create a Clocker's In-Today Report.

• Daily Handicapping Email-Throughout the meet, we compile highlights of the next day's handicapping analysis into a single email and send it to a select group of our players. Each email, when sent via our email blast system, has a unique web url. We could create a specific web page within the Keeneland site and update it each night with the next day's weblink. Each ADW could post the static URL and their customers could access the updated information each day without any additional work for your webmasters.

• Social Media-Keeneland has an active social media outreach that includes Facebook and Twitter (@keenelandracing). Both accounts are great ways to get the latest information about Keeneland racing, including scratches, changes, etc.

We scratch off the program so our changes usually are posted for the day by 11 a.m. This page also includes current weather conditions as well as information about track maintenance that could be useful to a handicapper-i.e. the Gallop Master was used; the main track was watered, etc.
