ABOUT THE STAR HORSES:
Horses assigned a STAR (*) fall into one of the following categories based on the INTERNAL and FINAL SPEED FIGURES published in Jerry J’s Performance Pages.
They have a pattern that suggests a strong chance to break out of the current form or “jump forward.”
They have a pattern that suggests extreme consistency (restricted to the top three horses).
In the case of a First Time Starter, breeding, training inclination or workout patterns that indicate the horse has a chance to run its first time out are all considered. (We do not use marginal statistical information or clocker/inside information. We try not to STAR obvious “short-priced” First Time Starters.)
Feel free to assign your own STAR to any horse that you feel is going to make a forward run according to your own handicapping ideas.
