Lockbox: Bumped at Gate Trouble Focusing Can Improve

Raced with first time blinkers for this and the filly never really looked comfortable until the final furlong when she got up late for 3rd. She was bumped out of the gate and the entire field lined up for the lead a few strides out of the gate. This gal was then wrestled back to the back of the pack and seemed to lose focus. She seemed to be looking around in early stretch so maybe the blinkers come back off or maybe she can improve now that she has raced with them on.

Generally horses that are on the Horses To Watch list ran into unexpected trouble, bad luck, and/or didn’t run the race we believe Lockbox was cabable of.  We expected that if Lockbox gets a good trip in their next start than we should see an improvement in Lockbox performance figures.  Use the performance figures earned in Lockbox last race (listed above) and compare them to the field and pars of Lockbox next start.  If Lockbox appears to have earned higher performance figures in the last race when running into trouble  as compared to the rest of the field’s expected perfomance in the upcoming race than there is a good chance that Lockbox will dominate the race.

Helpful Tip:  So that it’s easy for you to compare a horse’s past performance, Today’s Racing Digest’s Performance Figures for upcoming races are based on how we expect the horse to perform in that race regardless of any changes in race conditions.  Learn More:
