Super Screener Winning Criteria - Marathon

  • Rule #5 - Record Over Distance - A top overall record is much more important than victories at the Marathon distance.
  • Rule #6 - Age Matters - Discount chances of runners that are 7-years-old or older.  US-based 3-year-olds are also vulnerable.   
  • Rule #10 - Speed Need Not Apply -  There have been only 3 runnings of this race, but only 1 speed horse has hit the superfecta.
  • For all 10 rules for this race and all Breeders' Cup races, get your copy of the 2011 Breeders' Cup Super Screener.
