Why This Stakes Race Was Won at the Break | Pace Points Explained at Oaklawn Park

Описание: Welcome back to Sunday Morning Coffee on Past The Wire TV with Big Race Jim, your weekly destination for elite horse racing handicapping insight.

In this episode, Jim explains the Ring the Bell Stakes from Oaklawn Park and shows exactly how Pace Points identified the winning race shape before the gates opened. This is a real-world tutorial on how early pace, trip dynamics, and positional advantage decide races — not just final-time speed figures.

Using race replays and Pace Points data side-by-side, Jim explains:

-Why Roll On Big Joe won despite modest late pace rankings

-How trip advantage and early race chaos changed the entire outcome

-Why late closers like Banishing and Tejano Twist had too much to do

-How to use Pace Points as a decision-making tool, not a picks sheet

This is the type of handicapping knowledge that separates casual bettors from long-term winners.

🔹 Pace Points is designed to be used with your PPs — DRF, Brisnet, TimeformUS — to help you visualize race shape, pace pressure, and trip advantage before you bet.
