MY 2024 KENTUCKY DERBY GUIDE IS NOW AVAILABLE! I believe this year’s Kentucky Derby guide is the best I’ve ever produced. In these pages, you’ll find: THE FINAL FURLONG – Discover which horses are 0-for-43 based on the final fraction of their last race since 1992 and which have produced a positive ROI. UNDERSTANDING QUIRIN SPEED POINTS – I give you the IVs and ROIs for each of the nine Quirin speed point totals. TURN-ONS AND TURNOFFS – Find out which horses return a profit and which horses practically never win America’s greatest horse race. I LIKE BIG WINS, AND I CANNOT LIE – I examine how impactful a previous "big win" is in the Kentucky Derby. HAPPY BIRTHDAY? – Does a horse's birth month matter? Find out which foaling months produce an inordinate number of Derby winners and which don’t. UNDERSTANDING SPEED FIGURE CYCLES – Discover the speed rating pattern that has produced zero Kentucky Derby winners (from 38 starters) since 1992 and the pattern that has produced a 43.5 percent ROI. KNOW YOUR S.H.I.T. – The top four Simon Historical Investment Technique selections have produced 21 of the last 31 Kentucky Derby winners. A $100 bet on each pick would have returned a profit of $16,990. AI ANALYSIS OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY – I use artificial intelligence to select the top five Kentucky Derby contenders. The results may surprise you! THE CONTENDERS: A CLOSER LOOK – A horse-by-horse look at the Kentucky Derby field. PACE PROFILE REPORT – Each Kentucky Derby Guide contains my Pace Profile Report, which includes par speed figures and my speed rations for every (potential) Derby contender.

July 27th, LONG TRACK RACE!!!! Yes, that's right, Saturday night the 27th we will be using BOTH SIDES so bring your walking shoes if you plan to crash, 😂🤣😁 This will be 7" specific so if you have a 7'incher you like to show off, this is the race for you! 🍆🌶 This is primarily a Street League points race. (The other half from the one we held during Mayhem earlier this year.) Depending on if enough people have them, we may also throw in a heat or two of the MultiGP Pro Spec 7'inchers, just know these won't be seeded into finals and won't get SL points from those heats. OR... We may run the entire SL race and then run some Pro Spec heats for fun afterward, again all depends on if we have enough folks wanting to do that, so here's your "Heads-Up". So mark your calendars, apply for your hall pass, and hope to see you there!!!!! Entry fee with be $20 and signup is here - https://lnkd.in/gf5xbxvF

Went to Formula 1 in Miami, had sky-high expectations, only to be completely let down from a service standpoint. There was a noticeable gap between what we anticipated and what we actually received. For the price we paid for our tickets, it should have been SOOOO much better. And I'm not alone in my disappointment. Check out social media, and you'll see the flames of discontent burning bright. Now contrast that to the Kentucky Derby, which I've had a chance to experience several times as well, which was also going on the same weekend. Churchhill Downs consistently knocks it out of the park, every time I've been they've gone above and beyond to exceed expectations from a service level. So, here's the million-dollar question: What are you doing in YOUR business to surpass your customers' expectations? It's not just about meeting them; it's about blowing them out of the water! Let's bridge that gap and elevate the service game in modern business. Churchill Downs Incorporated Formula 1 #ServiceGap #CustomerExperience #KentuckyDerby #formula1 #jamesdmurphy #afterburnercapital
