1st printing:

Have you ever noticed that some

people, who come to the racetrack only
on their birthdays or their lucky days,
do as well or better than the profess
ionals, who come each day? Why is this
true? Do they have a secret?
Why do certain horses win the same
key race year after year, especially at
the smaller tracks? Do horses win on
their birthdays? Do horses have "off
days," when we should not bet them?
Can we predict these off day perform
ances?
These and other questions form
the basis for this book on astro handi

To better understand this book,

you should acquaint yourself with the
following basic astrological principles:
The year is divided into twelve

signs or astro months. These are

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo,

Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius,

Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

The month of Aries begins at the

spring equinox, first day of spring.
This is usually on March 20, but it can
be March 21. You would have to check
an Ephemeris to be exact, as it varies
-1

slightly from year to year. The month

of Taurus begins on April 19 or 20. In
this manner, each astrological month
roughly compares with the traditional
calendar month, Aries is April, Taurus
is May, Gemini ~s June, etc., but the'
astrological month begins approximately
ten days before the traditional calen
dar month, and that is the major stumb
ling block for those who do not know
astrology.
The basis of the calendar is that
the earth revolves around the sun in a
circle, which is divided into 360 0 and
into twelve parts or astrological
months. Because of the way that trad
itional astrology developed, prior to
the science of astronomy, astrologers
name the months after the sign occupied
by the sun if viewed from the earth,
rather than naming the months after the
sign occupied by the earth as it trav
els around the sun.
If we were to rename the months,
based upon earth's location if viewed
from the sun (heliocentric astrology),
there would be a lot of confusion for
centuries as we would then say that the
earth is in Libra (not Aries) in April.
So, I favor keeping the names as they
are and explaining what is really happen
ing scientifically. The earth revolves
around the sun and the sun is in Aries
in April.
-2

The moon revolves around the earth

and its path can also be divided into
twelve parts, the same twelve signs. So,
the moon goes from Aries to Taurus to
Gemini, etc., and when it reaches Pisces,
the next sign will be Aries.
The moon spends roughly two and
one-half days in each sign, which means
that the moon either spends two nights
and three days (Monday, Monday night,
Tuesday, Tuesday night, Wednesday) or
three nights and two days (Sunday night,
Monday, Monday night, Tuesday, Tuesday
night) in each sign. The moon takes
27.32 days to make one complete revol
ution around the earth. For practical
For practical purposes, this means
that if you go to the racetrack on a
particular Saturday and win, you could
or might win again if you returned on a
Saturday four weeks later. Conversely,
if you win on Saturday and try to repeat
your win seven days later, you will prob
ably lose. This is because the moon is
in the same sign four weeks apart, but
it is in a different sign one week apart.
I am going to omit any discussion
of the planets and the other details of
astrology, and we will be concentrating
on the moon, the astro month (based upon
the sun-earth axis or relationship), and
the relationship or angle between the
moon and the sun.
Consider the New Moon, when the
three bodies (sun, moon, earth) are in
-3

WINNING METHODS
a straight line and in that order, sun
moon-earth. The sun is lighting up the
part of the moon that we do not see, so
the moon is invisible to us on earth.
In contrast, at the Full Moon, the order
is sun-earth-mooh, and except during
eclipses, the earth is not large enough
to hide the fully lighted moon.

New Moons are approximately 29-30

days apart, and likewise, Full Moons are
29-30 days apart. This is a different
cycle from the moon-in-the-sign cycle,
which is 27-28 days.
The reason that these cycles are
not the same length has to be explained:
Suppose, we start with the New Moon in
Pisces. Twenty-eight days later, the
moon will again be in Pisces, but the
sun will now be in the next sign Aries.
We are at the position of new moon minus
one (NM-1), which is my symbol for one
sign before the new moon, not one day
before. In order to reach the next
new moon in Aries, we have to allow
thirty days.
-4

Now, what does all this have to do

with horses?
If a horse has a preference for a
particular moon sign, then a pattern
should appear, where that horse tends to
win every twenty-eight days or four weeks
apart. La Shard was a perfect example.
He won an allowance race at Great Falls,
Montana on July 14, 1991 on the moon in
Virgo. On August 11, 1991, twenty-eight
days later, he carne in second by a nose
in an allowance race at Metrapark, Mon
tana. On September 8, 1991, which was
fifty-six days (eight weeks) from the
date of the first race and twenty-eight
days from the second race date, he won
an allowance race at Metrapark, on the
moon in Virgo. On October 5, 1991,
eighty-three days from the first date,
fifty-five days from the second date, and
twenty-seven days from the third date,
La Shard won a handicap race at Playfair,
Washington, again on the moon in Virgo.
Thus, La Shard performed four times in a
row on the moon in Virgo, each time dis
tance between performances being four
weeks apart.
Of course, La Shard was a very sharp
horse in 1991 at age five, and he also
won on September 15, 1991, which was not
on the moon in Virgo. So, one could
argue that La Shard simply won every race
in 1991 regardless of when it was sched
uled. I do not subscribe to that view,
since La Shard was defeated by both Gotto
Go Charlie and Santim on August 2, 1991.
(Santim was the horse that La Shard al
most beat on August II.)
-5

We cannot do an experiment to find

out, but I believe that had the races
been scheduled differently, La Shard
would have won fewer races. He "lucked
out," because the races happened to be
scheduled on his favorite moon sign Virg~
La Shard was a son of North Jet and
I am currently doing research to follow
the sons of North Jet.
The main problem with this technique
is that we do not learn the moon prefer
ence of the horse until it has produced a
race record and is ready to retire. Also
most horses do not have such clean moon
preferences as La Shard. Incidentally,
horses whose names begin with the word
"the" do tend to win on the moon in Virgo
and "la" in French means "the." "Les,"
the plural form of "la," works also.
Another pattern that I study is the
tendency of a horse to win races on the
same date, year after year. This pattern
is stronger in the smaller tracks. There
are examples of champions winning the same
race year after year, but it is difficult
for them to do so because of the principle
that youth prevails. There is always some
up-and-coming younger horse who wins the
race.
We can, however, make use of breeding
lines to benefit from these patterns. For
example, the period July 15-17 is extremely
favorable to the Raise A Native breeding
line as shown by the following examples.
On July 17, 1963, Raise A Native set a new
track record for 5~ furlongs. On the same
date in 1994, Highland Crystal by Raise A
Man won the River Downs Budweiser Breeders
-6

Cup. On July 15, 1995, Pembroke by Gone

West, a son of Mr. Prospector out of the
same line, set a world record for 5~ fur
longs on the turf at Hollywood. On July
15-16, 1995, three Chisos horses won at
Yakima Meadows, paying $94.80, $11.20, and
$35.60. Chisos is a son of Alydar, who is
a son of Raise A Native. Obviously, if
those three Chisos horses had been racing
well in the weeks prior to mid-July, they
would not have been paying such huge
amounts for a two dollar bet. So, some
thing is happening with the Raise A Native
Mr. Prospector and the Raise A Native
Alydar line in mid-July.
Saratoga is famous for many upsets.
Is this because of the track or is this
because of the specific dates that Saratoga races?
The Breeders Cup Day is always held

in the month of Scorpio. Is Danzig really

the best sire or is he the best sire in

the month of Scorpio? Would it all look

different if the best horses were judged

in the month of Leo instead of in the

months of Taurus and scorpio as they are

now?

We have discussed horses that win

races on the same day one year apart and
horses that win races on the same moon
sign twenty-eight days apart. What is the
relationship between these two phenomena?
If we divide the year, 365.25 days,
by the length of a lunar revolution, 27.32

-7

days, the result is 13 and 1/3 revolution

In other words, if we go forward one year
in time, we do not come back to the start
ing moon sign. In order to come back to
the same moon sign, we need to travel thir
teen lunar revolutions (less than a full
year) or fourteen lunar revolutions (more
than a full year). So if a horse has a
specific moon preference, it might be more
likely to win 355 days from the previous
win than 365.
A common pattern is for the horse to
win its "Never won three" one year from
the maiden win. However, this is not nec
essarily a good bet. We do not know until
after the race is over if this was a good
horse that won its NW3 a year after the
maiden as good horses should or if it was
a bad horse that did not. In my experience,
the shortyear is more valuable than the
conventional year, because we know from
the previous win (a short year ago) that
the horse does like a particular moon sign.
Specific examples of patterns that
relate to specific time distances as used
in astrology are shown in Figures 1 through
8 and in Figures 10 and 11.
SEXTILES AND TRINES
In astrology, the distances of two

months (sextile) and four months (trine)

are considered to be benefic, agreeable,

harmonious. In degrees of the 360 0

circle, these are 60 0 angles and 120 0

angles.

In horse racing, we can go back eight

months to the time that would be consider
ed a trine if we had gone four months for
ward.
(I label this "octatrine" to indic
ate that it was eight months ago and not
four months ago.) Similarly, I label the
period ten months ago "decasextile," mean
ing a time period that is sextile to today,
but occurred ten months ago, not two months
ago.
Horses who won 59-60 days ago should
win today because today's sun-moon angle
is the same as the angle 59-60 days ago.
The moons are sextile and the suns are
sextile. An example is the following:
Today is the New Moon in Pisces. 59-60
days ago was the New Moon in Capricorn.
118-120 days ago was the New Moon in Scorpio.
In order to understand the agreements,
it is necessary to know the elements of the
signs.

The alternating list of signs, beginning

with Aries and including all fire and air
signs, is labelled the set of A signs. The
remaining list of signs, beginning with Tau
rus and including all earth and water signs,
is labelled the ~ set of signs. Fire and
air signs differ by two signs, are sextile,
and agree. Fire signs differ from fire
signs by four signs, are harmonious and
trine.
Thus, the New Moon in Capricorn 59-60
days ago is sextile to today's situation
of the New Moon in Pisces. The New Moon in
Scorpio is trine to today's situation of
the New Moon in Pisces.

BACK TO HORSES
We would bet the horse today that
won a sextile ago on the New Moon in
Capricorn and a trine ago on the New
Moon in Scorpio. If Horse A won on the'
New Moon in Scorpio and Horse B won on
the New Moon in Capricorn, neither raced
on the other date and they never raced
against each other, we might then have
to use nonastrological criteria to
decide today's winner. We could elim
inate horses that failed on these "New
Moons in T," but we would not know what
to do with a horse that didn't happen
to be scheduled on the critical dates.

on a case of intermediate complexity.

Using the list of signs with the ele
ments, practice some combinations like
the following example. The moon in
Gemini in the month of Aries is the
New Moon in Aries + two moon signs. It
is trine to the moon in Libra in the
month of Leo. The moon in Libra in the
month of Leo is the New Moon in Leo +
two moon signs. Do not proceed until
you have mastered this and similar
combinations. Try some combinations
on your own.
Now let us consider a more compli
cated example of the case of Sea Hero
that won the Kentucky Derby on May 1,
1993 on the astrological aspect, Moon
in Virgo trine the Sun in Taurus (Full
Moon Scorpio/Taurus minus two signs).
We go back approximately eight months to
the angle octatrine, when the Moon was in
Capricorn trine the Sun in Virgo (Full
Moon Pisces/Virgo minus two signs). Notice
the trine relationships of all the entities
involved and the angle is preserved. on both
dates the moon was in the position FM-2.
Sea Hero won the maiden on moon in earth
trine sun in earth on the FM-2 position,
and he won the Kentucky Derby on moon in
earth trine the sun in earth on the FM-2
position.
Figure 11 gives a second example of
the angle octatrine. Figure 12 lists the
time distances for the sextiles and trines.

Before we consider Sea Hero, which

may be a little complicated for those who
do not know astrology, let us practice

Karandy won the maiden May 27, 1993. She won the third race of her career

her up for the completed anniversary. She won May 25, 1994 at 5.1:1,

Dag's Knight won the maiden August 12, 1994 on the Scorpio/Leo First Quarter
Moon. He won the third race of his career on August 4, 1995 on the exact same
aspect, scorpio/Leo First Quarter Moon 357 days later. This is a very common
pattern. Notice that in this case the shortyear from the maiden pattern was
more powerful than first and second time lasix, but that is not always so.
Notice also that Dag's Knight is 3 for 3 in the month of Leo.

Figure 3, Kyle's Ace, Example of a Bracket

A bracket is two wins in a row approximately a year ago with today's data
between the two dates. Kyle's Ace won July 30 and August 12, 1994. Today' s
date is August 5, 1995. Although Kyle's Ace won the NW2 (Non-winners of
two) and the NW3 (Non-winners of three) at the inferior track, today's race
at Yakima Meadows is for non-winners at the stand, so today's race repres
ents a very low class race. Those people who make use of the false theory
of a "Horse for a course" will avoid Kyle's Ace, because he won those races
at Playfair and this is Yakima, but I prefer the concept of a horse for a
time. In my view, Kyle's Ace likes all the days between July 30 and August 12.
His win on August 5 at 4.4: 1 proved that he likes this time period.

Figure 4, Santa Fe Slewpy

Example of 13 lunar revolutions,
not a shortyear
Santa Fe Slewpy won the race first time at
Yakima Meadows, off the layoff, on July 17,'
1995. He won his maiden at Del Mar on July 27,
1994, 355 days ago (355 divided by 27.5 = 13
LRs). Or, this is 365 days less 10. Now,
because the first win was in the month of Leo .
and the second win was in the month of Cancer,
this is not a shortyear, where the sun is in

the same sign at both dates by definition.

')

Both of Santa Fe Slewpy's wins were on the

moon in Aries. I would continue to bet him
on the moon in Aries, especially in the sum
mer months, but he could also win at other
times. Note that Santa Fe Slewpy did not
possess the Best Beyer figure at the dis
tance, but he did possess the best Beyer
figure at the distance on cycle. This means
that Santa Fe Slewpy possessed the highest
Beyer figure of all horses in the race for
all dates when the moon was in Aries.

sextile 2 R, where 2 R is shorthand for 2 lunar revolutions. Each horse

won his race on February 26, 1995, but Occasionally Lucky won the higher
class race or Occasionally Lucky won his race with a higher Beyer figure
B81 compared to B70 for Mr. Investigator. This example may not be the
best example because Occasionally Lucky is clearly the superior horse
based on Beyer figures alone, without considering cycles.

Three Sees in the Wind

This is an example of the longyear return 14 lunar revolutions or 382 days.
,In different years, the horse won the first two races of its career on the

exact same astrological aspect, the moon in Gemini trine the sun in Aquarius.

Notice, Pat Day, the Libra jockey, was on the horse on roth occasions. The

moon in Gemini trine the sun in Aquarius favors the Libra j~key. In 1986,

Pat Day won six races on this aspect on February 17, 1986.

To find the longyear from today going back more than a year, subtract

17,18,19, or 20 days.

Falcon Bid
This is an example of the gestation time distance 9 m:::mths. May 4
plus 9 months = 4th day of month 5 + 9 months = 4th day of month
14 - 12 = 4th day of February. Usually the moon is in the same sign
at both ends of the gestation, but in this case, the moon was in
Pisces on May 4, 1994 and it was in the adjacent moon sign Aries on
February 4, 1995. The most famous example of the gestation hit was
Rockamundo that won the Arkansas Derby nine months after the maiden
win, winning the Arkansas Derby at huge odds.

Rockamundo was igtlored by the bettors because of so-so Beyer figures

in his recent races, While his competitors were hitting Beyer 90's.
Even I, the astrologer, ignored Rockamundo for that reason. Also, the
moon on July 16, 1992 was not in the same sign on April 17, 1993.
After Rockarnundo, I modified my definition of the gestation, so that
in addition to betting the horse on the same moon sign, I, also, now
bet the horse on 9 months +/-1 day regardless of where the moon falls.

Note on Gestation
AIthough nine months is not the gestation period of a horse, the
nine month time distance occurs in the win pattern of a horse. Why
thi/i is so, we do not know, but we think it is because the moon is
in the same sign on the two dates and that the horse does have a
moon preference.

Shortyear = year minus 8,9,10 or 11 days

Longyear = year plus 17,18,19 or 20 days

The lunar revolution is also called the sidereal month 27.32 days (Refer Jeff Mayo,
The Astrologer's Astronomical Handbook, L.N. Fowler and Company, Great Britain,
Third Edition 1976). For practical purposes, 27~ days works just fine.
* This refers to the human gestation period.

Sea Hero won the Kentucky Derby on May 1, 1993, 236 days after winnilly t.he maiden
September -,., 1992 at BelIOOnt. (Pardon the green color highlightirlqJ WIt i<..:h copied
to cover the date.) On September 7, 1992 the moon was in Capricorn tri.ne the sun
in Virgo, FM-2 position. At the Kentucky Derby, the moon was in Virgo trine the
sun in Taurus, same posi tion FM-2.
The angle octatrine is 8 and 2/3rds lunar revolutions. It is not an integral num
ber of lunar revolutions. Note that 233 is a Fibonacci number.

Peaks and Valleys won The Derby Trial on April 29, 1995, 236 days
after winning a key race at age two. Note the similarity to Sea Hero's
pattern. Sea Hero went from September 7 to April 31. Peaks and Valleys
went from September 5 to April 29.

Extreme Edge is an extremely talented and fast

Taj Alriyadh gelding. However, he is also extrem
ely inconsistent. On July 20, 1994, he bled under
lasix and failed to finish. On September 14, 1994,
he did this again. On July 10, 1995, he turned in
a miserable performance on the shortyear from
July 20, 1994. On September 6, 1995, he did like
wise on the shortyear from September 14, 1994,
In astrological terms, Extreme Edge cannot ha:qdle
the moon in the signs Sagittarius, Capricorn,
Aquarius when the moon is attached to the T Full
Moon, i.e. FM in months of Cancer and Virgo,
precisely where the entire line by Sir Ivor
excels, He has won on the FM Aquarius/Leo and
prefers the A months, with a few exceptions.
Remember that good horses have more exceptions
to astrological pattern than mediocre horses
because of "upside surprises" against soft
fields, while very poor horses also have excep
tions to pattern because of corruption in those
races and lameness, which does not relate to
pattern, (Some lameness does relate to pattern.)

-30

If I am right about Extreme Edge, he will fail

June 28 through July 3, 1996 and again
August 24-29, 1996. He is a reliable bet in the
months Leo and Libra.
Without using an ephemeris to check the position
of the moon, it is possible to just count days
as follows: Extreme Edge was bad July 20, 1994,
July 10, 1995, and that gives July 0, 1996=
June 30 (about). He was bad September 14, 1994,
September 6, 1995, and that gives (remembering
that September 6 = August 37) August 29, 1996
(about), If we used 10 day spans from septem

ber 14, 1994, that would give August 25, 1996

(about).

CONCLUSION
Although I was not able to answer
all of the rhetcrical questions raised
at the beginning of this little book,
I believe that I have presented an in
troductory discussion of the relation
ship of astrology to horse racing and
that I have given specific examples
of time distances between a horse's
wins that relate to lunar revolutions
of the moon and to standard distances
in astrology (sextiles and trines). It
is to be hoped that this exploratory
book will lead to further and more com
plete studies in the future.
