"The Maiden Play"
Many handicappers avoid betting maidens.  Betting maiden races is much more loose than betting any other class of thoroughbreds.  The free money is certainly there.  All you need to have a bigger edge to win more than your fair share.  The GSV was designed to measure Genetic Strength from 5 generations on both sides of a thoroughbreds pedigree.  Knowing which horse in a race has the most theoretical Genetic Strength will give you that edge.  Of course, the horse with the highest score will not win everytime, but if it wins more often than the public expects it to you can have a lot of fun and make money using the "The Maiden Play". 

Just as I revised my GRASP program to generate the GSV in a different way to account for whether stallion is found through a daughter or a son, I devised the GSV2 as a method to accurately gauge the strength of the strength of the male and female halves of the pedigree. The GSV2 has proven through tests to be better at arriving at a better way to gauge the Genetic Strength of Maidens. 

The huge benefit of the GSV2 is that it lets breeders, buyers and bettors get an accurate measure of 5 generations of genetic strength that cannot be found anywhere else. 
If a reader of the Daily Racing Form is knowledgeable, he/she might accurately gauge the pedigree strength of 2 of the sires [sire and broodmare sire] measured by the GSV2, which includes 31 sires.  Even a catalog page only shows the buyer 7 sires, some of which might not even be known to the buyer. 
 
"The Maiden Play" Is Simple to Use!
1.  Bet only maiden races, although the GSV2 might work just as well in other race classes.  In a recent study of 500 maiden races: there with 5098 starters [average race size, 10+], all maiden levels [cheapies to MSW], 60 races could not be used because the highest GSV2 horse did not meet the betting conditions.  The highest GSV2 horse won 91 of 440 races [20.7%] for a profit of $196.70/$2 unit.
2.  In races with 7 or more separate betting interests, bet the horse to win that has the highest GSV2 score of 69.00 or higher.  If no horse has a GSV2 score that high, there is no play in the race.
3.  In races with 6 or less separate betting interest, bet the horse to win that has the highest GSV2 score of 74.00 or higher.  If no horse has a GSV2 score that high, then bet the horse that has the highest GSVM score if its odds are at least 4/1.   If its odds are lower, then there is no play for the race.  In small fields, quite often the horse with the highest GSV2 score will win at good odds.

Helpful Hints at Betting Maiden Races
Rule #1.
Decide how much cash you are going to bring to the track or withdraw from the ATM machine at the start of the day and do not go back for more if the GSV2 is having a bad day.  Don't play catch up.  That's not smart.  If the GSV2 gets off to a ripping good start and then it is smart to play on their money, not yours. 

Rule #2
I am fearless in my betting as often the GSV2 succeeds in a day because it brings home a winner that pays huge at the wickets as the horse is ignored by other handicappers. 

Rule #3
I bet each race the same each day.  I bet the highest GSV2 horse to ALL in the exacta.  Whatever the cost of that bet, I place an equal amount to win on the horse with the highest GSV2 score.  For example, if the race has 11 horses in it, the exacta would cost $10/ $1 unit and, therefore, I would bet $10 to win.  If I get well ahead, I often put the highest GSV2 horse in the 2nd spot on exactas to horses that have a good chance to win in my opinion.
