As I work to perfect my handicapping skills, I have always thought that I was missing something by not watching the post parade. I have trouble knowing which horses "look ready" and which do not. Shiny coat. Ears pricked. Heck, I don't know.
Then on Saturday, I thought I finally spotted something. Shackleford. Looked anxious, sweating profusely. All signs of not being ready. Maybe I finally had this "visual" handicapping skill figured out. Surely, he was ready to crash.
...Guess not... I'll move forward focusing my handicapping energies somewhere else.
