The method I always used before is like the Woody Hayes "3 yards and a cloud of dust" offense from the 1960's minus the forward pass.
I'm watching races from virtually every track -- but I'm only watching the most insanely extreme-run races. Every week, I have at least a horse or two from almost every single track in the country I am salivating over...sometimes as many as a dozen in a week from one track if I think a big track bias is in play.
You can only watch and study so many races a week ... so being able to identify which races to watch and study before you watch them is more important than anything else. Over the last month or two, I even have the ability to identify turf races to watch now. Before, I had to ignore all turf races and could never watch any of them...even though they are the best type of races for trip handicapping.

If you have time to look at the 6th at SA today I'd like to know what your opinion is on the Blue North run Dec. 30th in which four contenders return in todays 6 1/2 furlong sprint.
June Cleaver is the horse I'm most interested in. The 6-1 morning line seems a bit of an underlay to me.
