being upfront with a freind

[ontheoutside]

so one of my 85 year old buddies over coffee today asked me a very simple question hes said how do you win at Saratoga?
I told him plat out that I depend on the show a lot now because its hard for me to read the form anymore with problems I have with eyes
I also explained to him that my bank roll is fatter then his[ not to be a snob] but just to make him understand that im not shy about pushing the all button when it comes to betting pick 4 and 5
I told him I look for ellis 2 year olds coming up and I bet them alos

but I was curious because of a simple question asked to me

how do you win at Saratoga? do you have trainer angles you look at? or maybe trainer /jock combos
do you look for drop downs?
maybe turf to dirt or vice versa
what are some of the things you fine people on here look for to win at Saratoga? thanks and good luck to everyone
