How'd you do this year? What did you learn?
With the year almost over, you did you do at the ponies? What did you learn this year and how are you going to be a better handicapper next year?
I had a pretty humdrum year up firmly in the red until 6 weeks ago. I had 3 weekends where I just killed. I just could see clearly what was going to happen as I capped. I'll end up close to even which is quite an accomplishment. I need to wait for that vision of really seeing and feeling the race. That, and focus on pick 3 & 4. For me, the 50 cent pick 3 and 4's are where I need to focus. You??

I won what I would consider a lot all thanks to basically two bets while not doing particularly great the rest of the time. I learned that I need to do a better job weathering the storm between big hits if I'm only going to play big prices/sequences where I only use bombs.

Leave horses with "Dude" in their names off my exotics at my own peril. Boo.

Had an up and down year. Got crushed on Derby Day all tracks especially Belmont and Churchill. Overall Belmont beat me up. Had a good Saratoga meet and did well at Evangeline as usual. Had a nice Breeders Cup weekend especially Saturday. Favorite bets were the big payouts on the D'Oro horses.

In one word frustrating. Structuring bets was my problem. Heck I even got disqualified from 3rd in a World Series qualifier for not playing enough money. lol
 Oh and I learned from a wise pinhook that a trip over the track is a huge plus when cappin churchill.

I learned it rains every year at the Kentucky Derby which is good only in the sense that some girls will invariably mud wrestle if you buy them enough drinks.

playing was extremely limited for most of the year...derby, preakness, breeders and a handful of other days mixed in...
every day was a loser except for bc day...cashed 4k on the classic...so im up for the year... if i had any discipline i would only play the magna 5, pick 6 carryovers (100k+), the derby, the preakness belomont and bc day...playing on those days i think you can profit...the rest of the year is hopeless for me
