Point of clarification on Matt's threadstart intro before commenting...
There's a big difference between my role as a 'public handicapper' and Andy's as a professional horseplayer. Andy, like anyone playing full time, puts more work into his analysis and preparation than I can remotely approach. It ain't close. His job is being prepared to wager to earn his living. It requires full time attention. My full time is devoted to preparing the radio show, my food consultancy, the Website and the Stable. I handicap as much and as best as I can, but cannot do the work like Andy does... As to workouts.. I am most interested in patterns to indicate soundness. When did a horse return to the track after a race? 10 days? 2 weeks? A month? Were there gaps in a layoff horse's works after a break? etc.. Don't like seeing a horse miss 2-3 works somewhere after being started back towards racing... I love young horses getting works for the distance at which they are debuting... Love fast blowouts for sprinters... Love 7f works...
