A question for the handicappers

[Bobby Fischer]

I've had no experience riding apart from pony rides and trail types of things as a little kid. Never been on a race horse.

I have to call on a general sense of timing for sports or action, and a visual eye of talent. For me I could watch a cheetah and a gazelle race, or running back, or a horse, it doesn't matter.

I agree with what DrugS said about having a book on that specific horse to be able to really handicap with slight positive or negative signs. Some horses look like a million dollars, and they always do, and they aren't good racehorses. (&vice versa)

I try to be conservative with major negative signs like a seeing a stride abnormality in the replays, or looking very sickly in the post parade, I believe in passing the race if they are an important part of your play.

& I am scared of horses. I had heart surgeries, I am not trying to ride a horse or get kicked.
