![]() One of the greatest things I've ever done is recently changing the way my playbook works for finding an edge. The handicapping methods I use for finding an edge are the same as ever...and not all that different from a lot of other people.
The method I've now been using to find bet-backs is like the modern Oregon Ducks offense. 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. |
