handicapping 101 PART4 "WORKS"

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

many here are very good cappers.steve/andy are at the pro level.should a capper use "works" to make a determination of recent fitness? some trainers have very structured regimen when coming up to a race ..mott is a 7 days apart guy..there are however certin patterns ill look for in diffrent types of races. take a look at race 7 weds at gulf a turf event .what do you see that might be a "tell"..

knowing where the work was done and how it was done is very important,unless you put no wieght on this..

the time and place along with the notation "h" handily "g" gate "b" breezing
denotes the way it was done..now this is no exact science..at major meets the drf does a pretty good job..but at some places the trainer calls in his own works.. ..on some turf courses the "d" dogs is put in basicly running on the outside of the turf course as not to mess it up..
the number next to the work is the horses ranking from those that worked at that dist that day..also abit telling..

in gs there are a bunch of diffrent training centers and farms and courses..
so its tough..calder the course itself/gulf stream on course/ payson park is deep /palm meadows/palmbeach downs..

finding what "works" for you is a good part of the puzzle..


some trainers use exercise riders that can go 160lbs. and unless your at the track you wont know..
