Fav Handicapping Angles

[brianwspencer]

I like a horse who first time out, ran on well enough to pass horses late, but not enough to gain any ground on the winner.

A horse who shows the propensity to pass horses even while not contending first time out can often come back and run a good one the next time out.

It doesn't work all the time, of course -- but it's one I think about lots.
