Fav Handicapping Angles
 

lets hear some, 1 of mine(1 of many) is a horse who ran in the slop in their career debut and showed absolutely nothing and is catching a fast track second time out

Lightly raced 5 yo mares coming off a layoff in winter/spring.

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.

2 sprints/route

New York Breds running in Open MSW at other tracks, then shipping
to New York tracks to run against restricted NY Breds MSW.

I like to play horses whose legs I've felt.

4 wide - weakened

LOL cajun! i actually do get to feel the legs of some i bet:)

my Favorite is
Get a bunch of people to throw $$$$'s in and purchase a 3year old filly @ auction, have the trainer take her to New Orleans , work out, get some sun, then ship to Kentucky and enter @ a kee. turf race.
Any one else use this angle ? :D

Good turf breeding coming off the main to turf for first time, especially with a good turf trainer

Msw to Mcl

Definitely need to pick your spots. Nothing I like better than taking down a short priced fav in Mcl...

Also, horses who go from Mike Smith to anyone else...

I have none of these. Every race and horse is different. No hard and set rules for me at all.

Sneakly watch the unoffcial trials for a first starter that u know the owners are punters that wins by 5 lengths & then goes to a race meet outside of town with no form & no history & punt heavily on it They do the hard work & i pick up the cash ;-),Pays to keep your cards close to your chest when you do this one;)

Punters ????? Is that a Australian Rules Football Reference ???:D :D :p

Excellent Randall. BBB

our word for Handicapping, A handicapper in Australia is the person who sets the weights for the horses,Imagine my supprise when i found this site & thought all these people were employed by american racing to put the weights on horses:D

Well I read and study the DRF with a ice cold ""FOSTERS""..[ yes a oil can ].. so would that make me a Australian Handicapper ?

Hell yes, Tho a Ice Cold Carlton Coldie is my fav drink when havin a punt at the local pub/tab while wearin my Thongs;)

Oh dear God...not again....:eek:

Ballarat, Bendigo, Cranbourne are very close to metro races & the big trainers use these tracks as warm ups for their metro Youngsters

If you have two uncoupled horses by the same trainer, one of them is ready to win or at least run its A game. This is especialy true for small to medium barns.

Love this even more when already run on dirt with an even running line.

A decent race at 1 mile (one turn) after contending throughout and now cutting back to 6 1/2 or 7 furlongs.

1'st time starter in MCL with halfway decent pedigree and above avg. debut trainer in a field of proven losers. Hopefully droppers take the money.
Horse with good dirt figures in an "off the turf" that wasn't MTO, especially if it would have been turf debut. If the distance changes, better yet!
New gelding that is only listed in scratches and changes, not the form. They usually hit the board.
Route to 7f.
