Mazur Saratoga products

I'm thinking about purchasing a few of Jim Mazur's products for the Saratoga meet and was wondering if anyone has used them and, if so, would recommend them . . .

What does each book (regular Saratoga Handicapper, Trainer Detail, and Trainer Stats) include and can I get by with just buying one or two or should I get all three?

Thanks for any insight. . .

Jim Mazur is actually a friend of mine. He and I handicapped last year's BC together at Keeneland. Good guy even though he's a Duke grad! Go Tar Heels!!

I've used his products for several years with success. I prefer the "handicapper" and trainer stats, as well as the "blue chip plays."
The statistics are invaluable to an angle player like me. Jim's information comes from a huge data base and is an excellent way to find value and eliminate pretenders.

I bought the Churchill spring meet handicapper and trainer detail. This Spring meet didn't go along with past meets thanks in big part to a much bigger presense from S. Assmussen. It does open your eyes to certain trainer angles.
However, next year when I buy my yerly P.P.'s from DRF I am going with Formulator.

Whether you agree with historical trends in these events, these guys do their homework.

The "Saratoga Handicapper" grew out of a columnist's daily record keeping of the Saratoga meet. I'm not sure if it is Nick Kling, but it is from someone in that area.

Having the general book and the trainer stats should do. If you like those products, then consider the "Daily Sheets" to see how they apply the general principals.

Now, there's a guy who knows his stuff. A very good friend and one who has learned a lot in less than 20 years following the ponies.
