I really have had very little success picking winners. The
"handicapping" generally leads right to the chalk. When I go with it, it bombs. When I go against...you can quess.
As I said I'm fairly new and know I have much to learn and have to develope my own methods. I'm fortunate in that I'm close to Monmouth so I will be attending more races this year.
I'm also fortunate to have discovered DerbyTrail....the people here are genuinely helpful and friendly.

If Monmouth is your track, BET THE SPEEEEEEED!
Seriously speaking, check the charts for the tracks that you like to play daily just to see if there were any biases on those days. For example if you plan on going to Monmouth on Saturday check the charts for Wed.,Thurs & Fri. to see if the speed was holding up, or maybe they were closing on those days. If you can get replays of the races that is even better. If you know that speed is holding up, that gives you an advantage handicapping the races. You might not toss a horse that will be on the lead for one that is a dead closer.
