But listening to TVG on the tube while working from home and reading things on DT there are clearly many things to take into consideration when handicapping a race.
Any insight would be helpful regarding angles and recognizing the basic angles.

One angle I like in turf sprints at the Midwest and Southern tracks is to find horses who showed speed with pace pressure and then faded in two-turn turf races. When they turnback in distance, they usually run in mid-back and show powerful closing moves. They generally offer good odds unless there is an obvious class drop because the public sees the speed and fade at longer distances and think the horse is a quitter.
