I almost always end up boxing 4 or 5 horses in the Derby.

I wake up and play darts to help me decide which horse i'm going to use in each race. I fire up MS Word and type the name of each horse in 36 sized comic sans font. Then I print out the names of the horses and cut them individually with the scissors my mom bought me for kindergarten. Best scissors i've ever owned (and they're lucky too). I pin the names to the back of the dartboard and my first throw is my A horse, second horse is my B horse, third horse is my C horse, and fourth horse is my $ horse...the horse that can't lose, but I won't use.

I almost always prefer wheels to boxes. Wheels allow you to construct wagers weighted towards the horses you like better and the ones you perceive to offer better value. Boxes weight each equally for each slot in the order of finish.

Not sure if this will help ...but...
A ) Only ""box"" when you have two or more grey horses in the field. B ) The only way to use the ""wheel"" is using the dart board (see the way in a post up in this thread ) C ) You should ONLY use the ""win"" bet for the horse that crosses the wire first.. Unless its a DH..and then you may wish you played more then one horse to win. D ) If your really confused A good hint is look @ the color of the silks, IF they match the color of the bandages on the legs... Means the Trainer pays attention to details... [ that has NOT been added to the DRF trainer stats yet ] E) Check the local's tracks Happy Hour schedule, this will ADD to your bankroll. F ) Hang out by the rail..and listen to the railbirds, and play whatever they Dont say will win. [ guys with the binoc. are a added plus ] G ) Write down where you parked the car.. IN case you DID find the happy hour. H ) Have Fun after all been thru and remember to pick up(on the way out ) the advanced form for tomorrows races, so you can study all nite and do this again tomorrow !

I never wheel because I only bet horses I have a solid opinion on. Wheeling means I have no opinion, hence no bet.
