Finding Longshots

[GeezerHead]

The absolute first thing to do to find LONGSHOTS.

DELETE the Favorite from your Analysis.

Yes, this is something Doc Sartin and I discussed and agreed upon.

If you think the favorite is that strong... don't Win bet in that race. However, there is plenty of money to be made betting against strong favorites.

Identifying Races where LONGSHOTS are likely:

+ Low class races

+ Races with 9 or more runners

+ Records of races which produce Longshots

If you don't keep records... checkout BRIS (Twinspires.com)

Available for free, on computer and mobile app with an account.

Try this LONGSHOT paceline selection method...

Best race on Distance and Surface within 400 DAYS.:shock:

On occasion, I have gone back 450 days or more, but never 2 years.

This method works great for me at lower class tracks and low class races everywhere.

Beware of extreme Speed Ratings that are over 5 ticks faster than all others in the Past Performances.


note: Similar to the BRIS Back Speed Rating.

NW2 Lifetime: paceline selection idea...

Use the line of the MAIDEN WIN!?


Embrace the KISS method.

+ races at 5 and 5.5 furlongs
