I have found the key race angle to be a mixed bag in no small part to the definition. In a six horse field if the winner and place horse win their next out it is a key race. The fourth place horse who lost by 16 lengths does this mean you should give him special consideration? If four horses have won and the third place horse is entered at a favorable distance and level I would take a second look. Those situations are rare.
I have and still do use angles in my handicapping but generally to make the final decision between the contenders RDSS has pin pointed.
If I may suggest an author that I think could benefit you. Mark Cramer is a very easy read and informative and contrarian.
