I agree 100 % with Mitch44.

I'm a very good handicapper and I always look for the best horse in the race. The horse with the best figures, in form and placed right. If the price is not right to your liking pass the race.

I've had my share of getting a race down to two horses, an 8/5 favorite with top figures, in form placed right only to go with my 2nd choice at 4-1 for a better price. Then watch the 8/5 romp and win easy.

The right process is to find the best horse and bet it. If you don't like the price pass the race. In this competitive game you have to except the fact that for the most part you have to take what they give you. Handicapping and betting strictly for price is a haphazard operation.
