Doc's Psychology of Winning articles in the Follow Up are priceless and an aspect of handicapping totally ignored by most author/experts.

Yogi Berra had that wonderful phrase about "90% of the game is 50% mental", or vice versa. I know I've beaten myself a lot more often than I've been beaten by fixed races, drugging trainers, bad rides or all the many other factors handicappers blame for their losses.

doc's "Do you really want to win?" is a question that handicappers should seriously consider every day.
