I only met Jim Bradshaw one time at a seminar in Saratoga many years ago. He worked up some races for our "day at the races" and gave his selections. None of these were very impressive, but no matter, I came away from this seminar knowing that this man understood the game. I don't recall his exact words, but he said something that went sort of like this.
"Horse racing is an easy game. When the gate opens one horse takes the lead. If no other horse can pass him, he wins."
In other words all he did was give you the opening line in the text book of handicapping a horse race. It is where every race starts.
The 4th race at PHA on 3/8/09 will illustrate what he meant. And I am sure he won not have needed a computer in order to get this winner.
