The Art Of Watching Races

For those who rely on just Sartin to keep you in the black I say good luck, you are going to need it. Often also called Trip Handicapping, there is real skill that one should learn that puts things together nicely. To be able to watch and remember by name, a runner who is all done because in its last race it stopped reaching. Explained to me many times by a trainer I got to know and learn from, reaching seen by a runner whose front legs are observed to be reaching competitively. Conversely it can viewed and remembered when a runner stops reaching abruptly while being competitive, if viewed properly you know that was that runners last race. Most runners only have three good races in them before they require some rest and or conditioning to resume being competitive. Another thing to notice is if a horse is pissed off, they do not run well if they are pissed off. Using a pissed off horse because of wager capping will help the chalk immensely. Another thing to notice is in post parade is there a runner throwing its head about, if you wager capped one of these into your parlays your also shoveling s**t against the tide and asking the chalk to slap you. There are many tells that could be talked about here if people have the inclination to post something, so feel free to continue this thread.
