Jeff, this track looks tough to me. For instance the #10 horse in tonight's race of the week towers over all the others in the readouts. These seem to lose more often then not. You have horses coming out of 4 1/2 furlong races and going to 6 1/2 furlongs. I am just guessing if these horses will be competitive in this race or not. Aodds Gold does not even try to select a line for these horses. Jeff I don't talk about trainers or conditions much, but I look at these factors also. I especially look at no-win trainers that for whatever reason find a way to lose.

I realize the horse runs the race, and this is germane to the Sartin Methodology. The horse is my major focus, but in close calls I look at these other factors as well. Joe Takach used to have a list for these type of trainers. He called it his "Prolific Losers" list.
