Excellent job Bill...

Your on your way to be a "true handicapper"
Reading and understanding the horses PP's is the first step..

Now you should consider now to eliminate low percentage horses
Over the years , I've chosen these as my top :

1) odds over 20-1
2) layoffs over 90 days
3) out of the money finishes

yes, its true that some of these come in, but in the long run the percentages will be with you.

in this race you would have eliminated the

2-3-5-7-8-10 thats more than half the field!!!
then you can do whatever you want to use ..match-up or software etc
