Handicapping the handicappers

[Bill Lyster]

Recent posts suggest keeping records of the type of races where handicappers have done their best handicapping. I'm curious if there is any concensus as to the areas where success is more often found.

I have not kept such records, but I know that I don't fair well on the low end of the claiming ladder and I don't play many maiden races. Feature races on the weekends are pretty good sources for me, but thats usually when I play.

If enough people respond to this post we might be able to develop information that focuses on groups of races from which the most consistent profits come. Extending from that we might query those successful in a particular group to explain how or why their methods seem to work better.

Looking forward to your input,

Bill
