Generally speaking I consider myself a pace handicapper. If I had to break it down...
55% Pace
25% Class
10% Trainer
10% other stuff...(jock, form cycles, alignment of the stars and moons...)

How about the rest of you folks?

Hey, GR1, I only use RG in a non-$ contest setting to keep you guys honest!

I voted "other" here because in my everyday handicapping I use a combination of techniques (speed, class, pace, form, trainer) depending on the situation.

I have to ditto ceejay's answer.
Some races are not set up for pace handicapping. Some races are decided mainly by current form.
I do not use trainers and jocks at all. But, know I should and will soon.
Do not use final speed figures because they are overbet most of the time.

I checked other because I get my contenders a variety of ways. Actually, I spend so little time handicapping....and so much time structuring my wagers. Handicapping for one specific horse has not been my style for a long time. I admire those of you that can pinpoint races to such a degree.
