What Tbred handicapping skills or angles and methods transfer best to Harness racing? I'm assumng things like pace, turf skills, trip. Is breeding or conformation useful?

Ken, pace and speed figs and trips are Harness items of note. Also remember the size of the track in Harness it is of VITAL importance. I play almost all Harness and almost all LARGE track Harness which I would say compares most to Turf Racing in T-Bred land. If you have a good set of LS figs for large track Harness and some trip notes look out you are dangerous. Amazing to me how many large prices you can get on "fig" horses in Harness. Just keep all the sharp players in T-Bred land please. Are you listening CJ Milkowski. LOL LOL

If you play the big tracks (Meadowlands, Balmoral), late fractions are integral.
I also think form is integral because harness horses need to race every 7-10 days to stay sharp.
