As for handicapping advice. An old trainer whose name I don't remember if I knew it told. "If they tried something last time( like going to lead) and it didn't work, it isn't going to work today unless something changes." He also said "A cheap horse who starts its season after the circuit biggest meet (in this case Aksarben)is sore and shouldn't be bet after its second race back."
Another old trainer once said" Some jockeys and quite a few trainers can't win a race even if they cheat."
Roy Landis who I mentioned in the other post said that there are horses who love certain kinds tracks and there others who hate them. He was referring not only to the various kinds of muddy tracks, but also certain kinds of fast tracks like cuppy ones as well.
