Best handicapping shows out there past/present
I miss the “regular guy” handicapping show at River Downs. There was a guy named Jody on that show that crushed some decent priced winners. The host was named John. I wonder where these guys ended up? The show was great because they never bombarded the audience with information. They kept it simple and focused on equipment changes which IMO is a huge consistent angle. They also included old wives tales kind of angles which some seem to have been proven tried and true over the years. Examples would be : only horse in a sloppy race with a tail tie and horses with longer distance workouts but racing in a shorter distance. I always remember one of them talking about long shot winners. He made an excellent point that if a long shot in a race wins it usually means there was a trouble line or excuse for the top favorites. Handicapping bad trips or anomaly’s throughout a race is virtually impossible but can be incorporated in some cases.
