I would study some popular day trading works, game theory in poker and all the risk / reward / probability studies I could find.
Long story short; I would travel a unique path in a game where so many march in step. You actually have an advantage in some respects in that you don’t carry the years of wagering scars and the time honored racing theory that is ingrained in so many. You have a clean slate and it might pay-off to start without the foundation most of your competition bets from.
Best of luck Doug!

i would say to follow doug's advice also if you can't find a winning horseplayer to learn from. doug's premise is that horsebetting is basically a competition among bettors and if you follow the popular beliefs you won't beat the take out.
