Old guy advice:
Don't follow any "system"
Don't buy picks or tip sheets
Don't rely on anyone to do your handicapping for you.
Do follow ONE circuit (at least in the beginning). A circuit is New York or Cali or Florida etc etc....you will see the same trainers and horses moving from track to track within that circuit each year. Through this familiarity you will soon begin to notice the way certain trainers or jockeys operate. You will already know many of the horses after following them for a year or two.
Watch as many races as you possibly can from that circuit. Take simple notes on those races...such as, what was the running style of the top three finishers?
Trying to play Gulfstream, Aqueduct, and Laurel at the same time will drain your brain and wallet.
Take your time...use the 25mins between races to your advantage.
Bet ONLY on races where you feel you have an edge
Best of luck to you kid!
