You ever seen an amateur jockey race with a professional jockey?
You ever seen a ringer?
Caffeine and adderall are good tools for handicapping.
But seriously, I use different angles for different types of races.
For maidens, I like the "Pop and Stop" angle. Find a horse that has had only one race and ran well early, but then faded badly. Then it had a long layoff before it's second start in today's maiden race. This tells me trainer had the horse ready to go, but something went wrong. The trainer laid the horse off and hopefully fixed whatever the problem was. Now it might be ready to run today.
Lone speed in a turf marathon. For example, Buck's Boy in the BC Turf Classic.
"Turf Decline Line". This is from Cary Fotias' revolutionary book "Blinkers Off". I use the term "revolutionary" in all seriousness.
