You must find a guy you can trust.
Select a Trainer. A guy with a decent Rep. He'll hold your hand.
Its fairly simple.....
One unsolicited piece of advice I'll give you. Do not select your own claims at first. Unless you intimately know the stock on the grounds I would follow your Trainers advice. They are out there every day. They see them exercising, they here Jockeys talk up, or talk down a horse. They're on the pulse. Claiming low-level to mid-level Thoroughbreds off Past Performances is not a good idea.
Is JOTB at C-town? He'll guide you along. I had him up to Saratoga three years ago. A nice guy who's been grinding it out in the trench's long enough to help you avoid the Land Mines.
G'luck.
