Two questions I'm hoping to get you all's insight into:
1) What are the most important things (physicality, behavior, etc.) to look for when handicapping two-year olds (in particular two-year old first time starters) in the paddock and walking ring?
2) Perhaps a more general question, but are there any trainer-intent observables you look for as well in the paddock or post-parade? For example, if a trainer has two horses entered and spends more time with one than the other is that a potential signal. If the trainer leaves the saddling to someone else vs. doing it on their own, etc.
As always, appreciate any thoughts you might have on these questions. Hoping to find some way to pick a winner for once in the two-year old races!
