Whatever method of handicapping is used in my humble opinion, needs to be highly selective. So there is a place for database handicapping in finding winners. Some people today talk about what trainers stats are, like it's the last word in handicapping. And that's a good approach. I once knew a successful handicapper that only bet races for NW of 3. Years ago when I first went to the Track, there was always a guy at the entrance selling Tipsheets... They had names like Jacks Little green card and the like. The ones I liked best were the ones with BEST BET OF THE DAY. I think that's the best approach for me on a limited bankroll.
