I used to love FTS races, and even though i have modified my handicapping over the years, i still look at some of my original "FTS angles" mainly out of habit:
1. FTS is MSW...steady works with a few quick times, good trainer, good jock, tote actions.
2. FTS is Mcl.... if they show fast works i usually throw them out, if the experienced runners in the race look bad i will just pass the race.
3. FTS is a race other than maiden i will pay close attention, especially tote and what i would call trainer intention.
Now i know that tote action has changed over the years, but i started usuing these angles back in the early/mid 70's and habits are hard to break. I havent done any recent research on these angles either. Where these angles or any angles really get good are when " normal " handicapping leads you away from the other horses. rbj
