Doing this little column brought to mind a question: of course, almost every track has people who do pre-race analysis. Would doing post-race analysis be just as beneficial to horseplayers?
Imagine if, after each race, the track handicapper(s) went through the replay, pointing out unusual circumstances and difficult/easy trips that may have impacted the running of the race. I think it's an interesting concept. What say you?

Looks good. Make sure you follow the bias, although lately Belmont has been playing fairly most of the time. Whenever I did television, I would always mention any tough trips or horses that I thought might benefit from the start, or horses that may have been compromised in some way, after the race was over. If an analyst doesn't do that, I don't know what he or she is doing...
Years ago in NY the NY Post had a sportwriter named Henry Heck, who wrote a long detailed column on last night's harness races every day. It was great because he commented on the trips and even criticized the drivers.
