after being around horses for over 40 years now, the most important factor that i have ever seen in predicting how a horse will run is by the way the horse attacks his feed tub after he works. he can't leave one speck of food.
i used to do that every single day of the week when i hung out at race tracks. if the horse worked good and with other good horses, i would follow the horse back to the barn and watch him eat up. this form of handicapping out does any other method known to man. today the problem with it is that horses now train on many different tracks on the same days and i love watching the horses for 2 works so i can compare them. i learned this from the very best of all time, Woody Stevens. every morning for years, i showed up in his barn with coffee and plenty of donut's.
