50 years of handicapping - the Toteboard

I find the toteboard to be very
useful in validating my selection.

I download the toteboard data about
8-10 minutes before post time. I
look at the win, place, show and
exacta payoffs. I think it helps
to show where all the money is going.

Not much money going that early nowadays.

Yup. Best bet is to look at the pools after the gate opens, just ask formula_2002.

But seriously...also look at the DD pools.

It pretty much requires having some clue of what the whales and the public might do, a decent odds line. I'm starting to see some patterns where horses that were once 4/5 are now 1/9.

Win pools seldom vary from the daily double pools coupling the favorite in the previous race.

Bunch of crap…. An informed opinion about an overlay … based on sound handicapping principals ( pace, breeding, works, form, trainer, other entries etc) …. And the proper wager structure—- is the key to winning in a game with a high takeout hurdle …. Not watching the tote. Thank you for playing….

It isn't very efficient to use a jackhammer to slice a cake.
