Time to take a look a back and
account for 2009. My strengths were based on location. Aqueduct was a goldmine. Saratoga was a complete disaster while Belmont was
cosi cosi. Dirt/turf or sprint/route only had marginal differences. Thank god for record keeping, discipline, confidence and MS
excel.
The main thing I learned is that the game can be beat; in fact it can be brutally beaten with the existential handicapping principles discussed in the
play of the day posts. In an era of "computer cappers" and outsourcing handicapping to commercial speed figures - having a holistic understanding of the game may be more profitable that ever.
