Arrive at the place of action early, because you must be ready
to attack. This is a new day and must be faced with confidence
and a positive attitude. Any negative attitudes or thoughts
should be cast aside. Make sure you have everything needed for
today's battle.
Here are reasons for early arrival:
1. Locate a comfortable, quite well lighted area.
2. Locate the betting machines and obtain a voucher,
because if there are long lines you don't want to get
shut out.
3. Get early scratches, track conditions, and if races
are off the turf.
4. If attending a simulcast outlet, locate the monitor
for each track.
5. Review races to play and ones to disregard.
Handicap in advance as much as possible, because once the
action has started it is possible to become uncertain and make
mistakes.
Tips for Advance Handicapping:
1. Divide your Racing Program into segments for each track.
2. Identify the running style of all horses.
3. Place a mark by early pace runners with pace figures
that shows the inability to gain or maintain the lead.
4. Mark all Match Up Tandems.
5. Place a mark by all horses that are not contenders.
6. Place a mark by the contenders.
9. Never underline the pace line.
