There are plenty of sources on this sight that have tons of post by other horse players.
I agree with you on one thing. Most if not all people post the hit of the day if any.
It would be best if they showed you the whole day of betting. Showing the ROI (return on investment) that is what I want to see.
Also your not aware of it but the program was developed to incorporate a variety of handicapping styles and ways as it relates to pace. It was not set up as a teaching forum. Folks only contribute because they want to. If the post are not doing you any good then just dont read em .is all.
I look at these post as inspiration and you do pick up pointers.
You better pull yourself out of the mindset that anyone on this platform is going to give you the WPS horses or give you the exact 6 pick. Your not living in reality.
ps you might start looking at the videos. Handicappers do show how they handicap. Also look at some of the old post. They have folks walking you through how
to handicap. Tim has repeated himself all the time. He has talked about Scott and Brohamer and others on line selection and form . Tim has numerous post on exactly what your talking about. Have you searched the sight and read up on them?. Have you gone to the section of RDSS LEVERAGE / PACE. Go there and read and watch the videos.
Good luck and start digging...because if your gonna make it handicapping it is the only way.

Don, I actually agree with part of what you said.
I’m not asking anyone to spoon-feed me picks, and I’m not looking for anyone to give out exact wagers so I can copy them. I’ve been doing this a long time and I’m comfortable with my own approach.
What I’m talking about is the value of what’s being shared here for anyone trying to learn.
My point is the same one you made: showing the whole day of betting, including ROI, wins and losses, would be far more useful than only showing the hit of the day.
Listing contenders and then posting winning results afterward doesn’t really show the full picture. It leaves out the most important step, which is how those contenders are turned into an actual wager and how that holds up over time, including the losses.
I fully understand that handicapping is only part of the game and that wagering psychology matters. But that’s exactly why seeing the transition from contenders to wager construction is important. That is where the real decision is made.
I’m not saying anyone owes that. Just pointing out the difference between showing results and showing a process.
