Ok Shoeless.
I can take a hint.
I'll take off my zombie hat and come out of the closet
Here is what I look for. (more or less)
First I look at:
1) Recent action, workouts, and overall general form. ("HOW WILL YOUR HORSE RUN TODAY")
2) Tandems
3) Speed. (early/late/total)
4) What has the horse been doing lately and with whom.
Then I look for a pace line that might represent today's probable effort.
I will go as many as 5 or 6 lines down if necessary.
6) No mud or slop. (I find that the SR is usually elevated for those races)
7) Never use the highest SR in his running line (They are usually an aberration)
8) Avoid projected or extracted if at all possible.
There, that's my three things.
I have been handicapping for a lot of years and I am finding the more I know the less I know.
