Hi Bill,
One point Howard raised about trusting the feeling in your gut to pass is something I'm happy to rely on.
The uneasy feeling from your subconscious might be caused by anything, not fully understanding a race, not having done all the work etc. Your subconscious knows & is telling you loud & clear.
Sure, occasionally you can pass and see one of your contenders win, but how many times has something unanticipated occurred to offset it?
Now, if I feel a bit uneasy I check the race again & usually I haven't got a true handle on finding two horses so I pass.
Following on from the above, I've also realised that the above is more likely to occur when handicapping during racing as opposed to preparing beforehand. Another lesson in there for myself.
