I was reading some of the
I was reading some of the ideas for saving racing and so on and so forth but i was reading someones blog about bet canada and they had good ideas here is what i learned thou esp. in the standardbred game if a trainer is good in one race and he has 3 or 4 more in that night most of the time all his horses are good for the night and another thing to look for is a horse that has no gate speed at all and goes to the front the next week he will come off the pace and at the wire 1st or 2nd more often than not this handicapping works for me anyway esp if the trainer takes him out.
