Dave:

I have to admit to being new on here and never seeing your picks but a question pops to my mind. Zbasically, a time management issue? How do you handicap ALL those cards? Obviously, there is a skill set I am missing or at least a clue or two how to manage myself better. I don't want to analyze all tracks as if I can't play 2-4% into a pool without negatively effecting myself, I pass on the track. But still 4-5 tracks a day is a reach for me. By Mountaineer time, I am tired. Maybe I am old. But even this year sitting on my porch at the Don Cesar for the last couple months....man, I get tired by the 4th at Mountainner. Heck, even I have my own horses racing I pack it in. Obviously, I am missing something other than youth!!! I think we'd all benefit, me included, to know how your day plays out and you are able to get into all those tracks. thanks in advance.

Chuck, I am a disabled Vietnam vet, and as I it here in this wheelchair day after day, other than my grandkids now and then to play with, I have nothing else to do other than play the pony's. I played low limit stud poker for 15 years on average from 6 to 12 hours a day 28 days a month. When I finally had to give that up I did nothing for quite a while - then I remembered how as a kid I was a decent handicapper. At 15 I remember being at Santa Anita with my dad, My dad was betting a horse name Costa Bravo with Shoemaker on him, when he went up to the window I had told him to get me a $4 win on the number 1, the horse was named Boyle and he was 99 to one. When my dad came back he had put my 4 bucks on Costa Bravo and told me he didn't want me to lose my money - that why he bet it on his pick instead, needless to say I was angry and begged him to go back up an put $4 on #1 for me, he wouln't and of course I was to young to bet, finaly this guy sitting behind me says give me your money I'l bet it for you, there was 2 minute to post. Anyway he bet it an put 2 bucks on it for himself, it was 6 furlongs - I can still hear Joe Hernandez call, "the flag is up, and there they go, Boyle breaks on top."

Into the stretch Boyle was in front by 3 lengths and Henandez announces here comes Costa Bravo on the outside flying past horses. He caught up to Boyle and it was a photo, we were in the cheap seats far from the finish line, and had to wait out the photo. When the #1 came up on the tote board the roar of the crowd made it sound like everybody had him - but of course they could't have. Boyle paid $209.80 to win

I'll be watching your posts, especially any that give hints of your methods! I can hit over 80% ITM using trainer %, ITM finishes, and checking workout and race regularity. But wins is much harder even with my own methods and no way I could do as many races! Congratulations!
