This is my first attempt at handicapping horses.
I dont really know what I am doing, but this should help me some. Would appreciate if someone could reply if I was even looking at this stuff right.
Most of the stuff I point out probably doesnt even matter, so this post could be completely stupid, but oh well. I'm not wagering any money on this either, unless someone says something I said actually made sense and to for one or two of the picks

Race 1:Queenofluv had a good workout time at 5 furlongs and gets a jockey upgrade I believe??

Race 2:Flightquest drops down and stretches out. Not much speed, but could be coming late.Could benefit from a speed duel between My Sweet Lucy and Aetha. at 20/1 ML, if it stays up there, maybe worth a shot?

Race 3: Didn't get much here

Race 4:Bold Score drops down gets a jockey upgrade and comes off a fast workout. 12/1 Morning Line. Also like Dont Tell Wendy and Hagerstown. It seems I cant recognize why the favorites are favored?

Race 5:Looks like there is some speed in here and some horses that like to be out front. Devilish, Bye Bye Birdie, Pammy N Cami, and Two Four Dancer could be vying for the lead out front. Think Devilish could wire them, couldnt really find a horse to close out of this group.

Race 6:A bunch of first time starters here.

Race 7:Solitaro looks strong. 9/5 ML, probably end up at even money.

Race 8:???

This could have been the dumbest post in the history of the horse forum, but as long as I learn something. Later

Damn forums went down! Hope Mazel is still going to post hollywood and give me some feedback. I plan on watching the races today and see how they play out. No golf for me today.

matt,

i'm not playing hollywood today as this is the single most miserable betting card i've seen in a while. good work on your first write-up here. here's my comments:

r1-- queenofluv's 5f workout was on may 15th, before her last race so i wouldn't put any value on it. the rider upgrade is slight, but iwth a horse who has already raced four times in three months, i don't know how much improvement she has. i wouldn't bet her.

r2: anything can happen with these type of cheap horses, but i would be surprised if flight quest stepped up to win. chance, though...

r4: bold score has a chance on the stretch out. segovia will be favored but she is very vulnerable- you're right, this is a great time to try and beat the favorites.

r6: there are a bunch of first timers, but a couple hae very good connections and precocious pedigrees. should be a good race between the 1,2,3 and 6.

r7: i'd never bet a horse like solitario who doesn't like to win. sweepingly has a huge chance to wire this field as end sweep is a useful turf sire.

good luck, matt, and i'm glad to see you're putting forth the effort-- this is a long learning process and you'll get better each day. good luck.

Not a bad job on the first race I ever capped I guess. My horses came in 2nd and 3rd behind the 4/5. Maybe in the future, I might hit that exacta or tri, though the exacta was for peanuts.


Race: 1 Win Place Show
1st 5 BEACH PIZZA 3.80 2.40 2.10
2nd 4 QUEENOFLUV 4.20 2.80
3rd 3 CLEVER JUNE 4.00
4th 6 SWISS SKIER
$2 Exacta 5-4 16.80
$2 Trifecta 5-4-3 92.20
$2 Quinella 4-5 10.20
