Racing is made up of two main divisions: earnings cap and Disability. profit caps systems to determine earnings in months and years and has ‘nothing’ to do with horse selection. The handicap is the system for determining the order of arrival of the races by choosing horses and has ‘nothing’ to do with money. The factors written below are only for the disabled. Factors such as: (1) class: which is composed of 8 elements: (has.) cost of the horse paid by the current owner and the higher the better (b.) type of breed to which the horse mainly belongs (maiden, claim, assignment, handicap, stakes, Grade 3, Grade 2, Grade 1) (c.) purse money amount horse racing for today and past (d.) competition horse he has raced against, such as maiden, grade 1, stakes, etc. (me.) how many times in the past yield of money (F.) earnings: lifetime and annual (gram.) bloodline or pedigree (H.) Age: Too old rarely wins against too young on the track.

Continue: (two) track surface: hard, soft, rough, smooth, broken, uphill or downhill at an angle (3) stud fee (4) pace fractions of the leader and how close the horse you are considering playing was to the position of the leader and the distance between them (5) starts at the gate: the horse had good starts or problems and how many times (6) form: in the last 4 races, when the horse walks out the gate, does the horse regain position and lengths or does it consistently lose position and lengths at each finish call? (8) Is the female horse running against the males? because females rarely win against males unless she is a good female (9) horse’s previous performance: date of last race, track surface, track condition (dry, wet, muddy, sloppy), weather on race day, type of race (single, claim, allotment, handicap, betting, grade 1 or 2 or 3) horse has run, horse fractions (no lead fractions of horse), position and/or distances gained or lost in each call plus position in door openings and station number.

Continuing number 8: beyer’s speed number (0-60 is inferior horse, 60-80 is low, 80-100 is good, 100+ is excellent), morning line dues, rhythm type (press, solitary press, middle pack press), rhythm form (early beat, late beat), jockey’s in the money percent, trainer’s in the money percent, last odds allowed in 2 previous races, medication used in this race, equipment used or changed, track variants, comments, current field size and previous field size run, distance today, distance change from previous race, race description and conditions (found at the top of the program and DRF statistics).

Continuation of number 8: key races (if any) horse ran into it produced Next winners, type of track (grass, synthetics, dirt), position and lengths in reference to the leading horse, training (how many bullets in the last 15 days), how good the horse is at sprints and/or routes. There are some others which will be named in the following articles. There are about 15 base factors and subfactors to those base factors. And there are subfactors of the subfactors and all of them can be combined in the form of two or more of them together forming angles by the hundreds. There are two main forms of handicap: common (which most players do) and statistics (which includes ‘advanced statistics’). There is a correct way to bet on horses, but this will be written about in other articles. This is basically how to use handicap factors.
