    Found an interesting interview on Matt Bernier, DRF handicapper. He was interviewed by Horse Racing Nation a few years back. Here is his take on how he handicaps a race. Just thought it was interesting and it’s similar to how I go about handicapping.

    So far there has not been a lot of the how, the Horseplayers handicap, so what is you process or emphasis when you go through the past performances to formulate your bets?


    I’m big on race shape. I would like to be able to visualize before a race happens, what I think is most likely to happen. Let’s just say you go through a race ten times, who’s going to get to the lead the majority of time, barring a bad break or some racing issue and go from there. I like to go about pace – if you get a race loaded with front end speed then obviously it’s more likely to set up for someone from behind or vice-versa. I like to envision how the race will be run. I’ve heard a lot of people recently say they don’t think pace matters hardly at all - that it’s all kind a class thing. To each their own, but that’s what makes the game fun, that there’s not one tried and true method to do it.

    Yeah agree with Matt's view. You Mr. G&T are pretty good at getting an idea how the race will be run. I depend more on the pace numbers that BRIS provides. And yeah the science of horse handicapping is a real subjective exercise. Many different ways to approach the game. THx.

    That’s exactly what I think about horse racing. Handicapping is very subjective in a lot of ways and there are so many ways of approaching it. I don’t know if you follow DRF or not; I like to watch their video on Race of the Day, Out of the Gate and Matt Bernier show. Don’t care much about Mike Watchmaker though. GL with your DW.

    Yeah I usually do not check out DRF. Prefer Bloodhorse, and Paulick report. I think DRF has some good material, but to me they are all about making that money. I must get 2 or 3 emails a day from them trying to sell me something. I know the DRF is your main out for PP's,, but I like the BRIS with the pace numbers. I understand DRF since they acquired TImeform now contain some timeform pace figures. Good deal.
