    You have to be in the inner circle to make money. Like anything else, YOU have to have an edge.

    The edge is alot of hard work! Actually been handicapping ONE race & thinking if I should get envolved full time again like I was '69-'86 all morning. I think that it is alot better today then back then with everything being available right in front of me. Anyone can master the horses within 5 years simply by beginning at the beginning. Look at nothing but the two year old races for the first year. Then work with both 2 and 3 the next year and so on. Ther is no reason why one cannot win from the start. With two years olds you want the bet, form, and speed besides class.

    1 and 1a are the horses to beat and my key, 3 and 6 are foreign shippers which always do good in races here in USA. They do not bring junk here. I like the 7 with new jock having blinkers firt time. Clearly looks like speed of race and must be caught. I am also putting the 2 on top having beaten the 7 last out easily. The two fits perfectly with a fine record and very fast.

    My impression is that they all model and that for the average punter trying to glean an advantage with takeouts as high as 20% is a fools errand.

    My system has bet on every UK race since Oct 13 2012 (4200 races). It has returned between 10 to 20% profit on average from every race. So, unless it is an unrepresentative snapshot, I guess it can be done. I'm currently building the bankroll whenever I can. Depending on the results between now and October (1 year trial), I might deposit a decent BR with a bookie in Nov and take out 5% every day. This could be wishful thinking, of course.....
