and carry speed well, even when going longer
In Post Parade look for horse on its toes and ears
pointed up
Look for Jockey with option to ride 2 or more horses in same race, choose who they
choose
European horses on soft or yielding Turf
Horse ridden by
same jockey entire career or on the year (particularly Kentucky Derby horses, jockey's conserve these horses until the
big race so form lines are often misleading)
Problems in most recent start (EX - Traffic, Jockey
falling off)
Recently Claimed horse that hasn't won yet for new connections
Jockey with Win on horse is a sign of familiarity and a team comfortable with eachother
Hot
Trainer (Statmaster Last 30 days)
New Jockeys (Good young riders pre prime, under 1000 races
and under 23 years old, Joel Rosario before he ever won a big race was bringing in one longshot after another in California
Bet against big favorites with below average connections (jockey and/or trainer with low win %)
Bet against favorites and lean towards longshots in maiden races and races for 2 year olds with lots of lightly raced
starters
