Contenders Handicapping Philosophy
www.ContendersWins.com
In order to successfully select a winner in any race you first need to find the Contenders. You can then analyze the likely running of the race to see who it will favor. In a typical thoroughbred horse race one or more horses attempt to run wire to wire, others are content to sit just off the pace while some sit back conserving energy for a late stretch run and still others needing a perfect trip to win, usually run mid-pack along or close to the rail. Based on a typical race we suggest evaluating each race in four parts. Assume the RACE HAS ALREADY BEEN RUN and you were told the winner.... 1. went wire to wire ( Key to the race ) or 2. came from just off the pace or 3. came from the back with a late run or 4. was a longshot who got a good trip Which horse would you say won the race for each of these four senarios? Those horses are your Contenders. You can use the information contained in any or all of our reports to determine the four contenders. If you can't narrow the field to only four contenders without a degree of confidence then it's probably a race that needs to be skipped.
