A couple of weeks ago, a thread talked about spending at least an equal amount of time to structuring your bets as you do handicapping. Simply giving equal weight to every play on the analysis report is misleading.
This year at Saratoga, I attended the races opening week (6 days) and lost a minor amount (-.05 or so ROI). The remainder of the meet I primarily played weekends and in checking my account, I had a positive ROI of 1.02. As an example (I did not buy or red board Sunday's analysis), IMO, Humaita was a standout based on top and pattern in the 7th, especially at ML 12-1 (off at $5.70). I hit the pick 3 for all 3 legs that included this race as well as hitting the race itself. I've never had the confidence I do today in taking a significant stand on a longshot and it is all because of the information provided by Thorograph.
