Tony,
Thats a tough one. When I was learning handicapping, I was given advice to apply for a job on the backside. My problem is horses don't like me. I'm dead serious. They get spooky around me. I had good contacts in Florida though and was much more in tune to the backside. I had free admission every year to Hialeah and a stable pass and sat in a couple trainers boxes. I still get an occasional heads up but thats about it.
You can meet the trainers in the clubhouse after the races. Some of them like to have a drink. I'm not shy and I told them honestly what I thought about their horses and if you're sincere and they see you each Saturday after the race or in the paddock they get to know you. Trainers can learn from handicappers too. Spotting biases and sharing them and the like. Ascertaining post and pace issues. Although local trainers generally know everything. None of which applies to you in North Carolina...lol
I'm in the same category you are. I mean you're here. Thats a big plus. White Mercedes is apparently Steve Allday. John Chance just spoke volumes in this thread. Dale Romans is a suspect. Todd Pletcher is a suspect. I will now monitor Stanley Hough. I was not aware of that. Weaver is an up and comer, but to my eye Saratoga County is the only horse of his looking odd, so I'll reserve judgement.
