I’ve been trip handicapping since replays started in the late sixties. Benny you look for trouble that horses have in races but miss the most important element of trip handicapping. What jocks are thinking after looking at the form or videos of the race that day. Trainers tell their jocks how they see the way the race shapes up and depending on if it’s a leading jock give their advice. Anybody can see how a horse leaves the gate, and traverses during the race but seeing you have never ridding in a race you don’t have a clue of what’s happening with things like being pelted with dirt being stuck in a switch and getting your horse to want to start his run. You don’t look at the jock how his knees are set on his trip or what is a normal grab or hold for the trip. Horses are not stupid they won’t run up in a hole that’s going to close on them and most important how riders start asking with there hands. There’s much more the information needed to make you the best at what you are doing, Knowing dam’s and grandams, and siblings abilities when they where racing knowing if they can make a distance. Now what you will never really understand and be able to predict how a horse will run in a race is his last 24. Do you know weather he bedded down the night before this race? Did you know how his last days gallop went before his race did he jump shadows and get a little sore? And last Trainers, you seem to praise one trainer who claims many horses weekly. I believe you know who I’m talking about, and I’ve been at the track sixty seven years watching how outfits operate on the backside. But let me give you some incite on him every horse that goes into his barn will never be the same. He has more claims that go to the farm or never see the track again. In all my years in racing I have never seen a trainer as bad as him everything he gets his hands on go downhill quickly. He might win some races off thee claim but if they are in his barn a month they are on there way to the farm…Mr. Murphy
