Sample of Thorostats Basic handicapping report

Let's look at this sample Handicapping sheet and evaluate the race. Our class par is 93. We see 4 horse's that have the ability to run to this class par...the #4, #7 and #6 horse's. I will first eliminate the 6 horse for his last race speed number was declining and connection factors are low. Now down to 2 horse's what to do, they are so close in Power Rating's?

Well the 7 looks like he may be the better choice due to higher speed numbers however the connection factors are slim to none. Our #4 horse shows he can run in this class and seems to have the better connection factors. Not to mention the fact this is his 3rd start and his speed numbers were consistent in his first 2 races without showing wear from those races which indicate form to me. I believe the #4 should improve in todays race and he is the top rated choice! #4 won and paid $17.80
