PHYSICALITY HANDICAPPING MADE EASY
This 2001 writing offers the wagering public all they ever needed to know concerning race day physicality
in a compact but very powerful booklet that is for both satellite as well as on track wagering.
The myth that “physicality handicapping” is only for racetrack insiders
is completely destroyed in 13 compact and user-friendly chapters that even a newcomer to the sport can grasp with only a single reading.
If you’ve been wondering why you constantly rip up tickets day after
day for no explicable reason, perhaps your selection’s race day physicality is silently screaming that he’s about to run a sub-par race and to stay off him today!
Here’s your chance to save
all those wasted wagers and move on to a more-ready horse!

POSTURES, PROFILES and PERFORMANCE
This writing is like no other in the handicapping marketplace.
To most racegoers, all horses
look alike. This is why “punters” squander millions and millions of dollars every year on horses who clearly demonstrate prior to the start of their race, that they have no intention
of putting in a winning performance.
If you’ve spent any time in the paddock, by now you’ve come to the
conclusion that the overwhelming majority of horses run exactly the way they look! Unless a runner is mentally and physically prepared to
race, his outstanding “backpaper” is of little consequence.
POSTURES, PROFILES and PERFORMANCE will supplement and bolster
your own handicapping methodology. Its content is to be used only in conjunction with your personal strategy. You pick the contenders
and this writing visually shows you which of your selections are most likely to run back to or improve upon their prior efforts.
POSTURES, PROFILES and PERFORMANCE gives you some real inside information---your own!!!
