When Reading the Fine Print in a Program Can Lead to a Nice Profit

A key element in handicapping is understanding why a horse has been entered in a certain race.

Why is it dropping in claiming price?

Why is it switching to turf?

Why is it cutting back to a sprint?

Handicappers have to make a judgment based on the best available evidence, which can be tricky. Yet sometimes it only involves reading the fine print about a race.
