Title: Track Bias
Post by: billk5300s on March 09, 2014, 03:40:35 PM
When handicapping with TG there will be symbols for a dead rail(x) or questionable number ($) which can be useful.  A lot of tracks such as Hawthorn, Oaklawn, Santa Anita, and Oaklawn appear to have major rail bias.  In addition you cannot be wide on the turns, whether a horse has momentum or not doesn\'t matter, if you more than 4 lengths back you basically have no shot.  There may be an occasional exception but for the most part it\'s speed, close, and rail.  I was thinking that it could be helpful to add this to the graph.  Maybe a sr for speed and rail, cr, for close rail, or some other symbol.  Does anyone chart track biases and make them available for purchase?

$ means heavily bet for no apparent reason.
