I have been following TF for a few months and decided today is the day to take the plunge. I have enjoyed reading all of your comments and insights in the past.
I am learning (slowly but surely) how to read the sheets...advice or tips (always accepted) but does anyone have any advice on how to better use the sheets for 2yo/ baby races alil bit better?
Good luck to all this Keeneland opening weekend!!

the one thing i use when there are a lot of lightly raced or unraced 2YO are the TG figs for age, surface and distance. add the 3, very few will be below 40. todays last at KNLD is a perfect example. after the SCR, there are exactly 3 horses with good figs, and less than a 20 fig for firsters.
not very scientific, and the public usually has the 3 favs, but its worth a look.
In addition to what was previously mentioned I look at the trainer stats regarding win % and ROI for first starters. Some of these guys are magicians and will win with horses who\'s breeding doesn\'t indicate that they\'ll fire First time out.
excellent point, and most obvious. that popping sound was my head coming out of my ass....
close hatches, pls dont stumble
