Beginner’s Guide to Trip Handicapping

Description:
Trip handicapping is a popular method for uncovering winners, yet it’s not as easy as it might seem. What might seem “bad” may simply be inconsequential.
Simply because a horse had an awful trip in his last race, that alone does not mean it is destined to cruise to the winner’s circle in his or her next start.
At the heart of the matter is finding those times when you have a strong conviction that a bad trip prevented a horse from finishing a spot or two better in a race and – and this is a very important “and” – that runner figures to atone in her next race.
