10 power point rule - if a horse has a 10 point power point avantage over all the other horses he will probably win/the trick is to find one with some odds

Good works - my favorite handicapping point. The speed of the workout is not as important as when he worked. Before a sprint it is ideal to have 3 works of 4 furlongs one week apart. If a horse is worked five furlongs before races it is a good chance he will come out the gate hard.

Jockey upgrade - I rarely bet jockeys, but some get hot and some are especially good at certain tracks. This is probably because they know the trainers and get the best rides.
improving - a great handicapping indicator especially when it is cold
likes distance - some horses sprint some like long distance

jock - trainer combo - trainers usually have a favorite jockey they give him/her the good mounts. They do that because sometimes they need a favor (bad horse that needs a jock or good horse that needs to be pulled up).

Down in class - This can be a great reason to bet horse, a horse who runs last in $50000 allowance is probably better than all the horses in a 5000 claimer

this horse really likes track - some tracks are different as Colonial Downs has a really big track and great turf.

off the turf pick - sometimes a trainer will enter a horse in a turf race hoping it will rain and the race will come off the turf – then the dirt horse has the advantage

Turf Paradise strategy - I have discovered a strategy that seems to work very well in TP 6f races. Speed over class. Bet the exacta or tri with the horse with good speed races over the horse who has run in bigger money races.
