Brisnet.com Handicapper's Hall of Fame Player Profile  Edward Wright   NY 2007 Horseplayer World Series Qualifier  Occupation: Union Business Agent   Other Accomplishments: Handicapping contests: Belmont July 10-11, 2005 8th $2,000; Gold Coast July 14-16, 2005 21st $1,120; Suffolk OTB June 18, 2005 9th $205; Delaware Park October 14, 2006 20th $100; Delaware Park January 7, 2007 1st $2,780; HPWS January 18-20, 2007 27th(tie) $1,787.50 Bets Won: Belmont 5/14/06 $1 Pick 4 $3,381.50 I became the first qualifier for the 2008 HPWS by winning the Delaware Park mini contest on January 7, 2007. In addition to the first prize I finished with a $989 live bankroll. I have also won and finished in the money in numerous online contests and won many other wagers at OTB, at the track or through my Brisbet account including: Delaware Park 6/18/05 $2 Trifecta $638; Belmont 5/20/06 $1 Pick 4 $930; Canterbury Park 7/3/06 $1 Superfecta $659; Woodbine 7/21/06 $1 Superfecta $1,995.15    Started Playing: I started wagering in early 1985 winning almost $1000 on an "EF" exacta at New York OTB (they used letters back then). I started handicapping a few months later when I realized what I had been doing the past few months was only making educated (and sometimes uneducated) guesses.    Handicapping Mentor(s): I taught myself to handicap by reading numerous books, magazines and articles and learning to read the Daily Racing Form.   Handicapping Style: I don't have a particular style of handicapping. I visualize where every horse "should" be at various points during the race and decide the top prospect(s) from that analysis. I look at jockey/trainer connections, troubled trips, jockeys and trainers with high win and in the money percentages, and focus on my strengths which are sprints and turf racing.  Back to Brisnet.com Hall of Fame [ Sign-up ] [ Products & Prices ] [ Bookstore ] [ Track Info ] [ Library ] [ Tech Support ] [ F.A.Q. ] [ Member Services ] [ Contact Us ]
