Probably the biggest help was the statistic courses in graduate school.    Handicapping Style: Strictly a number-crunching, statistical type approach with no intuitive handicapping at all. Relying mostly on the Brisnet Class Ratings. My successes wouldn't have been possible without the Bloodstock data. In my research I tested all the ratings I could find (DRF speed ratings, Beyer numbers, etc.) and Bloodstock's data, especially the class ratings, were the strongest predictor I found.  Back to Brisnet.com Hall of Fame [ Sign-up ] [ Products & Prices ] [ Bookstore ] [ Track Info ] [ Library ] [ Tech Support ] [ F.A.Q. ] [ Member Services ] [ Contact Us ]
