Wolfson Nabs Handicapper of the Year Title


Steve Wolfson Jr. and his father, both Brisnet.com users, parlayed two strong days into amazing first and fourth place finishes in the $212,000 Daily Racing Form/NTRA National Handicapping Championship. A member since 1994, Wolfson Jr. was interviewed here in the Handicapping Times back in July, 2002 for his win using Ultimate PPs and Prime Power in the NYRA Saratoga Survivor contest.

"The Ultimate PPs are very helpful in tracking biases and pace scenarios as well as assessing running style and early speed points," Wolfson explained in last year's interview. "I used them in conjunction with DRF PPs. Also, the Prime Power rating serves as another check. I find it helpful to have the input of a scientifically derived analysis to serve as an additional round of evaluation."

Congratulations go out to the Wolfson family for an incredible accomplishment and a superb weekend of handicapping!

The success of Brisnet.com members did not end there. Five of the top six finishers over the course of the two days were BRIS customers. Tim Holland of Midway, KY was a member of last year's winning Keeneland Team, and he finished third in this year's tournament, earning $10,000. Holland picked up an additional $5,000 by helping the Keeneland team defend it's title by capturing the four-man team prize. Member T. J. Taylor, a Brisnet.com Hall of Fame member and a three-time qualifier, was also part of the winning Keeneland team.

Other successful Brisnet.com members included Rick Palm (5th, $3,000), Ed Dixon (6th overall and a daily prize winner, $4,000), and Dave "the Maven" Gutfreund ($2,000, daily prize winner).

Six Brisnet.com members shared prize winnings in the Match Play contest (head-to-head competition): David Stiles, Monte Engler, Ron Ferguson, Ed De'Ath, Dave Gutreund, and Steve Wolfson Sr.

Three of the four Handicappers of the Year have been Brisnet.com members, and in aggregate, the Brisnet.com customers have earned just under $400,000 in the four years of the popular contest.

Congratulations again to all the prize winners. For more information on the incredible success of Brisnet.com members, visit Brisnet.com's Hall Of Fame.

Insider Picks & Power Plays

3 FREE Race Dates in February, a $30 Value!

Find out this February why Insider Picks & Power Plays is one of the most unique and powerful selection sheets ever produced for horse racing. Brisnet.com is giving away 3 FREE unlimited dates in February, so download as many sheets as you like for the dates of your choice.

Not only does Insider Picks & Power Plays provide high quality selections, but it also identifies powerful angles that can give you the edge at the races.

Wouldn't you like to know if a horse is exiting a very strong race? The Power Play angles will inform you if a runner is exiting a KEY RACE or a potential key race. For example, it pays to know that a given horse is coming out of a race in which four runners won their next start! How many horseplayers have the time to keep old result charts, circle horses that won their next start, and then keep tabs of other runners exiting that key race? And then repeat that tedious process for multiple racetracks? With Insider Picks & Power Plays, the work is done for you!

Do you want to know what horses have been working exceptionally well at their track based on age and distance? CLOCKER'S SPECIAL, another Power Play angle, pinpoints the runners that have been working the best versus their own age group. There's no reason to compare a two-year-old's workout time to an older, accomplished racehorse. A vital angle for all races, Clocker's Special is especially useful in maiden and juvenile events.

Other Power Play angles include:

  • HOT TRAINERS & JOCKEYS
  • HOT COMBOS
  • HORSES FOR COURSES
  • DISTANCE SPECIALISTS
  • BLUE CHIP TRAINER PLAYS
  • SHIP-IN TRAINERS
  • SHARP AND READY

    Normally only $5.00 per card or $10.00 for unlimited files/day, Insider Picks & Power Plays can be tried FREE for any 3 race dates in February. There's never been a better time to try this report. It's available in three different formats: Condensed, PDF, or Full Detail (which offers more detailed raw data). So, the next time you download your favorite Brisnet.com Past Performances, why not complement them with the unique Insider Picks & Power Plays. It may be the best bet you make all year!
