I’ve always been a pen and paper kind of handicapper, and that’s the foundation of this site. Think of it as a tool designed to help you build smarter betting strategies for any race you want to examine.

Here’s how it works: I start by reviewing the past performances and then drop that information into the custom code I’ve built. The system processes a wide range of key factors track bias, jockey/trainer win percentages, workout patterns, pedigree, form cycles, and in return, my system will highlight the most probable winners.

The analysis isn’t just about pointing to horses; it’s about providing context to a handicapper. Pay close attention to the verbiage in the analysis my system generates, because it often reveals where overlays and underlays may exist. Spotting those value opportunities is what ultimately impacts your return on your betting strategy.

This project is fueled by my love for horse racing and the tight-knit community of handicappers who share that same passion. My competitive nature and drive to solve challenges inspired me to build this site, and I’m committed to constantly improving it.

Your feedback matters. Whether it’s thoughts, insights, or critiques, I welcome it all, because continuous improvement applies not just to handicapping, but to everyday life.

How to Use the Site

Head over to Handicapping Picks. Take your past performance file (PPs) from providers like DRF, Brisnet, or Equibase. Some sites occasionally offer free downloads, but most full race cards run about $3 which is just part of the game we play. Copy and paste one race at a time into the box, making sure to update for scratches and track/weather changes. Then click Analyze and let the algorithm go to work producing a customized betting strategy. Good luck and cheers to all!
