At ABC Handicapping, our mission is to simplify the process for picking winners

so that everyone (beginners and experts alike) can participate in this wonderful sport.

The modern handicapping process is broken. It's too complex for the new player.

Don't believe it? Ask a complete beginner to horse racing to read the DRF and

immediately start betting horses based on what they've read. 

The DRF is a phenomenal newspaper, but it caters only to the players who have years of

experience betting the horses. There is no "beginner approach" or "simplified handicapping" 

angle for newish players (or those who just want to have fun wagering without

acquiring a migraine from trying to discern every bit of information on the page).

 

Because of the complexity involved in modern handicapping, our audience is

dwindling. Each year, fewer and fewer new players join our ranks which is

a major cause for concern in our industry.

ABC Handicapping provides a streamlined handicapping process using the most

essential elements in picking winners: early speed, late speed and overall

performance. For those that want additional handicapping elements to consider,

we show: layoff time, class moves and distance switching.

Those are the only elements we focus on because they work.

While our track sheets make it easy for a beginner to start betting the horses

with no more than 5 or 10 minutes of reading, expert players will

appreciate our pace figures as they can't be found anywhere else.

Our proprietary formulas have been in the making since 1994!

That's over 30 years of writing and analyzing code and manually building databases.

Nobody on the planet has what we have. Nobody.

The basics of ABC Handicapping:

  • A1 = fastest early pace horse
  • A2 = second fastest early pace horse
  • B1 = fastest late pace horse
  • B2 = second fastest late pace horse
  • C1 = best overall performance 
  • C2 = second best overall performance

C1 & C2 horses combined win approx. 40% of all races

C1, C2, C3 and C4 horses combined win approx. 70% of all races

A1 and A2 horses often win despite having low C ratings

B1 and B2 horses are often surprise long shots that win from off the pace in races that went too fast, too early

A1 and A2 horses win more sprints than routes

B1 and B2 horses win more routes than sprints

ABC Handicapping Common Scenarios

Horse racing is a game of maybes. It is not an exact science by any means. 

However, you will see common scenarios repeat themselves over and over,

and the fact the favorite loses approximately 70% of all races makes for an

easy-to-spot scenario that plays out multiple times a day at every race track:
