Class vs. Speed vs. Pace Handicapping

What factors do you use to handicap a race?

I can tell you what NOT to do from repeated personal experiences.  Don’t be loyal to a particular sire or jurisdiction when handicapping a race.  Throw those out.  I love Captaintreacherous and blinded by loyalty.  Or I want to see the Ohio breds do well on a national stage and would over bet them.  You have to be cold and ruthless.

There is a reason Burke wins so much.  He puts his horses where they will compete.  So I guess Class is my first thing.

Speed is variable by track conditions, which seem to be more inconsistent based on lessons learned from A Mac.

And trying to analyze what 8-10 drivers are going to do is too much for my brain.  Class hoses who hit the board consistently get my attention. 

No idea on what the best strategy is on the type of betting.  That is a whole other topic.
