Santa Anita Park: Oct 27

One of my better betting days at Santa Anita.  Once again, I skipped the daily doubles.  No more doing that.  I also started to do my own handicapping and kept a very close eye on the horses beforehand.  For some reason I'm starting to feel like I can tell if a horse is nervous -- probably isn't true.  As for handicapping, I'd try to cut the field down to 3 or 4 horses.  And then I'd go for the remaining horse with the worst odds to come in place or show -- yep, gone conservative.  My best bet was in the 6th race when I went with #8 who had odds of around 21:1.  The horse just sneaked in to get show.

We'll see if I can keep winning using this method of self-handicapping and watching the horses closely before the race.
