What is handicapping?

The process of using available information to identify and find a winning horse is called handicapping. Those who master this process are called handicappers. These are two words you will hear used very often at the racetrack and betting windows.

Handicapping requires an ability to analyze data found in what are known as the past performances. The past performances give you a complete picture of a horse’s career. Once you learn how to read the past performances you’ll have a better idea of the chances of any given horse in a race. Handicapping can tell you if the horse is fast enough to outrun its rivals, whether or not it is racing in an appropriate race for its skill level, and even reveal any possible physical problems the horse may have.

To be a good handicapper also requires a good deal of intuition. You can also use the data provided in the past performances to envision how a particular race will be run. You’ll be able to anticipate which horses will be on or near the lead and which horses will come from behind.
