The objective of this analysis is to identify harness racing horses via plus or minus scores that are not identifiable in the past performances. Horses whose races are accurately captured in the past performances are not captured here, regardless of how well or poorly they may have raced. Consider all races without comment as WUSIWUG ā an acronym for What U See (in past performances) Is What U Get.
Scores do not indicate must-bet or must-toss the next time they race as other handicapping factors come into play. But these scores give the bettor a huge edge in what is frequently the most important factor when making betting decisions and many scored horses have been coming in with generous payouts. While I have not advocated blindly playing all scored horses, the results have been saying that such a strategy is worth considering. When you see ālineupā in the comments, that means that horse followed another horse to the wire and there is no way to tell how much pace or trot it might have had if clear.
You cannot assume scored horses will race the following week. Here is the best way to profit from this analysis.
- Save scored horses in your virtual stables.
- On the day you are wagering on races, and see Freehold or Meadowlands in the past performances, go to https://harnesslink.com/tag/gil-winston/ This will open up the list of all articles. For horses that show lines that pique your interest, find the article that analyzes the races for that day, then search for the horses in question. If the horse has a positive score, you know the horse is better than the pp line shows. Click on other weeks that the horse raced if the most recent race does not complete the story for you. This will give you access to all analysis.

Meadowlands 8-30
*** Not a lot of movement during elimination races. The goal is to qualify for the big money finals the following week. The Meadowlands has a post position formula based on finish, but this observer finds the drivers need to qualify for the final overrides the need for a potentially advantageous post. Anticipate a lack of aggression to win races. Ā Serious handicappers frequently shy away from elimination races. ***
