Gil Winston: Meadowlands and Freehold analysis

The objective of this analysis is to identify harness racing horses with plus or minus evaluations that are not identifiable in the racing program. Horses whose performances are accurately captured in the past performances are not captured here, regardless of how good or poorly they may have raced.

These scores do not indicate must bet or must toss the next time they race because other handicapping factors will come in to play. But it does give the bettor a huge edge in what is frequently the most important factor when making betting decisions.

We recommend saving this data as other factors may cause a horse to have one or more issues (e.g., interference, layoffs, breaks, off track, driver change) and you will want to go back to the last line that appeared clean on the program.

However, the flagged horses have been coming in with generous payouts. Please note that horses that ship in are not tracked in the Meadowlands/Freehold analysis and win many races, but horses that ship between M1 and Freehold have produced some of the bigger payouts.

You may want to track flagged horses shipping to other tracks. In addition, horses do not race every week, so you need to keep track of older editions.
