Gil Winston’s Freehold and Big M notes

The objective of this analysis is to identify 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 well 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 these scores give the bettor a huge edge in what is frequently the most important factor when making betting decisions and many flagged horses have been coming in with generous payouts in their next races. Please note that horses that ship in are not tracked in the Meadowlands/Freehold analysis and win many races.

You can back-reference this data on the Harnesslink site. Merely click on my name on this article, and see all of previous articles.  This is critical for many reasons. Horses not racing every week is the most obvious, but you may have a reason to disregard a horse’s most recent effort (off track, driver change, breaks, etc.) and want to see if a horse was previously flagged,

You may want to track flagged horses shipping to other tracks. We may or may not capture them in the following winner’s list.

This week’s winners that were identified in previous analyses:

• Yonkers 1/31 Race 12 WESTERN JOE $ 3.50 Flagged last start at M’lands
