pedigree handicapping - 2005/07/04 00:35 What is the opinion of everyone here about using the pedigree angle handicapping style? I still use this for triple crown handicapping.

pedigree handicapping - 2005/07/07 20:34 I had the great honor of working for years with Leon Rasmussen, the internationally renowed pedigree expert. Not only was Leon a great guy and a major player, but he bet a ton on Ferdinand to the win Kentucky Derby just on the pedigree angle and what his good friends Charlie Whittingham and Shoemaker told him to do. I had such great respect for Leon and I regret to this day that I didn't learn as much from him as I could have. Pedigree is a major factor in grass racing and with youngsters but sometimes 10 million dollar purchases just can't run. You can never learn enough about pedigrees and breeding and it is a constant work in progress. To disregard the pedigree angle, and I know some players that really stick their nose up at pedigree pundits, is a crucial misjudgment.

pedigree handicapping - 2005/07/07 21:59 I beleive that Lauren Stitch has written a new book about this. She seems to be quite succesful using breeding in her handicapping.

pedigree handicapping - 2005/07/15 15:43 It's a great angle on the turf. Especially at Colonial Downs or where you have maidens trying the grass for the first time. Yea, I remember when I tried grass for the first time...oh, different subject.

Anyway, a lot of times you see horses do miserably and then they move them to the turf. If you can remember a dozen great sires, your cash'n.

pedigree handicapping - 2005/07/16 19:07 The bottom side has a bit to do with it too, I think. If you can isolate some grass breeding from the dam, either herself or through her offspring, it can pay some dividends.

pedigree handicapping - 2005/12/02 20:13 Off the top of my head, I can't think of a perfect pedigree book but maybe you can do your own research. Sire lists from the Blood Horse are revised daily, race record of these sires note if they excelled on grass and I think a service called equineline has solid pedigree stats. Check it out, good luck.
