I read a lot, watch a lot of races.jockeys and trainers aren't the whole game but they are big factors in handicapping. some of these tracks I rarely play. but when I see something I jump in .. lets start with the jockeys , some of these fly under the radar.
Antonio Gallardo, has won the recently finished tampa meet, won last yrs Presque isle meet. right now he 4-0-0-2 ,riding at thistledown. have no fear.. Presque isle opens on the 17th. I would expect him there.
flavien prat .. on fire at the april til june meet at santa anita 43- 11-9-2 .. hes in the 5th and 9th today..
david Charles lopez, is quite a story, he was 0-14 at Monmouth last summer, 0-39 at Indiana grand. since moving to the turf paradise,golden gate circuit hes 264-57-43-41,and since fri he is 13-4-1-4. and I cant find him today ... help

keep a eye out for these alex cintron injured badly in nov, back in business at pimlico and probably Delaware park next week. hes in the 5th and 7th today.. angel rodriguez leads the penn national colony by many, has a 3-2-0 record at pimlico meet, he rides in the 4th ,7th and 9th today. with mcarthy and Juarez off to monmouth he may do ok..? dan centeno always a decent rider, has done ok since tampa ended, hes 10-4-1-3 at pimlico, and started Monmouth sat 7-2-0-0, he was 2 for 19 entire Monmouth meet last yr.
angel cruz, the bug in ny was money at aqueduct all winter, still winning at Belmont but not as much with the big guns in town. could be value now. rides 6 today ,and 2 at parx Monday.
