¡¡¡¡If you are serious about succeeding at horse racing handicapping then you are probably working at it. Like any job, handicapping horse races is easier if you establish a routine and stick with it. Whether you are using a computer program, downloading programs off the internet, or even going to watch workouts, a systematic approach that includes a regular series of steps can help.

One of the first things I do before going over the races for the day is to get some physical exercise. A nice brisk walk seems to take the edge off any restlessness and also gets the blood flowing to those little gray cells. The next thing that I do is to unplug the phone and turn off my cell phone. I am that serious about concentrating on the races and not being interrupted. Horse racing handicapping is a tough intellectual sport and requires 100% of my time and effort.

Another part of my routine is setting aside the same time each day to work on the races. It is no different than going to any other job. With a set time to start, it feels like I am working at a job and lets my subconscious mind know that this is serious stuff. But though I am taking it seriously, I don't take it too seriously and I also give myself 15 minute breaks about every two hours.

The first thing I do after pouring a good strong cup of coffee and turning off the phone is to get online to check the workouts for the horse tracks I handicap. I also read the latest news about horse racing to keep my focus and pick up any tidbits of information I may have missed. I keep a data base of the workouts and, as any of you know who use True Handicapping, those workouts are the basis for spotting live horses and trainer moves.

My next step is to look at which of my horses that I am watching are running and to make notes about them and the races they are in. Each one of these steps is part of my routine and doing them each day has helped me to stay focused and to stay on top at horse racing handicapping.

The most consistent horse racing systems have to have the basics and a handicapper must understand the basics. I have been around horse racing for 50 years including as an owner. Without the basics the rest is not going to do any good. If you want to learn how a horse owner and insider handicaps just go to http://williewins.homestead.com/truecb.html and get the truth.
