The Key Race:
A Powerhouse Tool for the Thoroughbred Handicapper
a book by Bob Pitlak

Phillips Racing Newsletter TOP TEN for 2011 !

This book is tightly focused on just one handicapping subject, the Key Race. A "Key Race" is generally defined as a race from which two or more horses have gone on to win their next races. The idea here is that if two or more horses from this race have gone on to win their next, then the race was unusually competitive. Doesn't it follow then, that many other horses in the race probably ran better than it may appear at first?

A nice idea, but can it produce winning wagers? That's the subject addressed by this book. The book begins by illustrating a few Key Races, but goes on to document real results using this handicapping tool. Finally, it shows you how to identify horses coming from key races and how to use this knowledge to improve your handicapping results.

Here's an example. The Cognac Kid ran 5th in the 3rd at Monmouth on 9/12/09. Five other horses from that race went on to win their next. Cognac Kid didn't run again until the 6th at Monmouth on 5/31/10. However, he not only won that race, but paid a WHOPPING $210.20! The book also includes a 4 month workout at Philadelphia that showed more than 30% winners and a return of $8 profit for every $10 wagered!
