How to read our Picks

For those who are new to Horse Racing handicapping, what you'll find for each race is a line of four numbers informing you which number of horses for that race we have Picked to come first, i.e. if Race 1 said 3-6-8-2 then we are saying Horse 3 will win with our next choices for the win being horses 6 then 8 then 2 in that order.

Who makes the Picks?

Picks come our turf-man (J.N.), our Operations Officer (Mick), our Editor (Neil), and occasionally our UK editor (Paul) when stepping in for vacation cover. All of their Picks are clearly labeled each day.

Our in-house handicapper and turf-man will also provide analysis for their selections in written columns.
