The DAILY Southern California Horses To Watch
The SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HORSES TO WATCH has gone through many
positive changes over the last decade as they approach their 10th
year of publishing with the opening of Del Mar 2002. But through their
metamorphosis, everything before 06/5/02 seems to pale in
comparison to them taking their final step into the new-age with the
delivery of their first on-line DAILY SCHTW.
They’ve always been light years in front of their competition and
continue to set the pace in the handicapping world with their
innovative and always informative SCHTW.
When handicappers couldn’t get barshoe information any longer
because all the shoeboards had disappeared at the 3 major ovals in
Southern California (Del Mar, Santa Anita and Hollywood Park), the
SCHTW picked up the ball!
Every other publication refused to get their hands dirty and
actually do the daily gruntwork of looking at every single horse
in every single race to offer their readers this absolutely
essential betting information!
To this very day the SCHTW remains the only source of
barshoe information for the entire major Southern California racing
circuit. And with the delivery of their first DAILY SCHTW on
Wednesday 06/05/02, they are still improving their product
every day to increase the benefits to their readers. In fact, in
the barshoe bad feet category, the DAILY SCHTW now
includes all horses running in ¾ shoes, square toed shoes, or
with patched ¼ cracks, as well as those in barshoes and/or covered
frogs.
The reason they’ve flourished over the past 10 years against the
giants in this industry is because the staff of the SCHTW
personally generates every single bit of information
contained in their reports all by themselves!
Their daily reporting is proprietary in every sense of the
word and totally unduplicated in the handicapping world. There is
never any 2nd hand bits of inside information offered to their
readership and there never will be!
The new on-line DAILY SCHTW now includes the following
income-producing one-of-a-kind categories:
1--RUNNING PROFILES
This area informs all SCHTW clients of exactly what running
style is winning at every specific dirt or turf distance.
Are wire-to-wire horses dominating at a mile on the dirt or is it
mid-pack runners? There isn’t any guesswork with the new DAILY
SCHTW, as all turf and dirt distances are updated daily and are
up-to-the minute.
2--THE MASTER NO-NO LIST
This never duplicated list is the best instant throwout
companion in the entire handicapping world. It contains close to 1000
problematic horses currently running on the major Southern
California circuit that you can toss out from a win standpoint with
utmost confidence! Included in the Master No-No List are all horses
running with barshoes, covered frogs, ¾ shoes, square toed shoes,
stops blowouts, martingales, run-out bits, or are current
members of their unique and now infamous SCHTW vetlist.
3--THE SPECIAL 7 CATEGORIES
These special categories are listed daily for some specific horses
and are taken from the private notes of the SCHTW staff. They include
the following headings:
1---HORSES ON THE UPGRADE
2---STRONG MAIDEN PERFORMANCES
3---STIFFS
4---HORSES IN A TAILSPIN
5---IMPORTED TURF NEWCOMERS
6---NEXT OUT BOUNCERS
7---HORSES RETURNING FROM A 90 DAY OR MORE LAYOFF
4--TRACK-SPECIFIC BREEDING (NEW FEATURE)
The new DAILY SCHTW is the only publication in the world that
offers track-specific breeding for every single runner
in every single race. Winning sire grandsire and
damsire ratings for both the turf and the are
offered separately by track for Del Mar, Santa Anita and
Hollywood. Universal sire ratings that include all tracks across
America fail to tell handicappers if a specific sire, grandsire
or damsire has actually produced winners over the track and the
surface they are wagering on at the moment! What works in New
York, Kentucky or Florida rarely works on the major circuit in
Southern California!
5--TURF RAIL POSITION LAST OUT (NEW FEATURE)
This crucial information is listed for every last out
turf runner. Was the rail at 10 feet out, 15 feet out, 20 feet out or
30 feet out? If it was anything but at zero, a horse’s last out
performance has to be adjusted to reflect this situation! For every
path a horse is removed from the rail on either turn, it’s been
mathematically proven that he loses a length. If the rails are out 30
feet, that is about 5 full paths. Even if a horse runs flush against
the rail in a 2-turn turf route when the rails are out 30 feet, he
loses 4 lengths on each turn vs. running against the rail when at
zero feet. If the rails are out 30 feet, that comes to 8 total
lengths and thus you can see the need for adjustments when comparing
various last out good or bad performances! This info is now at your
fingertips for every turf race!
6--PADDOCK PHYSICALITY NOTES LAST OUT (NEW FEATURE)
Directly taken from SCHTW staff member’s personal paddock
notes, you’ll know if a horse was walking short with poor extension,
had enlarged front ankles, was too thin, lacked muscle
definition, was fractious, walked wide, stood wide going
under tack, had poor color, lacked energy walking with his
head low and bobbing, was sore, outright lame, had
liniment plastered somewhere on his body, pinned his ears,
sported a very negative east/west tail, was washy, had front
leg sweat, dripping kidney sweat, iced fronts, diarrhea,
or any other negative attributes that contributes to defeat!
7---PRE-RACE WARM-UP NOTES (NEW FEATURE)
In order for any horse or athlete to perform to their
maximum abilities, oxygen-delivering red blood cells must be brought
up from the spleen. Without them, the runner is nothing more than an
also-ran! If you doubt this for one second, just ask any veterinarian
or doctor! The DAILY SCHTW now offers the serious handicapper
exacting warm-up notes that include not only strong pre-race
exercise that indicates the barn was sending, but also
trot-only or walked horses. These warm-ups or non-warm ups
explain both good and bad performances. Was the chalk just
stiffed @ 6-5 because he didn’t get a proper warm-up. With the
addition of this new and totally exclusive DAILY SCHTW
feature, you’ll never have to guess again!
8--GATE NOTES LAST RACE (NEW FEATURE)
There are many extremely negative things that occur in the final 1
to 2 minutes leading up to the actual loading of the horses into the
starting gate. This is in addition to problems at the starting gate
itself! These occurrences can be difference between winning and
losing. The new DAILY SCHTW now informs readers of starting gate
problems that include things like refused gate, forcibly
loaded, excessive wetness or washiness, sudden fractiousness
once a horse realizes it is showtime, thrown jockeys indicating
a horse didn’t want to race, horses prematurely breaking thru the
gate both held and runaways and many other nuances.
9--POST RACE GALLOP-OUTS FOR ALL HORSES (NEW FEATURE)
Horses pulled up too quickly once crossing the finish
line (regardless of actual finish position) are most likely to develop
muscle soreness soon after cooled out. This soreness could last
right up until and including their next start! The critical
3 or 4 minutes of a post-race warm-down after any strenuous effort
is just as important as the pre-race warm-up. Horses should be
lightly galloped out to the backstretch, turned around and lightly
galloped back to the unsaddling area. This slow post-race warm-down
gradually takes a horse from maximum output to the needed relaxation
state just as the pre-race warm-up takes him from relaxation to
readiness for maximum output. They are different sides of the
same coin. All horses pulled up within 150 yards in the post-race
are now noted as QUICK or POOR PULL-UPS!
10--OVERALL POST RACE EVALUATION NUMBER LAST OUT
Just as we offer overall physicality numbers from the paddock before
the running of a race and the actual pre-race warm-up numbers, so
too do we offer our SCHTW readers overall post-race evaluation
numbers to complete the entire picture of any specific horse
on any given day.
11--MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES LAST RACE (NEW FEATURE)
Changes of any kind can often be the difference between
winning and losing for any horse. The DAILY SCHTW has created this
new feature to remind you of such changes. In the past
performances, have you ever missed things like 1st wraps,
wraps off, gelded, blinkers on or off, 1st lasix, got claimed,
raced without a whip, etc. We all have at one time or another, but
now it will be virtually impossible for you to miss these basic
but often crucial changes, as they are listed as your final
failsafe when handicapping.
As a means of introducing the new DAILY SCHTW to the handicapping
world, the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HORSES TO WATCH is offering you a
free and current DAILY SCHTW sample along with an updated
User’s Guide.
Why not take a look at what your daily handicapping could be missing
that might be the difference between a winning and a losing day?
Seeing is believing and the proof is always in the pudding!
