Do you restrict your turf plays to the set of 7+ point horses? And THEN apply handicapping to that set? How do you decide if a contender is worth a bet? (I assume this procedure would apply to all impact value analysis plays).
No. Turf points are just one of several handicapping factors I use. The handicapping answer for any race lies in a more comprehensive approach than just a single factor. Speed should obviously be part of the equation as well, as should pace and trainer. There can be others.
Having watched the initial 3 episodes of Horse Racing Live, I found them all interesting and thought-provoking. Dave Schwartz gives excellent presentations

Turf points are just too good to leave out.

Great show tonight Dave. These get better every week which seems impossible but you do it. Looking forward to the next one after the Saratoga break!

John, it is my life’s ambition to make you a winner.
Seriously, small incremental improvements are what it takes.
