A Pair of Workouts

Just a brief note to pass along a pair of links:

Night School, the racing industry's official online fan education program, had "Handicapping the Workouts" as its course topic this past Tuesday (Week 13).  A video replay is available online at the previous link, while this link will bring you to the free study materials for the lesson.

Meanwhile, for those who are interested in workouts from the trainer's perspective, this article by Marcus Hersh, posted at DRF.com in April, is an excellent tutorial in understanding just what is going on at the track during the seeming chaos that is the morning workout session.  While the article uses the Kentucky Derby as  its backdrop, the information contained therein is applicable year-round.  Well worth the read.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
