History of Trainer Profiles
In the mid to late 1980’s, after continuously loosing money betting
the same favorites as everybody else, I was determined to try and find the
magic number ( for lack of a better term) for picking more profitable winners.
After tirelessly reviewing literally thousands and thousands of result sheets,
I never did find that magic number, but, what I did find was THE TRAINER.
I found
that most of them had predictable winning patterns. They believed what worked
before will work again. Also, when they aren’t winning, they would develop
new patterns in order to get back to their winning ways. For the most part,
the majority of these patterns were not known by the general public at this
time. In fact, I found a number of trainer patterns that contradicted many
of the prevailing handicapping guidelines at the time. I started manually
compiling these patterns in to a listing of profiles by trainer
and date, and then began using them in conjunction with my personal handicapping
method. WE STILL COMPILE THE PROFILES MANUALLY, EVEN TODAY.
It wasn’t long before I began to show a positive ROI. It had been a
while. Handicapping was fun again. Soon my friends and people I met at the
OTB site began asking me if I would sell them a copy. Thus began CALIFORNIA
PROFILES, the forerunner to Thoroughbred Trainer Profiles.
I began selling locally and then started a subscription service for Southern
California and eventually Northern California. At the time, the 1990’s,
Jeff Goldstein’s The Goldstein Report
(winning trainer/ jockey combinations) and California
Profiles were the only sources
in the country for current trainer information. The racing
periodicals at the time only provided trainers win percentages and books supplying
trainer information were published after a meet was completed, usually a year
later.
The information we provide is found in a variety of sources
including news print, magazine print, the Internet, and televised media, but
you would have to spend long hours researching and compiling it to be able
to use it to your advantage. Keeping up with these training patterns requires
constant monitoring. That’s what we do. We do the tedious research and
monitoring, so you can reap the benefits. The Thoroughbred Trainer and Maiden
Profile Reports are comprehensive reports that detail each winning trainer
and his/her patterns. The reports are updated within one to two days of a
race, so you’re getting current information. To understand the importance
of having access to current data, you need to be aware most trainers not only
develop long-term patterns, but also seasonal and short-term patterns. The
information must be current to use it to your advantage.
Additionally, we let you know when a trainer has dropped
horses below their claiming price, changed workout regiments before wins,
and had success shipping horses in from other race tracks. AND we will alert
you to specific trainer patterns and changes so you don’t have to dig
for the information. To ensure your success using the Thoroughbred Trainer
Profiles, we are constantly updating the profile and comment information we
provide. Your success is our success!!
