Well drawn, handy racing horses for me!

I look at the horses "Pace Type" and only consider those that either sit on the pace (not usually a leader) or those that race just off the pace, the rest I can not trust.
Leaders, often weaken and anything further back than mid field have to rely on things other than ability to go their way.
I prefer horses that make their own "luck"...
Then, it's price is next most important... usually nothing under $3
