The biggest thing you want to avoid is the biggest favorite. This is the horse that everyone and their brother thinks is a lock to win. These horses are normally way over-priced for the kind of performance you get and these are not normally the same horses that are favored to win the next race, simply because they disappoint out of the gate. Take a hard look at how other horses have been doing in the races leading up to the start of the Triple Crown and you'll have a better idea of who to go with. Another big key to making reliable Kentucky Derby predictions is to take a hard look at trainers, jockeys, and owners. You want experience and not someone running their first big race. It matters that these guys have been in the game before because they know what it takes to win. If you look at the breed and ancestry of the horse you will also have an idea of what their strengths and weaknesses are. These are the tricks that we look for, so hopefully you will have some success when handicapping horses on your own.
