At one time long ago I was tight with the Ralph Politano barn at Rockingham Park. I learned to read the racing form from his brother who befriended myself and my girlfriend. Several races were viewed by us as I was instructed what to look for and make some notes. Specifically during the race looking at the horse who may have been a contender "reaching out" and when a charge stops reaching out. I never forgot what to look for and what lessons I got out of sitting with these people in the clubhouse.
