(14) Are the ratings the horses get for turf races taken from their turf races? A: Yes, the rating that the horses receive is for his races on todays Scheduled racing surface which is assumed to be a fast or firm dirt or Turf race course. (15) If a race that has been scheduled for the turf has been taken OFF the Turf, should I now consider this race unplayable because your ratings were for the turf? A: If there is a change in distance or surface then I would pass the race. We at WilliesPicks are working to upgrade our system so that our clients will have the option to receive off surface selections also. (16) The favorite of the race was not selected in the top 4 picks, as a matter of fact he was selected next to last yet the horse won the race. A: A number of reasons could account for this (1) horse may be coming a extended layoff, (2) may have been racing overseas (3) horse may have broken maiden in sharp fashion but does not have the data in his past performances to suggest he can compete with seasoned horses. We at willies recommend that our members take a close look any horse that is favored or any has real low speed rating or performance numbers. (17) When you suggest that only top four picks at 5 to 1 or better should be made, do you mean higher than 5 to 1 or lower than 5 to 1? A: The answer to this question is: any of the top 4 selections after scratches that has odds of 5 to 1 or higher can be considered for a win bet only we do not suggest that you play any of the exotic bets. (18) Why do some horses in Willie`s Picks Reports have Beyer number of zero or 10 while others do not? A: This horse may be making his 1st U.S. start, or a Maiden first time starter (FTS), or it could be that has never on todays racing surface. However these horses can be very dangerous especially if there only one or two in the race, sometime they hit the winners circle at hugh odds (19) If I forget my password what do I do?
