From Steve Davidowitz’s ‘Masters of the Game — The Best Handicappers of All Time’ this:

Chapter 3 — Al Bozzi.  “Al Bozzi had a ‘gimmick’.  He realized it was very difficult to make a go of it at the track, and despite being an excellent handicapper, he realized that he needed something ‘extra’ to enjoy consistency at the races.”

‘So I knew that I needed some kind of gimmick that most track patrons were totally unaware of,’ Al tells us.  ‘Fortunately our group of three, which has been together since the early 1950s, had come up with several under the radar factors that often led to a big payday.  I first introduced the compilation of these factors in my book Bucks & Deuces and found a way to filter these Power factors into just two, and the result of that streamlining became the selection basis for my Pot Of Gold.’

‘Al literally became a legend at Suffolk Downs in its heyday, a track that I cut my handicapping teeth on, and often partnering with Andy Beyer there, we knew that Al Bozzi was one of a kind.  His history is checkered to say the least, as he ran ‘the wire’ (past posting) many times, found a way to duplicate mutuel tickets, etc., but he left that all behind when he hit on his ‘gimmick(s)’.  So if you get a chance to digest any of Al Bozzi’s work, you are in for a treat.’

Al Bozzi developed an absolutely amazing methodology that involved very little handicapping — but required watching the Tote.

Nowadays, with so much money coming in after the horses break from the gate and the odds fluctuate wildly, the method became less effective.

👉👉But leave it to our programmer, Len Cz, to ‘adapt’ this method to a workable, solid, high % win/place/show software program.

In the original book, Len found many concepts and hints that enabled him to employ the bulk of the original system and then using past odds to overcome the tote-watching aspect.

And, it works even better than the original!

Strong, Strong Consistency.  Single qualifiers win close to 42% of the time and hit the board over 81% of the time,  A real Goodie!
