When I adopted the Monster Move method as my mainstay, I immediately changed my process of doing things–and doubled my work. Rather than examine each card, race by race, I now search the cards of all potential tracks to identify possible movers for the day.
Once that is done, I go back and handicap each race. Sometimes it's almost a no-brainer. Today, in Monmouth's sixth PJ Hooker was an outstanding mover. After a five-month layoff, PJ returned to racing at five-furlongs on the turf--the move race. The horse is trained by Joe Orseno, who boasts a remarkable 27% record with moving horses from turf to
dirt, and a respectable win percentage when hoisting capable jock Gabriel Saez on a horse. Good figs at both distance and the track.
I was so impressed that I wagered across the board before the second at Monmouth Park even ran. There was just one puzzle. For the life of me, I couldn't figure how PJ was going to beat Rockstar Royalty no matter how I tried.
As the race drew near, I increased my PJ wager to include doubles with the 5th and 7th. The 'move' said the horse was a go, regardless of my tiny misgivings. PJ pulled away from RockStar in the stretch to win and pay on all bets.
Guess, having faith is reason enough.
