Wet track betting on horses with mud caulks

My greatest education growing up came with a couple of relationships I developed a long time ago with handicappers that few knew but were considered the best around. Both individuals were horrible betters, but they could pick winners at huge prices.

The one I respected most was called "Red. Their relationship lasted many years until Red passed away in the mid-eighties. As a child I use to go to the track with my father and Red, but for some reason Red was not permitted into the racetrack.

He sat outside the gates near the rail at the top of the stretch. Before each race we would get his horses, speaking to him from between the barbed wire fences. Even though speed figures were only used by a handful of people at the time mid 60's, seventies and into the eighties , Red had an uncanny feel for pace and how it related to final time. He had his own set of charts and would do calculations.

He would then analyze a race using his instincts. There were no published statistics back then on trainers, pedigrees, etc. And Red did all the time. I also remember that the circle of people Red catered to were mostly lousy betters as well, so they did not maximize their profits, especially when exotic wagering came to the forefront as the choice bet of people. And then came my education with the great handicapper Manny Kalish. Kalish had a stable of some of the biggest betters in the country.

The "Fox" was the only one allowed to sit next to Kalish. With no more than 5 minutes to go in a race Kalish wanted to bet, the pick would be whispered to the "Fox," who would then leave and head up to the clubhouse floor where all the clients were waiting.

The "Fox" would eyeball the clientele making sure there was no one there who did not belong. The "Fox" would then release the play and everyone would rush to the windows. I always took up my position at a bench close by with the Racing Form in one hand and a program in the other waiting for the "Fox" to appear. Once the pick was released I would look for my father and in a very subtle way ask him who the pick was.

He would always tell me, not knowing I would rush down the stairs to find someone who would bet a few dollars on it for me, or, if I could, wager myself sometimes a teller would not ask me my age. Like "Red," Kalish would come up with some dandies. Unlike Red, I never really got to speak with Kalish in all those years, but from talking with several of his clientele, Kalish was an astute handicapper who placed great emphasis on what horses wore on their feet such as mud caulks and bend shoes.

This information is revealed at most racetracks now, but back then it was never announced. There was a shoe board by the paddock, but for the real information you would have to hook up with somebody who knew what horses were wearing when they came into the paddock.

Kalish was very conservative when it came to releasing his bets. On a typical card, he might have up to three action bets and maybe one, or at best two, "Prime" bets that were his best of the day. Most of these prime wagers came on the grass, or on wet tracks, where the type of shoes the horses wore played an important role. At the time, you could wear turndowns on the grass, which are shoes that act like cleats, giving horses better traction on the turf. Tracks have since banned these types of shoes on the turf because they tear up the grass and are dangerous due to how sharp the points are.

Kalish would key in on horses equipped with mud caulks on a wet track for the first time or turndowns on the grass. And many of these horses would run huge at big prices. Unlike today, when several trainers will use these types of shoes in a given race, it was not so prevalent back then. Because of Kalish's success, I've kept records of horses in New York who are wearing mud caulks or turndowns for the first time and when horses take them off.

To this day, it still proves to be a successful handicapping angle that I learned from the great Manny Kalish. Breeze: Working a horse at a moderate speed; less effort than handily. Bullet work: The best workout time for the distance on a given day at a track.
