FORMAT NOTES: LS = Live Longshot, BAL = Bombs Away Longshot, SL = Sharp List.  This means the horse was on my personal list of horses to watch. SP = System Play (this is based on a simple system that is in my Trotpicks Book. It is not a complete handicapping method (although there is one in the book). SP is just a simple set of rules that makes any play much stronger. I tested it on this site.
