Learn how to read races with greater clarity, identify value the public misses, and make smarter betting decisions over time.
With more than three decades of experience studying Saratoga Race Course, Genaro Di Luigi brings a rare combination of racing knowledge, disciplined analysis, and real-world strategic thinking to the sport of handicapping.
His approach goes beyond conventional race reading. By combining long-term observation, statistical research, and a deep understanding of Saratoga’s unique betting environment, he helps readers see the track with greater clarity and purpose.
From post-position bias and trainer patterns to pace interpretation and value detection, Genaro’s work is rooted in one principle: successful handicapping is built on process, not impulse.
It’s a serious guide for players who want to approach racing with clarity, structure, and discipline. It explores the anatomy of the Saratoga meet through the lenses of post position, pace, trainer and jockey patterns, betting environment, and value-oriented decision making.
At the center of the book is the ASF system, a practical methodology designed to help readers move beyond surface level handicapping and assess horses in their full racing context. Along the way, the book also captures the culture and tradition of Saratoga, blending statistical insight with personal experience, racing history, and the emotional pull that makes the Spa unlike any other venue.
