Hi Racing Fans, this is "Sprint" Rogers of the Professional Handicappers Association. Thank you for dropping by our site. I would like you to do me a favor and that is to allow me the next few minutes of your time so that I may tell you a little about myself, so that you will be able to believe what I'm going to tell you.

As I mentioned, my name is "Sprint" Rogers and my credentials in the handicapping business are very extensive (since 1975). How I got involved in handicapping horses is by working day in and day out on researching the sport. In fact, I spent eleven years of researching horses. I bought everything I could possibly get my hands on that was in print about playing the horses. What was unique about my work is that it was only a hobby, you see I never had been to a racetrack before my study and I never went to a racetrack during my entire eleven years of work. I just had an inquisitive mind and I guess I just wanted to find out if it was possible to win. My curiosity was rewarded because for the next five years my wife Cathy who is also my business Associate and I lived a wonderful and exciting life playing the horses in Florida. Boy, was that the life back then.

Well, to make a long story short, after 5 years we found that we wanted to do more with our lives then just play the horses. We decided because we both enjoyed people and travelling to teach our findings to other racing fans throughout the country. So in 1975 we founded the Professional Handicappers Association and for the next 18 years, we travelled the country teaching folks from all walks of life how to play the horses intelligently.

We have written books, produced videos and developed handicapping programs. We taught pace, class, speed, distance. We looked at early speed, closing speed, daily variants, workouts and breeding. Believe me, we used it all. We even have our own download service for our computer program which analyzes many of the above handicapping factors including the conditions of the animal and the conditions of the races. We did it all and found out one very important thing, and that is that there was never any one factor or point of referral that picked consistent winners. Everything won sometimes, but no one thing won enough.

Pace didn't win often enough by itself, overlays didn't work, speed and class both won some times, jockeys and trainers by themselves was nothing also. We eventually won consistently because we combined many factors into a race. We developed our own pace lines, our own speed ratings and class ratings as well as power ratings.We even developed our own power workout ratings. But we didn't stop there. During our 18 years of teaching seminars and in the four years since we looked long and hard at our competition. We looked at the works of Sartin, Quirin, Beyers, Quinn, Trackmaster, Thorograph, Bloodstock Research and more.

The reason I'm telling you all of this is so that you totally understand that we have been there and done that. I want you to understand that I know what you are thinking. Remember, Cathy and I have lectured to tens of thousands of racing fans and at last count our mailing list had exceeded 40,000. We know all about the beliefs and disbeliefs of true racing fans.

We have spent weekends at the track playing with everyone that we have ever taught. Believe me when I tell you that I know that it is going to be hard for you to believe what I am going to tell you next. But please take the time to read all the information that is available about membership to the Professional Handicappers Association and I can assure you that we will change the way that you approach this great sport forever.

Thanks for your valuable time. We hope that we can be of service to you in the near future.

Good Luck and Good Handicapping,

"Sprint" and Cathy Rogers
