Today's Racing Digest's Del Mar Analyst Win Picks Consistently Out Perform The Competition
In a study comparing horse racing win pick results from the handicappers at Today's Racing Digest and 4 other horse racing handicapping pick websites for the full 2023 Fall meet at Del Mar (November 10, 2023 - December 26, 2023) Today's Racing Digest continues to provide the most consistently profitable picks available.
Del Mar Picks That Provided The Highest Payouts
In the study, the top picks for each handicapper or tipster was used as a $2 win bet and then the payouts were used to offset the cost of the bets.
One interesting result of the profitability comparison is only one of the horse racing handicappers was able to show a profit for the full Del Mar horse racing meet. While we don't know the handicapping process of every tip sheet on this list we do suspect that most of them rely heavily on data to make predictions or they may be a only a couple handicapper trying to covering every track across the country. While Today's Racing Digest does leverage it's unique projected running lines and performance figures, they also rely heavily on their decades of experience handicapping Del Mar and other Southern California tracks. As a result, they have a thorough understand of how the track plays in different conditions and running styles, along with the unique training habits of the trainers and jockey combinations.
When looking at the chart below it is worth noting the average payout per win. If no handicapper is able to show a profit then it is worth noting the quality of wins they are getting. In other words, are they consistently picking the favorites or do they find more profitable horses to bet on.

You may notice that in some cases there are fewer picks listed from a handicapping service. The reason for this is either the pick(s) weren't available for that day or the horse(s) were scratched from the race and that pick was removed from the results. These results are accurate and none of the picks have been manipulated, changed or edited in anyway.
