Consensus Available Files

Consensus brings you the collective wisdom of the Digest handicappers in a clean, 1‑2‑3 layout—no fluff, just straight-up insight. Each race shows the top three contenders based on point rankings (1st = 5 pts, 2nd = 2 pts, 3rd = 1 pt), with the top play clearly highlighted as the “Best Bet”

This isn’t a shot in the dark. The “Best Bet” win rate is strong—these picks may not always deliver massive payouts, but they cash consistently. Plus, you get tiered insight (2nd/3rd picks) that’s perfect for filling out Pick‑3s, Pick‑4s, or trifecta tickets

A Horse Racing Secret You Need To Know

When placing a bet on a horse race you aren't betting against the "house" or "track" instead the money goes into a pool for that wager type and whom ever picks the horse(s) that win get everybody else's money who bet in that same race and wager type.  The secret to being profitable betting on horse races is to have good quality "insider" information that the rest of the betting public does not have.

Betting on a horse because they have a silly name or pretty colors can be fun but please know that professional handicappers want you to bet on those horses because they are often times betting against you and know your horse can't win so they will win your money.

Since 1970, Today's Racing Digest has been dedicated to the survival of the race-goer.  Whether it's your first time or your a casual player, the Consensus can level the playing field giving you just as much of a chance to win as the professional.
