Eddie Wilson

Eddie Wilson began his handicapping career with the horses, picnicking from the infield at Santa Anita each Sunday afternoon with family and friends in the mid-1970's while attending junior high school in the San Gabriel Valley, minutes away from Santa Anita race track. He could often be seen carrying a Racing Form in his back pocket to classes and reading the "sheets" at lunch time. While wagering $2 show bets through his family, he graduated to win and place wagers and then dabbled in $5 exacta boxes while mentored by an old family friend. Two-dollar daily double plays were also a popular wager for him. "I guess you could say I was bitten by the bug at an early age," Wilson says. "My father and older brother fanned the flame too and we always had some sort of action each racing day, either through early bird or sneaking out to the track during the day to catch the nightcap. Had I put as much time and effort into my school work as I did reading the Racing Form, I may be on the Supreme Court bench now." Wilson got his start as a professional handicapper at the San Gabriel Valley Tribune in the late 1980s and continues his handicapping today with the SCNG newspaper group. A self-professed speed handicapper who also relies on trip and trouble notes, Wilson was the Santa Anita Fans Forum winner in 1991-1992, an annual contest that includes all public handicappers.

Roger was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and attended Rutgers University, where he received a B.A. in business and accounting, with 32 credits in the latter. When he was sixteen, a bit underage, he began frequenting the beautiful Garden State Race Track (1942-May 1, 2001) a quintessential racing facility which ultimately lost its wonderful life due to the influx of casinos at Atlantic City. Even at a young age, Roger showed an early proficiency for handicapping horses, poring over the then Morning Telegraph (analogous now to the Daily Racing Form). For over four decades, Roger has had the opportunity to tweak and ultimately perfect his stellar methods for handicapping horses. In 1973, while stationed in San Diego, Roger had the opportunity to watch Sham win the Santa Anita Derby under Laffit Pincay. The love for Santa Anita Park has persisted all these years. Now retired, Roger devotes his full time to profitable handicapping, focusing exclusively on the grand race facilities in California, especially Santa Anita- The Great Race Place.

Jerry

Jerry
Jerry has been a racing enthusiast since the 1977, the year of Seattle Slew. In my first three years of handicapping he had the good fortune to be greeted into our great sport by Seattle Slew, "Affirmed and Alydar" and then Spectacular Bid. What each of these marvels of the turf possessed was incredible speed. He noticed! Unlike most "pace" handicapper's who were devoted to figuring out the relative location each horse might assume in a race, Jerry was more interested in whether or not pace could yield information on form cycles and development. He also realized, that a good pace analysis could provide some terrific insights into "buried form" -- which often would lead to terrific win prices. Later on, in the late 1980's Jerry began to study form cycles using FINAL NUMBER products, and then handicapping on a daily basis with some of the icon's of handicapping in New York. In 1988, using his computer skills -- Jerry began to develop a systems analysis to create software for a past performance product one that would analyze each leg of the race, for every horse in our database. In 1992 this product was widely sold in New York, by the name of "Pace Power Plus". A daily racing product with both Pace and Final Numbers for each horse running. In 1997, Jerry left New York for Las Vegas, where he started the Jerry J's Power Page, which provides a single number to define "Current Form" -- synthesizing the best he has gleened from my deep studies on the cyclical patterns of Internal Speed figures and theories from his studies of Final Time speed figures...The Jerry J's Power Page has been widely distributed in Las Vegas and beyond for the past 18 years. Jerry also joins Ralph Siraco on "Race Day Las Vegas", each morning to talk horses and do some handicapping... You can visit my web-site at www.jerryjpowerpage.com for more information.
