Get real and get to work, or get left behind.

I was advised to buy the local newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. I always forget, but hopefully will remember to pick one up this year when I head down there

There is a lot of work that you can do on your own. Like, which trainers/jockeys are off to a fast start at the meet. Keep a daily log of any prevailing biases. 'Checkmark' which owner / trainer combos are winning together. Keep a log off the fastest finish times / fractions for each class level.
All of this information is obtainable at DRF, BRIS & Equibase - for FREE!

I then follow a similar pattern for trifectas and exactas. It gets expensive, but following this strategy for the whole meet netted me close to a million dollars, minus the cost of the tip sheets of course.

Why, is that a slight note of sarcasm I hear?

Tip sheets are suckers' plays. Stop asking about them.
MONEY gave some excellent advice in his post. I won't repeat it.
Personally, I think you should be focusing on school and girls and to hell with horse racing. However, since I didn't follow this advice myself...your best spent time would probably be to learn how to watch races. See what horses get in trouble, which horses were full of run but were blocked, who ran much better races than it appears on paper. That's something that not everyone is doing because it takes time and effort. Pick a track and try it. Come up with a list of horses you want to seriously consider betting the next time they run. See what you learn from that effort.

Well first off, I am WAY TO DIFFERENT than other kids at school. Second of all, my grades are all B’s so that is why you see my posts often at different times. I am retrying what people said to me and will play woodbine and Del Mar this weekend. Mark the magician is kind enough to send me his tip sheets when each day is done so I can do something with him for a school project. That’s it that’s all!
