Tracking Trips with 10 FIGS
Your second set of eyes in Horse Racing
Be a Better Bettor
From Jon:
Tracking Trips isn’t for the timid, the casual, or the crowd. It’s for the players who hunt. It’s for the ones who understand patience is a weapon and precision is the kill shot. I watch races the way a cobra watches the ground—silent, coiled, unblinking—waiting for that single moment when the edge reveals itself. No wasted motion. No noise. No guessing. When my strike comes, it’s lethal. Tracking Trips is selective, disciplined, and unapologetically exclusive. If you’re here to play around, this isn’t your service. If you’re here to win—and win big—you found your venom. If you’re looking for an ace, you’re in the right place!

More About TRACKING TRIPS:
Strike Less. Win More.
TRACKING TRIPS isn’t for action junkies.
It’s for players who wait, watch, and strike—like a cobra.
This is a selective, precision-based handicapping tool built on one of the most powerful and misunderstood edges in horse racing: the trip. Anyone can read fractions. Very few can read what actually happened in a race.
That’s where we live.
Professional handicapper Jonathan Stettin dissects races with a trained eye developed over decades. TRACKING TRIPS is like having a second set of expert eyes—eyes that see trouble, bias, hidden strength, false form, and vulnerability others miss. Four trained eyes beat two. Every time.
We identify horses that:
- Had troubled or compromised trips
- Ran with or against a true bias
- Were better or worse than they looked
- Should be upgraded or downgraded next time
Trips tell the truth. Charts and replays don’t lie.
This is quality over quantity.
Some days we pass. Some days we pounce.
How often doesn’t matter—because it only takes ONE.
The 10 FIGS Advantage
Every horse that makes our list receives an exclusive 10 FIG, a simple but powerful performance rating that accounts for trip, not just time.
- Figs range 1–10
- “+” = better than average or strong performance
- “–” = trouble, bias, or compromised trip
A 10+ is brilliance.
A 10– is massive hidden trouble.
A vulnerable favorite can be as valuable as a live longshot.
Clean. Intuitive. Deadly effective.
Horses to Watch and Horses to Fade
We also flag Horses to Watch—and just as importantly, horses to bet against. We break down pace, value, angles, and vulnerability so our MEMBERS are informed, not guessing.
TRACKING TRIPS is not a picks service.
Sometimes Jon shares his plays—but the goal is bigger than that.
We’re not here to hand you a fish.
We’re here to teach you how to spot one worth catching.
You’ll get reasoning, context, and thought process. No forced bets. No manufactured action. If we don’t like a card, we sit it out.
That discipline is the edge.
Where We Hunt
We focus on big meets, big days, and big pools, where inefficiencies still exist:
Saratoga, Keeneland, Belmont, Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita, Del Mar, Kentucky Downs—and wherever opportunity shows itself.
You never know where the next strike will come from.
Final Word
TRACKING TRIPS is exclusive, selective, and patient.
If you want constant action, this isn’t your club.
If you want an edge—
If you want discipline—
If you want to strike when it matters—
Welcome to the coil. 🐍
