Born in
Hawaii, Les spent ten years on the Hawaiian Islands before
moving to the mainland. He got his first taste of Thoroughbred
Racing at Hollywood Park as a youngster tagging along with
his parents. His first bet was made when he found one twenty-dollar
bill on the ground and promptly wagering all of it in the
following race. The horse won and his $20.00 was parlayed
into $250.00. From there on, he was hooked.
Quarter
horses always caught his eye with their size and true natural
speed. Learning the tools of this exciting sport isn't easy.
It consists of many long hours and tedious review, but it has
been well worth the time he has invested.
Les Onaka's
background consists of 25 years of quarter horse handicapping
and clocking and 12 years working with Los Alamitos. He has
given many handicapping seminars throughout California. These
years of experience allows his picks to be consistent finishers.
He analyzes each and every horse in every race. Checks and handicaps
each horse's consistency at the class level, speed indexes and
most importantly, can read the hidden trouble lines.
Les is the
only track handicapper that goes in-depth on every horse in
each race. He is an expert clocker, which gives him the big
edge over the betting public. His almost 16 hours of daily handicapping
provides you with the "Handicapper's Racing Report."
This report features morning workouts, horse in trouble, solid
selections and all notes and quotes are derived from careful
evaluation via videotape or replays of the night's races.
Rest assured
that this experience, knowledge of the sport of Quarter Horse
racing and skill has made even the rookie race fan's experience
an exciting one!
