      Thursday's List of 13:
      13) Last Englishman to win the British Open? Faldo in '92.

      12) Trent Dilfer is honoring former 49er QB John Brodie by wearing his retired #12, with Brodie's approval, this season.

      11) Devil Rays are cheating their fans; time to move Lugo to second, Cantu to first, and bring Zobrist and Upton up to play short and third. If they're going to be awful, they might as well be awful with young, athletic players. Trading Huff and not bringing the kids up is just another slap in face to whatever fans they have left.

      10) Alex Rodriguez is struggling, for sure, but doesn't Derek Jeter deserve some blame for not budging from shortstop to allow the better shortstop to play there? Wouldn't Bronx be a better team if Rodriguez was at short and Jeter at 1st base? Then they could buy a third sacker and be better club, but it is blasphemy to even suggest Jeter is territorial or selfish.

      9) Barry Zito has thrown 213+ innings in each of last 5 years; he never gets hurt, but with so much wear on his tires, it is buyer beware to whatever team scumweasel Boras rips off for his services this winter.

      8) When the Braves scored 65 runs in five games, it was most any team had scored in five-game span since Red Sox scored 66 runs in five games.

      In 1950.

      7) Tigers' win Wednesday was pretty big, since it is only the second time in eight games Detroit beat the Pale Hose in '06.

      6) Alfonso Soriano actually turned down $50 million for five years from Washington last winter. How can someone say no to that much money? I'd be afraid a ladder would fall on my head or something, and I'd get left holding the bag.

      5) Brad Johnson is set to earn $1.2M this year, by far the least of any starting QB in NFL. He's won a Super Bowl, Johnson has. Minnesota should do right thing and give him a raise.

      4) Royals held Boston to one run in Fenway two games in a row, and lost both games. Buddy Bell must be wondering what he did to deserve this fate.

      3) Dodgers have been awful on road of late.

      2) There has to be more to this story, but the guy that was the Islanders' backup goalie last year, and whose salary as a player will count against their cap for two more years, is now the general manager? There is no truth to rumor that the new backup goalie was a beer vendor last year.

      1) When Seattle Sonics visit Oklahoma City this season, who will the fans root for? The team that is playing its last year in OC, or the team that might be moving there in 2007-2008? In ''05-'06, by the way, Oklahoma City was 11th in NBA with an average of over 17,000 fans per game. As an interim host city

                    Horse Racing Trends
                    Handicapping Tips

                    Unless I get the message straight from the horse's mouth or another part of the anatomy -- aggressive, controllable behavior, shiny coat or a fluid transition from a walking gait to a gallop in the post parade -- I rely on handicapping.

                    However, I'm not opposed to following sensible advice on making those selections such as:

                    1) Avoid first-time starters on the rail, especially in sprints, because speed horses breaking outside of them often prove intimidating.

                    2) Bullet workouts are good indicators that a horse is ready to roll, but pay more attention to fast works within a week of the next race.

                    3) Watch for a thoroughbred entered in a sprint after racing first or second near the far turn in a route before weakening.

                    4) Pacesetters with veteran jockeys and the inside post have the edge on off tracks and finish in the money about 25 percent of the time.

                    5) Post positions mean more when a horse shows a preference for winning from the inside or outside.

                    6) Look for thoroughbreds that exhibit improvement by the decreasing number of beaten lengths and increasing speed figures.

                    7) Weight comes into play in routes -- a five-pound advantage is worth about a length.

                    8) Horses encountering traffic problems in large fields should be tabbed when part of a small field.

                    9) Consider betting on a horse with spotty performances and high odds when a top jockey climbs aboard.

                    10) Money management is the primary key to winning. So when you're hot, increase your bets. And when you're not, decrease your wagers. That's because some streaks last for days.

                    11) One way to insure a losing streak is to bet on short-priced favorites -- that strategy will l ead you to the poor house. Obviously, you can't win every race so you must be selective.

                    12) I knew a turf writing handicapper who refused to bet on favorites that dropped below 5-2. Others I know don't wager on horses below 2-1.

                    13) As far as I'm concerned, that doesn't include exotic bets. It's all right to include such favorites in exactas, trifectas and Pick 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, etc. But I also always include a longshot unless the favorite appears truly unbeatable.

                    14) I've learned from several handicappers that you must be willing to adjust at any time. You must apply what factors are important for a particular race.

                    15) Discount so-called inside information. Bet your own horses. Once in a while you might get a tip that has some validity, but by the time it reaches you, it has passed through many hands and undoubtedly will be overbet.

                    So the next time you get a tip, check out the horse and see if the thoroughbred passes your handicapping test. And let your wagering conscience be your guide.
