Fascinating concept. I know some who are working with artificial intelligence to attempt to create a model to pick winners. It has long been my theory that horseracing is a nebulous mix of art and science, thus pure science fails to reliably predict the outcome of a microcosm such as a particular field of runners traversing a certain distance on a given day of their respective lives. Really too many variables, and how to weigh each into a general equation will drive one mad. Anyway, after 20 years of scientifically studying horseracing, I am little better off than tossing a dart or using a Ouija board to pick winners. Evidently, the art part of it eludes me. Our mate William, however, seems to have an incredible understanding of how the various
handicapping factors correlate. I am here to learn, and better my handicapping skills; I appreciate all who assist me in this aim.
