That is exactly my point, by careful observation over a long period of time, you can rate the actual 'heads' the permanent, pro punters, you can watch their results, learn their styles. To be honest, there are so few people going to the track now that you can almost name them all and define their styles, who they bet for and so on. Really, its easy to follow the 'RIGHT' people at the track and to filter out the 'Wrong' people. This is tantamount to having a computer make a ranking for you based on weather, barrier and so on. Instead of inputting data about weights and numbers etc. you are measuring people and their better than 'normal' strike rates.
Have you ever been to the track and seen the same bloke always winning and another bloke always losing? There is a very simple form of filter, you would ignore the regular loser and afford a higher ranking to the regular winner.
Perhaps I am not writing this well enough, but if you have spent your whole life on the track, you just can't help but come to the conclusions I have that when you see certain people bet, you go with them. Mostly you will get a good run for your money.
