I have been thinking that by concentrating on factors that the handicapper doesn't factor into his calculations when setting weights, a new angle might deliver some value horses. My own method of handicapping often throws up TAB no. 1 horse, which means I agree with the handicapper.....its when it throws up a number greater than 5 (or at least a horse near the limit) that I get interested. Does the handicapper take into account Jockey, trainer, days since last run etc?
