I have won over time for a long time while getting very little information. For the most part I very rarely seek information and only listen to what over time has proven reliable. For the most part I very rarely even ask.

So the trainer of a class dropper doesn't know better than the handicapper whether or not he's trying to get rid of the horse or just get the horse a confidence-builder? That's gotta be one clueless trainer.
And the jockey aboard a lame horse just in a race to get claimed doesn't know more than the handicapper?
And the exercise riders who are aboard a horse every morning don't know better than the handicapper how well one of their horses is training?
Here's the bottom line: You can be the best handicapper on the planet.. If the trainer of a horse you like isn't in the race to win it, you're cooked. Period.
