What in the world do horse analysts do? Really, what iservice do they provide for breeders, owners, trainers, jockeys, bettors?
Pedigree matters for first-time starters and first-time turfers and, distance changes early in a horse's career, but what else can there possibly be to it aside from who breeds to whom?
Who are the top horse analysts? Tomlinson figures look useful as far as how pedigree is somewhat likely to impact surface and distance for lightly -raced or unraced horses. Is there more to it? Much more to it?
My guess is the top paid horse analysts are the Ragozin and Thor-O-graph guys. They're the only ones I've heard of making a good buck for their analysis. But they actually produce a product.
How does a horse analyst get business? I suppose you could walk up to someone and offer to "analyze" their horse. (I'd be pretty good at that, I thnk)
How do horse analysts get paid? Fee-For-Service? Or, some other way?
Is Hank Goldberg a horse analyst?
I think I'd make a damn fine horse analyst.
What do you think?
