NUMBERS ...ARE JUST THAT - NUMBERS

DON'T MATTER WHO PROVIDES YOUR RAW DATA..

NUMBERS DONT LIE
BUT
YOU CAN LIE WITH NUMBERS

nothing accounts for the day of the race conditions except the mood of the animals themselves

does the 1 horse have a tooth ache,
did the three horse have a bee in his stall
did the 5 horse eat some bad hay
is the 4 horse intimidated by he 7

what happens on race day--- happens !

raw data does little except for identify the three of four with NO chance of being ITM

who is in the race today...
have they faced others in todays field ? what hapened then ?
has each of todays runners run at the track before ? what hapened ...did they win..if not were they in a box..

video and perfomance on todays track, along with repeat competitors have far more predictive power than digital analysis.

if the numbers gave out winners.it would be just that easy..
but..it isn't
