Honestly? I think anyone that claims they make money by looking at horses physically is almost certainly lying. As my friend the wise guy says, and he is as strong an expert at the physical observation of horses as there is, " they still have to have the engine ". Could a very adept eye, along with astute handicapping skills, be an advantage? Yes, but the combination is extremely rare in this business. However, what isn't rare, are people that say they win....and don't.

I'm a believer in sticking to your strengths, and one of mine is NOT having any understanding of body language, so I ignore it. And, frankly, unless you know how a horse has looked in its past starts, its appearance on one day is irrelevent.
