Any good handicapper looks for the good and bad attributes a horse has. How a horse handles different types of surfaces and situations, etc.

This guy tries to do the same thing...but in a hilariously BS kind of way.

We all know a horse like a Perfect Drift or Dynever had a lot of hang to them as they got older ... he would explain it by going off into some mumbo jumbo herd dynamics rant ... where as a rational person doesn't try to explain why PD became a hanger... they just call him a hanger.

Yeah, it's not just calling Perfect Drift a hanger, it's figuring out a way to correct it. Otherwise it's useless because bettors who are paying attention to a horse already know they have a tendency to hang from looking at the same things this guy did. They don't need herd dynamics to tell them, so it doesn't even have a practical betting application.
