Ideally, you find that certain people that tell you about a horse end up right about them more than they are wrong. And if you're smart, you still won't bet their suggestion on the basis of that suggestion alone. Betting even seemingly reliable toutings will undermine your own ability to reason and play.
Funny timing of this- In 2003 I took off work one day to go to the track and bet a Zito for Farmer steamer.


That horse? COMMENTATOR.
