Your truth, MikeGerogeJoe. You have no idea how good a handicapper @class is so you can't know his "intuition". Coincidentally I was thinking about this last week. Intuition is not a good word because it has negative connotations much like the words "voodoo" or "witchcraft". Handicapping Insight is probably a better descriptor as there are people out there that can handicap pretty well with the Form or looking at output from some software program independent of how the horses are "ranked". Their brains process things in a way that they are not aware of but it works for them in a positive way. My late handicapping friend amazed me many times with his insight.
I'm not saying that research and statistical analysis is a bad thing; far from it. But if a person becomes wedded to it s/he loses the forest for the trees.
