This is why having data is so helpful.
Horse players believe all sorts of things based on what they read in a best selling book, because they cashed a few winners on some angle one time and it made a strong impression, someone whose opinion they respect told them etc... Some of it is utter hogwash, but they'll argue it, promote it as a valuable angle, continue betting it etc...
I try not to add anything to my game unless I've tested it thoroughly and know it either adds value to my betting or to my ability to create a better odds line. I never look at gelding info because I've never had the ability to test it. Seems that was a good idea. The again, maybe not. Perhaps I should have been tossing them.
