So when you use the result charts, say you're going to handicap today's race. Do you get the result charts for every horse in the race or like the last few? Also, when not watching the replays, don't you miss some trips/troubles? I mean, nothing could replace what you see visually right? I hear a lot of people say, they prefer reading than watching so I guess I could see where you're coming from but everybody have their own way of doing trips.
Does anybody just use result charts alone to identify trips/troubles?

I wrote a program that looks for trouble comments, notes them and downgrades a troubled line from use as a pace line.
I think the fewer lines you can see for a horse, the less you can glean. If you have 10 lines, you can see the tendencies of a horse and you don't have to be so dependent on interpreting the troubled trip.
