You have not suggested how you use weights to handicap a race or even your theory on the role, relative or absolute, of weight in a race (i.e., is it a sign of fitness?).
These have all been asked of you. No need to divulge trade secrets either...but your "physics and calculus are true" answers are didactic and not in a useful way.

That is okay, but I answered the question: "Can it be done?" and I didn't and will not layout a prescription of "How to do it" because if you have the proper science understanding coupled with solid analytic tools you should be able to do it.
Incidentally, it not my "physics and calculus are true"; it is that Newton's laws of motion which are over 400 years old are true.
On a more salient note, this is about gambling on race horses and not about a short cut to the win window at the racetrack.
And if you think I am acting in a patronizing way (didactic) that is both a misunderstanding and confusion on your part.
