There are always low percentage horizontals, but no matter how good you are it's going to come down to an awful lot of luck. Half that stuff you'd need to live three lifetimes before you knew you really beat it.

While your point is valid
in theory, they actually don't make the wagering decisions any later than we do. Remember, there is still a human being hitting the bet button.
They're sending their bets in as horses are loading the gate. That is exactly when you and I can send ours in.
Their info does not update THAT fast.
The difference is that they are able to send
MORE BETS than we can in that same period of time.
However, I do not send in so many wagers that I NEED the extra time, and I assume that to be true for most of us.
BTW, in my own play, I upload the bets way early but do not fire them until the 1st horse is in the gate.
The REAL BOTTLENECK is video lag.
