You equate reading the
Form to picking lucky numbers. I do my handicapping with a print version of the
Form and I continue to have reasonable success. I ignore jockeys, weight, and Beyer speed figures. Pick4's are my most profitable wager, especially when turf and/or maidens are in the sequence.
I am an investment advisor and find that the computer is a useful tool for conducting fundamental research. I won't ever need it for handicapping though.
