One of the Sartin Methodology's teaching members once wrote of a conversation he had with William Scott at a Handicapper's seminar. Scott told this member that 'Nothing works all the time', or words to that effect. I can't say for certain what he meant by that in toto, but I took it to mean that he was talking about his methods in the books he wrote.
While I enjoyed and learned alot from Scott and Sartin, I agree that for some reason or other, all these handicapping methods just don't work 'all the time'.

And wasn't Mr. William Scott (a pseudonym) the father of a fairly well-known figure in the horserace handicapping field? |
Author Finley's sons are William and Scott
... Scott was apart of the original staff at the late, great
The Racing Times, and Bill is a long-time turf writer who probably could be found at both
The Blood Horse magazine and
The New York Times.
Not exactly sure what Scott Finley is doing currently but was told he's still in 'the business'.
