So, apparently you support the absurd concept that viewing the running lines of a previous race without consideration for any other race related factors will lead to drawing better conclusions when contemplating a future race? The only basic validity this has is that you know that the race has already been run, and where each of the entries were located at various points on the track. Now trying to assume that these running lines will in some incredible way provide “valuable” information pertinent to a future racing event for any of the entries previously involved is bizarre at best.

I would like to see anyone test the "validity" of how viewing just the previous running lines of
ANY race will lead to the successful predictions of a future event. The question of “Is it Working” isn’t the answer regarding “complexity, but any astoundingly positive results would fall into the realm of the supernatural.
