And, why do you consider the public is the "best handicapper"? Is it because they are consistently able to identify the winners 33% +/- of the time?

Hot handicappers come and hot handicappers go, but the public is always there on top of their game. To me a good handicapper can see why a horse is favorite but might prefer another, but never underestimates the public in doing so. Handicapping authors might have over used the term false favorite to the point that any favorite that doesn't win was false.
