I think our disagreement is more about betting patterns than handicapping.
It could be because we are looking at different types of races.
My Formulator notes are mostly focused on high quality races where I think a bias or the race flow impacted the outcome. Those races are covered so carefully, a lot of people know all the trips. So sometimes the best course of action is to find the nuanced situations where the commonly held views are wrong.
It could be a completely difference situation in claiming races that fewer people are paying attention to.
