Brings back memories. I remember sitting in the casino with a friend and Brohammer as they were handicapping races. Friend had been doing well with Sartin for quite a while, as he put a lot of effort into the system. Sometimes though number’s don’t give you the whole story.
A downhill race at Santa Anita came up and we had a difference of opinion. I warned them that a certain horse had an affinity for the track but was ignored. The horse won at a decent price.
Seems a lot of stuff or all of it actually came from many sources and Sartin put a lot of it together in one package. I had already programmed many of the same concepts for someone on an Apple computer. I did meet Mahl before that time as he wanted me to do some programming for him. Didn’t really know who he was as I wasn’t really that into handicapping at the time. Should have taken his offer.

Anyway, as in everything, most things are built on the shoulders of those who came before and the more things change, the more they stay the same. The numbers are the numbers and there are not many ways they can be massaged to give a different story. It takes patience and experience to weed out the answers.
