How does the Whale, or Joe Sixpack with his database quantify physicality along with his analytics?
Once I recognized the expertise of the crowd per James Surowiecki, and database printouts displaying their ability to sift 3-1 vs. 7-2, 9-2 vs. 5-1, etc., I realized the physicalist handicapper must sit on her hands as often as any other "specialist".
Yet at major tracks we're treated to subtle generalities (it's relatively seldom as if the horse will scratch at the gate) & descriptions of a horse's physical attributes before most every race. Can't the player merely consult the sale auction data? That's where one better know confirmation.
