3. I import all the computer notes into Formulator.
4. I watch the replays looking for things the computer is not programmed to find and pay special attention to the flagged races because that's where some of my bets will come from. I override the computer when I think it's appropriate and add the other notes.
5. Race day the computer spits out all the upgrades and downgrades running that day with projections of whether they are moving into better or worse conditions.
The goal is to find upgrades moving into favorable conditions to bet on and vice versa. All the notes and reports are part of my subjective handicapping. It's a nice process, but it's mostly just a time saver. I still have to watch everything, make tough judgments, bet correctly, and use the information well. That's no easy task.

How many races do you bet on in an average week?
