I'll play. (At least the physical condition/horse physicality part.)
There are sharp people who have developed the ability to recognize fit and ready horses.
They know it when they see it. And it can be a difference maker.
If human beings can learn to do it: AI can learn to do it faster and with fewer mistakes.
Enter image recognition software.
Imagine a team of players, who among other things, record thousands of hours of track video - horses in the paddock, post parades, pre-race warmups, and gate loads, etc. while saving the video in digital format to a hard drive.
From there, have AI train on the individual frames of the video - comparing visible attributes for tens of thousands of horses against odds and finish position.
It's absolutely doable.
Don't assume for a second it isn't being worked on.
