I will reiterate my earlier point -- it is unlikely that any older systems or methods will hold up today. It is also unlikely that those things worked back when they were written. Do you really think that QFH handicapping was tested on 100,000+ races to check the profitability? Of course not.
But it is possible that those old systems will provide inspiration with an idea worth pursuing. A more contemporary example is Barry Meadow's latest book. Based on research with Ken Massa there was nothing to be found in terms of profitable factors. But for me, the best part of the book was all of the questions Meadow proposed on different topics. He is a much more experienced horseplayer than I am, so there were things he wrote that I hadn't thought about.
I guess what I am saying is that there might be some good stuff in those old writings, but I don't believe you can take any of them at face value.
