I will respond to you in this way: weight itself is useless, but when converted to mass it becomes one of the most powerful metrics in the calculation of the predictive outcome of a horserace due to the many different performance metrics that can produce of the horse’s historical race performances and its future performance(s).
Anyone who predicts knows that a before and after calculation is needed to provide legitimacy to the predicted outcome.
The following statement from your post: “By the way...am looking at weights TOTALLY different light than you and your crew.” is a head scratcher to me because we are not engaged in head-to-head wagering; we are if we are wagering in the same pool are wagering against many other bettors on-track and off-track.
I wish you much success. whatever method or metric you choose to use.
