No mechanical procedure is going to work the same at all tracks, or even at any one track over time. There are simply too many variables.

I find it fairly impressive that, betting the top two horses, the mechanical procedure showed a net profit of near 8% over a couple of hundred races. If that swmi-automatic procedure remains that consistant, you can bet a lot of tracks, churn a lot of money, and show a profit.

I'm not sure what you mean by second hand info, but par times work beautifully with Sartin programs. When I was fooling with accurate pars, I was nailing the top three horses with great consistency. You could sit back and cash tickets on little exactas and trifectas all day long. The only problem was they didn't make enough to pay for the losers.

Its the same problem with most mainstream procedures. We can all pick some winners, but if we all sit there and stare at the form long enough, we're going to come down on that horse that looks the best, and there's no money there.
