I'm always curious to know why handicappers who sell their picks give you 3 horses for every race.

From Ray Taulbot:

"During more than 45 years of turf activity I have yet to meet a man who attained consistent success through any means other than spot play operation. No mystery shrouds the reason for this. The hard, cold fact of the matter is that about 6 out of every 9 races run preclude a reasonable chance of naming the eventual winner in advance. The man who refuses to recognize this fact is inviting failure, disappointment and financial loss."

These facts still hold true today.
