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.

I totally agree and always wondered why touts sell picks. If the picks are that good just put the money through the window. I have been at this over 40 years and concluded long ago that spot plays are the way to positive results.
