No Such Thing as Automated Handicapping

It's not in compliance with the spirit of the rules... but we have a tool that will take handicapping to the next level!

People have to watch the races because, as everyone knows, the late money placed on the horse is done by the person who has more knowledge.
People need to study the past performances of each horse in order to make a decision.
People need to see the horses. Many handicappers like to look at a horse and can read a horse's body language to see if they are ready to run.
People have to watch the odds board and don't really know when "smart" money is coming in during the course of betting on a race. Only looking for odds coming down dramatically that may tell them something.
People need to hear something about a horse, pay attention to the news surrounding a race.
People need to know and possibly read about how a horse's workouts are going in the morning to tell if the horse is coming into form.
People buy other services that provide speed figures they can only get at the track and rely mainly on those numbers.
People need to manage their money correctly and have to adjust the amount of their wagers depending on how they are doing for the day.
People may need to change their opinion about a horse due to a change in the weather. Some horses like it when it rains and run better on sloppy tracks and some horses don't.
People need to pay attention to pedigree of a horse, especially horses that are first time starters (running their first race) and there are no past races to study. The parents of a horse have influence on what a horse prefers to run on.
For example, some horses are bred to run on the Turf (Grass) where other horses are bred to run Sprints (races less than 1 mile). For the Kentucky Derby, this is the first time a horse is attempting running 1 1/4 miles. What have the other offspring of his sire or his dam done when running 1 1/4 miles.
In general, there are many variables that go into handicapping a race and every race is it's own puzzle. The factors that are important in determining the outcome of one race may not be the same factors that determine the outcome of the next race. There is a fair amount of subjective analysis that cannot be automated.
