Is it even through out the day over time? My charting shows I do better, much better actually, taking at least a day between handicapping sessions and keeping the sessions to 5 races or less. I am in poor health, so I do not have the concentration I used to, so it seems obvious in my case in retrospect. I am curious though if other people do better when they are fresh or do they do better as the day goes on and they spot patterns. Very brave posting real time handicapping, this is not a hobby for sissies, and neither is getting old as the lady said.
In my case, I am working on an AI assistant to help me stay consistent with my handicapping and take a lot of the record keeping load off my time. I am hoping this will free my brain to do more races and less of the grunt work of record keeping and analysis of betting. I am very curious how other people handle these things though if you don't mind sharing.
As I said, very brave to post in advance and thank you for that. May you be rewarded with some very good days ahead.

Hey Dan,
Yeah I think I fade a bit as the day goes on. I don’t really care because I just like to keep playing. Today I was expecting a big score at some point, being the Breeders Cup and the field sizes and so kept going. The day was kind of chalky though.
I did take a 3 month break which helps reset ones mind. Had too much outdoor work to do. But with winter coming I have jumped back in.
Posting before post time is the only true measure of sharing success or failure in my opinion. I wish more people used the Selections forum. This is a site dedicated to predicting the future after all.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Pook
