you really need to purchase and read Mark Cramer's book Thoroughbred Cycles, 1990 William Morrow.

One of my favorite lines in there covers the rigidity of a singularity in looking at a race, p. 13 "The more I bet and see others bet, I am convinced that there is an attitudinal relationship between lifestyle and handicapping style," and then goes on to show how looking at a rigid set of RULES on every race will send you to the poor farm

or p. 15 "Both continuity and change play important roles in the dynamics that produce race results......the projection of change is superior, in terms of investment, to the identification of continuity.To project is dynamic; to identify is static."

A good book you deserve to become enlightened by
