Sadly your dilemna is not uncommon. So some levity may be needed. You could alter your preparation regimen e.g. watch an episode of "America's Funniest Videos" or read some new jokes as step one.
Then consider who or what could be responsible for your condition. For example the last week of major meets is considered by some to have its own set of handicapping factors. Alternatively, do you have any distraction that could cause an anal cranial inversion?
Then handicap backwards. i.e. start with the last race and work toward the first race. Then start with the outside horse and work toward the rail. Choose those horse who can not win. Bet each of the remaining horses. (within reason)
If you can't get to a short list, pass the race.
Reward yourself in some way after success. Repeat. Then as in the trick test of years back ignore all of these suggestions.
