I think I get what you’re driving at. What you could do is pick a certain type of race, like claiming sprints, and look at those races in the red board room every day and see if any patterns emerge. With figures, trainers and/or jockeys. Take notes for a few months and you might get somewhere, when they start the next meet you might have a leg up. Or you may see something sooner.

Saying “claiming and allowance races” is probably too broad? A smart guy once told me to be specific and pick one kind of race and learn as much as you can about the players on a circuit. Turf sprints. Dirt Miles. Just a suggestion.
