Beyer has detailed this same thing in his books and guess what you needed a place to see the track and a set of binoculars to do what you are talking about. However when an irresponsible "visionary" builds a racetrack where he positions you inside a box for a full day the size of a Phone Booth with no physical view of the racetrack this has been totally eliminated from your handicapping repretroire. Hence stay at home in your recliner.

X-Box I will not be betting him either. When he loses choose from the following excuses:

A.)Lost shoe
B.)Flipped Pallet
C.)Bled
D.)Full of run then Saddle slipped
e.)Swallowed dirt
f.)None of the above will receive full post race scope, scan at cost of $500+ to see if anything is there.
