Thank God somebody gets it. And thank you fkach.
I just got back from South Africa, so this is my first chance to see this thread.
Jerry, numbers are valuable and part of the puzzle, but only part.
I humbly submit to you that the use of numbers had a detrimental impact on the way some horses were trained up to the Derby and the results speak for themselves.
People that rely n numbers solely, whether for the placement of their horses or for gambling, cannot consistently win, because they do not supply all of the answers.
That was my point.
