It doesn’t matter who I’m talking to. I know the data. Plenty of horse people don’t believe the data. And plenty of baseball people believe clutch hitting exists as a repeatable phenomenon too. And those baseball people are ignorant fools.
I do suppose that analogy is a bit harsh. If you’re an experienced, profitable thoroughbred handicapper and you’ve got an opinion on a jock, it might be worth something. Maybe.
Take a Racing Form and ignore the jock info. The loss won’t hurt your wallet. Take the jockey info away from a harness program and the handicapper who has it will become very wealthy, very quickly.
Yawn.
