Excerpts from
The Psychology of Thoroughbred Handicapping
by Thomas Wilson
Copyright 2009, 2007 ISBN: 978-0-9798837-0-5
from Chapter 3 . . .
A computer program could crunch all the handicapping data and spit out logical plays, like a chess routine
that evaluates all possible moves on the board, but we know there are no sure procedures that could be
programmed into software to reliably pick winners for profit. If there were, then there would no longer
be a handicapping game, or horse racing for that matter. The human element, the horseplayer making
best guesses and getting hunches from data patterns, beats the computerized automaton in the long run.
Yes, the computer beats the brain in speed, but loses to the brain’’s mental flexibility and uncanny focus
on just what is most important. In fact, these heuristic shortcuts in the human mind are poorly duplicated
in digital computers hat must go methodically through their routine, or algorithm. Computing devices
certainly can be effective tools for recording data, producing indexes, and summarizing statistics,
but all the judgment and decision making involved in thoroughbred handicapping must remain a truly human activity.
