When people are playing a lot of longshots and exotics you need a sample of thousands of races to have a good idea where you actually stand relative to other people as a handicapper. Contests are some combination of luck, strategy, and handicapping in that order. You are basically hoping you have neutral luck and that strategy and handicapping give you an edge, but plenty of excellent handicappers will have negative luck and lose (or vice versa) unless they play TONS of tournaments.
