It may be that in 2019, the most profitable handicapping factors involve qualitative metrics. But that's largely due to the success of speed figures, not their failure. Because good speed figures are so widely available and everyone has them, they no longer offer nearly as much betting value as they once did. But that doesn't mean they aren't important. They provide crucial information for separating contenders from pretenders in handicapping races.
