IMO publishing or selling a money making system for horse racing is a self defeating project.
Yes, there are many ways to skin a cat, but there are not that many cats. Any smart person or team would pound the heck out of any published profitable system and it would not be profitable for long. Unlike the market where there are many times more people and money in play, the racing game is pretty small.
In the eighties when data was harder to accumulate, it was a lot easier to create profitable systems. With the advent of rebates and computers and data, it is much harder to find much of an edge unless you get rebates or don't bet much money. The same type of a horse that had good odds 10-15 years ago usually is a much lower paying proposition, which means the market has become more efficient.
It seems that most of the published books were never really based on much data either.
MY $50K Year at the Races" ? My friend made $100k one year (abut 20 or so years ago) and thought he had found the holy grail.....Lost it all and more then next year. Hard to know if it is just luck or the answer.
It probably isn't worth it any more to create a new software program anyways with the declining market for such things. Probably more of a hobby thing for someone good at programming.
