If your looking for a systematic approach to d.o.b for example something that requires no effort than I would recommend concentrating on certain race types but most importantly the pace of the race.
Front runners in slow paces.
These predictors use ratings which include ground, tbh they are pretty basic. ATR predictor is by far the most reliable and I know they average about 12% strike rate. Which isnt too bad as not very often they are on the favourite.
I use to waste so much time, I mean 10 hours a day testing and think of systems to try and find a holy grail but racing is a bit like trading. Start fresh and find out the whys.
Questions to research:
Do horses really improve from long lay offs?
Do horses improve for quick turn outs?
How do horses perform after running on soft ground last time?
What age do horses regress?
I know it sounds crazy but their are literally thousands of questions you could research, not everything can give you answers sometimes can make it more puzzling but atleast you can look at race and go, ok this favourite ran 4 days ago on soft ground, now stepped up in trip. I know from my research this is a negative...
For example, the bounce factor on horses from a long break after they win... Its actually true and untrue. If they win from a very long break on soft or worse going they are incredible more likely to bounce and I would suggest its just because it takes effort to win on that going, whereas running on quick ground, is little effort for a horse superior to beat its apponents. John Gosden has his debut runners about 85% fit first time out but they still win, but if you looked on heavy ground they really dont.
