Interesting my automation took a battering today. Curious as to whether coincidence or something that can be improved in my strat (early race markets)
My family background is Greyhound racing, weather is one of the most important things to consider when you look at sports. An uncle of mine had a Greyhound back in the 1970's who finished fourth, in the final of a Greyhound Derby, at the then one of the premier tracks White City. The dog was a superstar winning over 35% of his races until he broke his hock. Take in to consideration how many races he won when it was raining, he won 8% of his races. Weather matters.
Look at Verstappen in Brazil with Formula 1 in the rain, look at horses who only win on certain going. Wind and rain changes conditions so extremely it is unreal. Start looking at animals who perform better in daylight than under artificial light, or rain or sunshine, they are all characters in their own right.
