Profiling And A Dodgy Car Sale
Profiling, as was discussed last month, works great when we are dealing with those handicaps providing plenty by way of prize money but, the run of the mill midweek racing, and the off-meetings we have of a Saturday, are best âhandicappedâ and since 1992, I have been working my socks off to get that side of my business right.
