I definitely think so.
Because it seems like the worst thing that anyone could do for their chances of winning, would be to handicap with conventional past performances. Ability is the only thing needed to make an intelligent betting decision, and that is the hardest thing to pry from conventional past performances.
But, with Ability-X Ratings, ability is what you get, right out there for you to see. I don't know about you, but, horse racing is a lot more fun for me when I can win better, and more often.
After all, the handicapping has always already been done. Get Ability-X Ratings for the winning part. Get them for all tracks for the whole month for $19.95. After that 1 month, you will know more about horse racing, and what wins the game you are playing.

Public handicappers... teachers or touts??
I'd have to go with touts, it seems that to be qualified for the term "teachers", public handicappers would have had to have learned something about horse racing. In order to pass along a little knowledge, which is what teachers do. Seems like you would have to know something about the subject matter to teach it, at least if the students are going to gain anything.
Of course, in the sphere of horse racing, there seems to be a couple of things that everybody knows. One is, that the #7 horse will win the 7th race, unless you bet on it, and the public handicapper operates like a busted clock. Right about twice a day. And, when they are right, who cares anyway? Unless you enjoy fighting the crowd just to get 40 or 80 cents back out from the windows. I'm being harsh, we all know that the public handicapper can come up with 2 to 1 horses here and there. About twice a day, like a busted clock.
It is actually comical, the way these people come out and with a straight face, tout an even money horse as if it is the second coming of Secretariat. Only, to have some else offer the excuses when the losses occur about 8 times a day. The very next race, they are at it again, winding up a blatherous "good handicapping sense" analysis with "he's been running pretty well, lately." Whatever that is supposed to mean.
They never seem to learn any better, and just do the same thing over and over, while horses continue to win at all kinds of odds. But, the public handicapper always seems to be touting the same type of horse as always. As if they want you to fail right along with them. Of course they offer to teach, but what could a public handicapper have to teach? They seem most knowledgable in excuse making.
It seems that any player, knowing enough to know to bet against the public handicapper, would have little need for the excuses.
