Why Most Horse Racing Strategies Fail (And How Backtesting Fixes That)
Most horse racing strategies don’t fail because they’re bad ideas.
They fail because they’re never properly tested.
In this episode, we break down the real reasons why so many betting strategies fall apart — small sample sizes, emotional decision-making, misleading strike rates, and overfitting after the fact.
You’ll learn why “feels profitable” is not the same as is profitable, and how proper backtesting removes guesswork, exposes weak ideas early, and helps you build strategies that can actually survive losing runs.
We also explain how tools like LightSpeed Stats allow you to test ideas across thousands of races, refine them with confidence, and approach horse racing as a process rather than a gamble.
If you’re serious about building data-driven horse racing strategies — this episode is essential listening.
