So is Redietz an AP? I would say no, because his "edge" is knowledge and experience. Now if he had a direct line to the trainer on certain teams that he exploits (and maybe he does--that I don't know), maybe then he would be an AP. Just like the fact that I have played the horses for 50 years, read everything that is written, have a vast knowledge of breeding, know trainer and owner angles does not, to me, make me an AP. I just work harder at it and put the time in. There is still no sure thing that I can exploit like a favorable deck or the games that Mickey can vulture. Although I used to call the groundskeeper at one racetrack every morning to discuss what they had done to the track that morning in terms of cushion, scraping, addition of dirt, etc. Maybe that was an AP play.
