I'm not sure if I trust the speed figs, track variants, bias entirely as this would be even more scientific...I think?
Watching races at tracks for several months, even just the replays and documenting. Another curve ball is the heavy machinery they use to flatten out and seal the track, at least make it uniform.
Smart man to document what you see with your own eyes. I always told myself I would start to keep a log with race notes. They're more powerful than the charts. But... I haven't. Occasionally a mental note, which I remember a second after the horse that caught my eye wins it's next race at 14-1, crosses the finish line.
The day you start keeping a log, I'll yell out - aye aye Captain Kirk.
I don't own horses, never did. Not sure if I ever will. However you do.
Post race you have access to drivers, trainers to ask questions, sounds like you try to be on track too when possible. It's not a homework assignment, just an suggested observation. If you use a free virtual stable like Trackmaster, TwinSpires that allows notes, plugging some in there and when you get the email preparing you for race day it reminds you. Maybe it will be relevant, beyond just wagering as buying / selling horses is your arena too.
I have all of our horses on Trackmaster Virtual Harness Stable. It's free for anyone who has never heard of it. I get notifications when a horse is entered, a day of notification, a 45-minute to post reminder, and then a result notification all via email. You don't have to get all those notifications. To each their own.
Since most of our horses race in Ohio or Pennsylvania, and occasionally Kentucky, rare is the opportunity to see our horses race in person. So far I think we have seen our horse three times and they didn't win those races. We hope between tomorrow and Thursday we will get an opportunity to visit the horses and Anthony.

You didn't know you had horse whispering skills?
Connect eyes with the horse, then send the horse some video messages telepathically, like they're running as fast as they can to a big bowl of carrots and apples, then they'll have a late night interlude behind the barn with some other 4 legged sassy creatures.
Motivate. 🙂
