The reality is that most of the work a handicapper does will lead to absolutely nothing. However, in order to find the hidden gems you have to do as comprehensive a job as possible. If I work 4 hours on a card, in all likelihood 3 hours and 50 minutes of it will be a relative waste of time, or worse....lead me to losing, but somewhere in that ten minutes there just might be something that leads me to a big score. You can't get to that ten minutes of work unless you do all the work.
Nobody will accurately tell you that watching replays guarantees winning. But, over time it will seriously help your play if you have an objective view and an open mind.
To each his own, but to me you spend an awful lot of time fighting the demons of extraneous events.

It will only get you so far. You can work all you want, but in a series of races, they are gunna probably wake up one dull horse. If you went deep, you might survive it. The best advice I can give anyone is to make a list of known cheat artists. If you're playing horizontally, then the race you go deepest in should be when you see a strong favorite in a race with cheat trainers.If you're playing vertically, then use the video. Make love to it. Eat up the figures etc. I'm talking about a series of races(horizontal betting.) Now, I also am talking mainly about SO-CAL Racing. Which is where a lot of horizontal betting is popular. Maybe in New York you don't have the infestation we have out here.
