When I was growing up my dad was active in the VFW. I don't remember why, but at a pot-luck or something he was sitting with his best friend at the bar and I asked him what some guy's job was in the war. They got unusually serious and told me never to ask the guy about it because he was in the Pacific. Was service in that region considered especially bad?

I spent six months trying to feel proficient at track, wagering, giving up after getting consistent enough to not lose too much... MOST of the time. At the time I felt that access to expensive historical trainer data might have made a difference. Do you believe this information has value to those who think that looking for patterns of behavior may provide a slight edge?
