Dana Blankenhorn has written about picking winners in open source that starts with a reference to Secretariat. I love horse racing.

A hot walker walks horses around in a circle, either just to get them out of the stall or to cool them down after they come off the track. It's the lowest position in the backside of any track. The best trainers still use people though and not machines. Our barn was next to Charlie Whittingham's.quoted-in-bloomberg-and-some-wireless-ranting
