Same happened to me. I have an updated source now and I believe the trend lines are inaccurate. Just don't know what to do about it.

Funny story.....when I was in college I spent an entire summer going to the harness races. Every night I'd go out there and every night I'd win about $25 after spending about an hour or two doing my charting from the program. Not a heavy gambler, but made enough to keep me fed and it was a very conservative method.
Anyway, probably 20 years later I learned I was misinterpreting the program and the times of the past races by the horses. I was assuming the posted times were the times those horses ran, when in fact, it was the times of the winners. Totally used bad information, and yet the data worked perfectly for me, as I'd win money almost every race.
Moral of the story.......I dunno. Haven't figured it out yet.
