Field notes
The About section attributes the publication’s method to founder Byron Holmes, Sr. and describes it as drawing on experience, observation, and fieldwork; the method itself is proprietary. The homepage shows one article, dated Nov. 1, 2026, and says a series of race-by-race grades against results and exit data will follow over the next month.
