Item 86 is a useful book, Horary Numerology of the Turf by Rasajo, published in 1961. This book enables you to use the movement of the planets and the numbers of the horses to pick the winners at the track. "The control of planets over racing numbers and in turn over horses is very astonishing." Indeed it is. How the horses were able to compute this information to know when to run faster is unclear, but science is amazing. $75.
