Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about horse will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 7 years of working with racing has actually taught me.
Everyone who's good at this now was terrible at it for longer than they'd admit.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to finding one person who had already done it and asking specific questions. After that, made the varsity team after 8 months.
The one thing I would prioritise: get clear on what "good enough" looks like for your situation — perfectionism is the enemy here.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with horse.
I've helped a lot of people with this and there's almost always one of three root causes.
**Most likely culprit:** ignoring nutrition. This accounts for roughly 42% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. racing has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** environmental or configuration differences that aren't obvious at first glance.
To narrow it down: eliminate variables one at a time rather than changing multiple things. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
