When you calculate what MED% you use for a race...how do you break it down?
Do you just break it down by distance only?
Or class distance?
Or class distance surface?
Or class distance surface sex age etc.
I know its christmas Eve...ought to be thinking about other things than Racing?
Thanks
Don...
Still working on it...
When and if I hit the pick six I will send you your Xmas present...
Dont hold your breath...

In regards to brisnet Par vs horses spd...example Par for race is 95 and race is on Dirt at
6f.
Would you only consider horses spd that is run on dirt for comparison or would you
consider all bris spds for horse regardless of distance and surface.??
This is in regards to selecting contenders...been watching your video over and over.
Thanks
Don.

Do to health problems have been away...question regarding Scott.
Horses running within 21 days of today's race who have a 5-furlong workout in the last 14 days
that earned a bullet or is at a very fast time (:59.4 or less in the East and Midwest and :58.4 or
faster in Southern California.
+
Is that still 21 days or 45 days?
Thanks

This is in regards to MED%
I noticed that there are different parameters in regards to ESP.
L has a different % than s sp etc. i have enclosed a list based on gulf stream 8.3 POLY
eg
MED % ESP
GP 66.00 L TO 67.00 L
GP 67.10 S TO 67.70 S
GP 67.80 SP TO 68.20 SP
GP 68.70 EP
69.50 E TO 72.00 E
Did not have enough data on on E and EP
Data was based on 50 available data points.
It would seem to me if you have an L horse that runs a 67.80 you
would throw him out???
What is interesting it goes up in a consistent manner.
I would of posted it but did not know where.
Notice that the % goes up...so it would seem to me that one would have to use
different MED% parameters based on the ESP??
Let me know what you think...I used 2 different time periods so it would seem if you
have like an L ESP It would have to be within the approprite parameters?
Thanks

Hi Lt, When I save my models I include the horses I hide. Is this the recommended way? I have not seen it mentioned anywhere, just assumed you should? But it would definitely affect your ranks for non hide winning horses.
Thanks,
Ken
HI Lt1,
So I'm also playing Parx today, when I play Parx I make my picks and then compare to yours, you definitely have some insights I do not understand yet!! Using all the best info I have accumulated thru RDSS I came to the same horses you did. The 11 throws an interesting wrinkle as I try to hold my bet to $12 for exacta and I think 11 has a potential to win but only 2 factors with great support numbers. I'll probably do 8,11,2 with 8,11,2,3,7. trying to hold with the 4 factor theory. What I'm asking is how do you bet this type race ? Good luck and enjoy your experience, I smile often at your success !
Thanks
Ken

There used to be a cartoon Mr. Wizard with the turtle...and when the turtle would get in
trouble he would start screaming help me Mr. Wizard. Well I am that Turtle...need some feedback.
You have stated on various post that you collect data for your models write information down. etc.
I have a question do you find that your models are changing in a shorter time periods
like weekly etc. Also do you consider class to be important...in other words do you
view alll 8f turf races regardless if there MC or Stakes as running pretty much in a similiar fashion in regards to the variables in RDSS? Like 8f turf races all the same at a
specified track.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated Mr. Wizard.
Thanks much
The Turtle.
