big race at Oaklawn
 

putting this up at 8 minutes to post. Let's see if this same "order" shows up again. ODDS say no wager.

in another ROUTE the top three e/l's run in the top three spots, but no bet.."order within chaos" still there.

1 R's Star 11.00 5.60
3 Instant Messenger 6.00

a route again so THINGS just don't repeat this often without there being something to it.

EYES wide open: you JUST consider what the HORSE did, not the trainer, not the rider, not the track (unless this one is 0 for 10 and it is off today) not the horses next to him, JUST THE HORSE. As I understand it the HORSE's energy and energy distribution are what we look at.

that last post missed the mark: I mean we are looking at HORSES, NOT performances

E/L Relativity Step by Step
 

Hi Mr Tompkins
This is race 5 from Sat.0311
I think you can use this. By doing this step by step- I can more clearly
get a better idea of what your showing
I know you will like these results

Here are my pace lines I'm using Val 3
maybe you can show what happens on Spec

Lines
Horse 1 Line 2 SR = 74 I see the 87 for line 1 in the mud
This horse can't run over a 74 on a fast track
Horse 1a Scr
Horse 2 Line 1 SR = 84
Horse 3 No Line
Horse 4 Line 1 SR = 83
Horse 5 No Line
Horse 6 Line 2 SR = 86
Horse 7 Line 4 SR =78
Horse 8 Line 2 SR = 83

Total Energy/PLS Eliminations

Take out Horse # 1

Top 5 contenders

BL/BL - VDC
6 6
2 2 - 4
4 8
8 7
7

and now the late/ early graph

The 6 and 8 are the top 2 most early and also Ranked 1 and 2 Total Energy

As stated previously... It has merit for sprints... It'll catch a few winners for Routes... Mr. Tompkins won't share or doesn't have statistics on its long term performance in routes so I <B>CAUTION<B> anyone on applying it without running a 20 race test....

Routes
 

It does seem like it would not work so well
on routes
I also believe its the Total Energy readout thats
the key, In my example the 8 closed !

I break my Handicapping into "Sessions" at a paticular track.. I define a session as a period between breaks. For instance AQU is dark Mon-Tues so my "Session" is Wed-Sun. This Session so far March 8-11 in the 6 fr races I track (no madien) finds that horses ranked 1-2 E/L have won 7 out of 11 races... Many times I've seen biases not carry over to the first race day of a new "session". Often times I've wondered if the maintence of the track that goes on in the dark days is done to intentially eliminate such biases...

You totally missed the point so of course it won't come out that way. I has EVERYTHING to do with seeing a SECOND, earlier line for the same horse CLOSE to the time the OTHER line is there. It is the combination of the TWO lines one looks for and you didn't do antying like that (going back to a single line) so of course it won't come close to working.
