Contenders
I recently did a study on contender selection.
I used a set of guidelines suggested to me from two of my friends. They both said that they were having very good results using these ratings to find the main contenders in a race. In 360 races using Profit Line and Prime Power ratings of 5 or lower I had 335 wins .93 and 297 exactas .825 in the contenders. This test was only to find the main horses for win. This is a very simple and easy way to get a very high percentage of win and place horses. I ran these contenders thru RDSS and looked at the RX3 rankings and was very pleased with the results of the top 4 RX3 horses. The races that I used were from several tracks and I used the same guidelines that I esed for the test on CSR. I hope this is a help to anyone who is having trouble finding the main contenders in a race. Richard rmath |
Hi rmath, in regards to your research, is the Prime Power figure your referring to a Bris number, or is it derived from RDSS?
There is a 1-5 ranking below the Profit Line number shown, but I cannot find a reference to what it may represent......so far, lol. Thanks for any enlightenment. John |
RX3 top 4 PL top 5
Hello Richard

The numbers in the ProfitLine column on the Rx screen and Entries screen are ... ProfitLine ranks :) from TwinSpires. Per the Documentation: http://paceandcap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10574 BRIS Prime Power is not derived from RDSS. It is available from BRIS or TwinSpires, but is not retrieved automatically like ProfitLine is. If it were, I would make it retrievable by RDSS for the PowerNumber 'wildcard' slot in Rx. Hopefully soon, folks can enter it manually if they like - for an 'external' PowerNumber. Hope that helps! Ted |
Hi Ted,
I apologize for the more or less double post on the Prime Power question, I could not find my original post. I still have one question unanswered. When having an individual horse pp's open, we see this column: APV CR CSR PL (blank ????) 1 thru 5 are indicated which correlate to ???? I sometimes overlook things....like winners. All the Best, John |
John, that number you're referring to is simply a mistake which should have disappeared long ago (the caption disappeared, but somehow the number remained :(). It was an early experiment at what became CR+
CR+ appears to be a superior readout. I have fixed that display and this 'number with no name' no longer appears! Thanks for pointing it out. Ted |
Thanks Ted, perhaps I missed you commenting on that previously.
