Hey Mark...just read your post about picking pacelines...and I agree with you. Sometimes I go back 5 to 10 lines back and do a lot of studying on them. I also have a copy of the "Hats" book "The Match Up" on my bookshelf along with 12 other HCP books from different authors...including DOCs Pace Makes the Race plus a copy of all the Follow Up Manuals....what we do takes a lot of study and work, just thought I'd run that by you.

Picking pacelines
In the last year I have changed the way I get to my paceline selection for each horse in the race. I still don't care where it is in the horse's pps. And I hope the majority of horseplayers continue to focus on the best of the last 3 comparable.Because that opens the door to good to great mutuels for me.
I have to project the 1st fraction of any race that I am going to wager money on. The better I have gotten at that the more money I have made. The options provided by RDSS are enough, perfect, No, but good enough. Bradshaw used three questions to qualify a deep paceline: 1) Is the horse still a horse? 2) Has the horse changed his Running style and become a slow horse? 3) Can the horse still get on top of his fractions? We want to bet on fast horses but we are looking at historical data whether the horse ran last week or last year. Horses change in the maturation process which will often change their abilities, to say nothing of injuries and the wear and tear of racing but if they are fit and sound they can often run back to or very close to there most recent TOP. It all comes back to those early fractions and if you can't figure out a method to consistently project them accurately and measure each horse against them in today's race, then all the other stuff becomes fun with numbers. |

It sounds like you are back in business though. Perhaps the 2018 database you were using previously was in fact residing in another RDSS-related folder, perhaps RDSS2 (distinct from RDSS2.1). If you browse your File System, you may find multiple RDSS folders, and if you drill down into the Data sub-folder, you may find a database (data.db?) or something with another name you provided (with a DB file extension) which has a very recent 2018 time stamp on the file. THAT might be your previous 2018 database. IF you find such a database file or files, in RDSS 2.1, simply use the Data Mgmt tool via the Desktop button for it to Switch databases to that other one you found (use the file navigation provided by the Switch routines). Unless you specifically said during the Uninstall to YES, delete a database type file (DB file), databases should NOT be deleted by an Uninstall process: they just might be located elsewhere than where a new RDSS 2.1 Install puts a fresh empty database (e.g. an older RDSS2\data folder). I hope that helps. I am travelling at the moment and only sporadically available (and often with no or poor internet) until after April 20. But if you have not yet located you previous database and saved Cache race files, do send me an email and we can arrange a quick remote connection to snoop around your computer to try to find them, no worries! Take care, Ted |

Ted, I may have found the problem. I discovered that File Explorer was not responding. When I looked for a fix, I found that non-responding may be related to indexing problems. So I tinkered with that, I did not have to do a rebuilding of indexing but that remains an option. Anyway things are running smoothly now.

That's great news Pat! I am concerned that you seemed to have 'lost' some of your databases or past data. If you still cannot find that stuff by next week, do drop me an email and we'll go hunting for it :)
Cheers, Ted |
Thanks

I did some house cleaning and changed RDSS file name from 2 to 2.0 and the config file had RDSS 2. Back up and running - Thanks again:):) |

I'd like to learn more about Perceptor
Is there a thread or post somewhere in this very large and impressive information bank of pace race information. I'm a recent owner of the RDSS software and I like to get a better understanding how the program determines its perceptor total for each horse. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Look up picking pace lines and you'll probably find more information on it. I've written about it several times. You can also click on my screen name and it will show you all my posts making it easier to find. There is also a current thread on picking pace lines and within about the Preceptor. Welcome aboard Pace & Cap. Mitch44 |
Thanks Mitch. I'll do that
