Thanks, Ted. It just set off a red flag and I was afraid that it might be one of those gifts that keeps on giving, although I'm sure all that old code has been perfectly organized and you've had an...

You didn't step on anything and it wasn't my thread.. Anyone who was actually working the race obviously has priority. I just meant that my interest was only peripheral. I'm sure those of you...

thanks Bill. I didn't look at the race and don't really care how the horse ranked. I was just curious as to any possible reason for that severe a difference in adjustment between 2 races from the...

Ted,

I don't have the card. Could you take a look at the running lines on "Run for Z" on the other programs. The difference between the adjustments on the 1st line and 2nd line back are rather...

Thanks Ted. You cleared up a question on Speculator speed ratings which has been bugging me since the days when we took the old scale Trackmaster speed ratings apart. It was obvious what Val was...

With modern track maintenace most "off" tracks aren't that far off. They usually seal the track before a rain and it takes a petty major storm to seriously mess with the base. I do discount very...

Good to be back

It's good to be posting again, Jeff. They had several that were either applicable to harness or had special harness versions. I've always been slightly curious about harness racing, but they...

Q-Scan for the quarters

I picked up an old Sartin manual recently, written mostly by Jim Bradshaw, called Q-Scan, which was a quarter horse handicapping program.

I love the concept of a pace handicapping method for...

thanks, Tom, but either I am confused (which is entirely possible) or that is not the conversion formula from %early to %median or vice versa. Maybe its the slope of the line?
