There is a consistent theme through all of our small statistical studies - Rx2 and Rx3 are potent. (I say "small" because we really need a thousand sprints and a thousand routes, but that takes time.)

Ted casually mentioned that to me at Woodbine last summer. I was working up a race on RDSS while he looked over my shoulder. He suggested that I toss a 5th horse because of his Rx3 ranking, which reduced my contenders to four. At the time, I didn't fully appreciate the significance of his suggestion but after working through these races, I do now.

BTW, all of my number-crunching was done in Microsoft Access. I modified Ted's "Master Template" so that Access would import the data from Excel. If anyone is interested, I'll tell you how I went about it.
