RX,

When I did the race I had it down to 5 horses, the 6,1,7,4,5.
The #5 was the favorite @ 9/5 and the #6 was the 2nd favorite @ 3/1.
I bet the 6 and 1.
Of the contenders the #6 was a long layoff horse and the lone early and he looked like he might steal the race. He broke first and lead all of the way and then the #1 hooked him in deep stretch and won buy a head.
#1 paid $25.00 to win.
The reason for the disparity with the 6 is because of his faster time (greater speed rating) and his TPR was 183.2 compared to the next closest of 179.5.
I just used the all the horses as I did to exaggerate the point that using Perceptor to make your final betting decision is not the way to go, and I still don't really know why.

Thanks for your interest and comments,

Froggy
