Okay, now you know how to make an Energy Par? What good is it? How do you use it?
What I did (and with considerable success at Saratoga…as far as I know I was the only person making and using them there at the time) was to employ the technique found in the orange manual, which was called Sartin Seminar Workbook, Chicago, 1985.
Notice there are three entries for 6f: High, Low and Average. What I did was take the last seven non-maiden races run at Saratoga. I then threw out the best Total Energy. I also threw out the worst Total Energy. That left me five races. From those I got the High, Low and Average.
For the next 6f race I handicapped and was about to bet, I automatically tossed out any horse that could not run to the Low Energy minimum. As you can imagine sometimes I’d throw out any horse that couldn’t run to the Average. It depended on the makeup of the race – how good the horses were in that particular event.
Did I have to change this every day? Answer: Yes, if a 6f race was run that day then the profile would have to be updated. Was this a lot of work? Answer: Yes, considering I was doing it for every distance run at the track, for every track I played.
I’d rather not go into any more detail at this point. Here’s the image:
