Rich,
I havent turned DTV or ITV off, so I will attempt that on my next Belmont card.
Next weekend it might be fruitful have why have several groups doing the same card with prescribed settings and comparing the differences. It may not have anything to do with RDSS at all and more with the crazy track profile at this time.
Ted,
I'm not as concerned about the losses as much the fact that many of these races are being won by tier5 or worse horses. Not having this problem at the other tracks, I have capped many of the same races as froggy has presented with similar results; but when he plugs these horses into energy they move up dramatically.
I lean heavily on the velocity, E/L, and segments tabs besides BL/BL when handicapping. In my case I find these low tier horses to be ranked so low in total energy and on the BL/BL that the dont make the top 5 or tier 5 at the most. So for the most part they are out of my final consideration. I believe if they were ranked higher I would most certainly have more winners, because I do use a two horse betting strategy.
Anyone else feel free to chime in, between the rain and the proponderence of lower tier winners
I'm steering clear of Belmont for a while!
Carl
