Last year I tallied the results of 457 turf races throughout the country. These were races I bet with real money.
For this 457 race sample I took the best SP and the best LP horse who was also in the Top 5 of Total Energy. I used the best turf race shown in the horse's past performances for the paceline. I'm not suggesting this is the best way to proceed. I'm only explaining what I did. Note, I used a Sartin program other than RDSS, but RDSS is capable of doing this and more (and it's probably better).
For record keeping purposes I made an imaginary $2 flat bet on each of them.
I showed a profit at nine tracks and a loss at ten tracks. Surprisingly, sprints showed a slightly higher ROI than routes.
The overall ROI was 1.06. In other words I got back six cents profit for every dollar invested.
MTH and CD were by far the most profitable tracks, with respective ROIs of 2.59 and 2.25. However, one $100+ horse at MTH skews those results.
As Ted suggests, you're better off doing your own record keeping. And I agree 100 races should give you an idea of whether what you're doing is working or not.
It's a royal pain in the butt, and most people simply refuse to do it, but record keeping is essential if you really want to know how you're doing.
