Bill,
Thanks for the response. No offense taken reference the speed figures at all. I may be interested in making my own once I get a handle on the concepts, and I think you may have opened a door for me.

When I referred to picking the horse that came in 2nd over the horse that came 9th, I was saying only that if there were multiple "lines" to choose from that demonstrated the projected pace, I would pick a 2nd place finish over a 9th place finish,as an example. I might also pick a 3rd place finish over a 4th place finish. Or, I might pick being beat by only 3 lengths as opposed to 5 lengths. Does that make sense. Simply, if the line demonstrated the projected pace, I hoped the end result was a win or as close to it, then I would choose it.

So, are you trying to tell me that RDSS actually does all that "match up" work? It decides who might duel or close based on the pace I enter? Then the horses in the BL/BL are the the ones RDSS sees as being the contenders. So, it goes without saying that the horses as listed in order in the BL/BL might be closers, lead horses, OTE etc. Could the BL/BL horse listed first be the closer and the next two be the two that dueled it out and succumbed to the pace?

Thanks again for your time.

John
