There seems to be general agreement among those who have constructed successful handicapping databases, that roughly 2,500 races is the acceptable minimum to create a stable model, and ideally as large a sample as possible. The Law of Large Numbers is for real.

Since I don't have Excel Office, I can't check this data myself, but would be grateful if anyone who does would be willing to post a completely unfiltered 4-contender $Net, similar to what Dave has posted in the previous 'New Pace' thread. And since Dave mentioned 7-1 as the break-even for profit in that thread, I think everyone would be interested in seeing the ROI for all contenders 7-1 and above in this sample.

Also, if anyone has a very large sample of races which include 'New Pace' contenders and results, in a format that can be pasted into a post here, I would be happy to tabulate the results of such a sample myself.

Thanks again, Bill.

Cheers,

Hi, wanted to let you know you don't need Excel Office, the file opens just fine with Open Office the free office suite.
