[So Cal Al]

First off, nice work guys! With enough analysis , we might get down to some workable considerations. I have formed some "impressions" so far that I can share. Perhaps, others will be able to add or subtract from these "impressions". There is no question that what Ted has done in RDSS2 makes NP a faster handicapping approach. It also seems that those with accurate paceline selections can do well (or better) using VDC. If I understand some of Ted's recent input, I think he is looking for collaries, as well as differences in performance between VDC and NP. One early "impression" that I have so far, is that NP works better at lower class tracks, e.g. Mountaineer better than Del Mar. Has anyone come to a similar opinion? Another impression is that when NP and VDC top contenders are alike, there is a very strong betting opportunity. My last " impression" for this reply is that NP, although "automated" must, per se, ignore foreigh horses and first time starters (which also cannot be in VDC readouts), but can be shown to be viable contenders by checking other information found within RDSS. Thoughts?
