Very well said, Ted.

Some of the older Sartin programs did not take into account daily variants or track to track adjustments. It was up to the user to make decisions as to whether a horse was a true contender and hit the 2 adjust in a Sartin program like Thoromation. This was my favorite program because as Sartin said, "it was synaptic"...it forecast a race as exdc or sp depending on the matchup. I had ways to get around the dilemma of true contenders but it was time consuming..

One can have the best tools available but no system is flawless. Form cycles and the likelihood of a bounce after a major race effort are some of many arrays of questions and decisionsone must make on a regular basis even if you have the best programs and numbers available ...

Bottom line is to make money like Ted said so emphaticcally.....Nostagia has no place in this game as one must maintain a positive roi and take advantage of one's edge while it last.
