Bill H,
There is NO speed rating showing in RDSS which relates specifically to the
current track (e.g. CT). ALL the numbers, except the raw ones on the Original screen, relate to the
matchup of horses running against each other today, and are equalized, normalized and adjusted to do just that. My understanding is that this has been Dr Sartin's approach since about the days of Energy! in the late 1980s, though perhaps not the specific approach of Purdy or Brohamer.
I'm pretty sure you might mean something different by 'projected pace' than RDSS uses the term, but I would NOT use the Adjusted numbers to project a pace. In RDSS we have a
Projected Pace tool based on the
raw original data which you can read about in the Release Notes. I take the likely Early horses (Early's and possibly Early Pressers's) and use the Projected Pace tool to select the 1st call and 2nd call times likely to be set by an E Running Style horse. This colour-codes the call times for all horses and helps you to see which other Earlies are close to the proposed pace and which cannot keep up (and thus eliminate them for Win); also how the Other-than-Early Running Style horses have been able to close against such a pace. You can edit the initially selected pace if the pace-setter will not have to run as fast as its chosen paceline, and again the call times of all horses and in the Analysis section re colour-coded to show time proximity to that pace.
I'm not sure how that relates to what you do with a projected pace, but I use it in every race to evaluate the pressure an E or EP will face, along with confirmation by other energy based readouts (e.g. CBL on Segments screen).
If you want more info on RDSS' Projected Pace tool (after the Release Notes), perhaps you could start a discussion in an RDSS Forum (so not to detract from the Synergism focus in this forum). Also, in the
Hat Check/Matchup area, you will find numerous discussions and screenshots from Richie showing how he evaluates Running Styles using the RDSS Projected Pace tool.
I would not use those numbers you circled above, from the RDSS Adjusted Screen, as a guide for what times will be run at CT (or any track) today. In my view, the Adjusted screen numbers are there to provide a continuity of flow showing how
raw info (the Original screen) gets
adjusted by your chosen adjustment settings, then becomes a source of input running times to derive
velocity, then turns into all the various individual
compounded factors, then line scores and odds line. In other words, a part of the progression from least adjusted (raw, Original Screen) to most adjusted (BL/BL Screen including V/DC).
FWIW, in my RDSS layout, I don't bother showing the Adjusted screen - I never consult it. I use Original, then the various compound factor readout screens (mostly BL/BL, E/L Diff, and Segments). Of course, others (like Bill V and many others) do use it and some mostly ignore the Original screen. To each their own
I hope that helps.
yours,
Ted
