[1retired]

I'm basically a newbie, I originally signed up and sent a few messages in 2015, and then left because of work. I'm now retired (like my user name). I noticed that tampa bay downs opened for two days about a month ago and then closed and there was no information about what, why etc? I live in Naples, FL and it's by 2nd go to track after Gulfstream. Does anybody know what happened and if it will be reopening in the near future, or not?

My second question is about track profiles and modeling. I've spent several days getting up to speed with RDSS and what's going on among the messages.
It's not clear to me whether it is still a good idea to have a track profile with the EPS statistics and lengths behind aat the first and second calls information or if RDSS takes care of that by its system of play itself. Should I still be keeping a track profile?

My third is about turf racing. I've seen a fair amount of races shown oiw which the RDSS shows how to handicap dirt races. I've not seen a lot of turf races shown. When I made my original posts in 2015 I talked about finding a lot of info that showed that the 3rd fraction was dominant in turf racing. I'm not sure what else to model in terms of factors for turf racing.

Last, does anybody have any modeling info on the profile for turf race winners in terms of factors? I did see a post by Bill Varone talking about the factors that he uses to determine turf race winners but nothing else. I'M INTERESGTED IN ermath's approach (4 factors) and would be interested in hearing besides the 4 factors what else is he or anyone else monitoring in terms of turf races. Any help would be appreciated.
