Hi DSD ( I hate screen names )
As far as your question about distances,In your example above
I would need to know something.
Is the race a zero / than why?
1. Is the only reason the 8.5 race was a zero race because of the 8.5 distance.
What I mean is, lets say in your example the horse shows wins at the 8.5 distance down in its past performance races.
One of the valid excuses from the pace line manual is
Wrong Distance. But I would need to look at the horses history
Every race is different. That is why there is nothing in the valid excuses
list from the pace line manual about more or less than 1 furlong
The question is best answered by " is this race comparable?"
Has the horse won or ran a + race at this distance in the past ?
In FTL's example race a big key to the good price for the winner.
is that the 1.6/1 ML favorite has no comparable pace line

The race in question was the 6th race at Finger Lakes on 9/14, the JackBettaBeRite Hcp. I realize not many on this board play there so didn't think anyone would have the race in RDSS.
I need to clear one thing up. I am not using RDSS but a homegrown program started about 10 -12 years ago. Why? Do I think it is better? "Absolutely not!" I sometimes wonder if I like playing or the time spent on trying to put it together on my own. I do like the fact that I understand where my numbers come from and what they mean. I would have to learn all that by going with RDSS. And there are just so many screens to look at that I am sure I'd be confused for a long time. That is a reason I would never use AllWays software, too much information for me. But it is because of not using RDSS that I can't post screen shots and make my posts clearer. I do try to ask questions that would be askable (if that is a word) by users of RDSS.
Thanks for your time Bill and, ok, the name is Ray.
