Pace and Cap - Sartin Methodology & The Match Up - View Single Post - Bad RDSS Race Data for several Euro Horses

Patrick,

Not all Euro horses' PPs are incorrect. Please refer to some of Bill Lyster's posts in this BC Forum to see some of the incorrect info he has identified, or you can do it yourself for any Euro horse entered in a race - just bring up the PPs for that race and horse from the Equibase link provided and double check if (usually) the last line is the correct distance and final time.

If you are not making betting decisions in such races based on raw time and running line info only (i.e. you rely on velocities and the normal Sartin Methodology compounded ratings to analyse these races) - then you will likely be skipping races with very many well regarded foreign horses, and inaccuracies in their RDSS PPs will not be so relevant to you. But if you do want to make such judgements, then update the incorrect RDSS info (again, usually for the last race only, and see Bill Lyster's compilations) and have at it, and best wishes!

I have not yet released the 2nd RDSS 2.0 Beta. You're in the Testing group, so you'll get the notice along with everyone when it is ready. Still working on a bunch of things (and now, one more thing ...

)

Stay safe on the road - good luck in your wagering while at PID!
