A Odds Gold - Pace and Cap

shoeless · 07-19-2006, 11:06 PM

A neat feature that I didnt know about but Houndog turned me onto it.After you get down to your contenders if you print the pp's only those horses will be printed.It sure makes it easier to look at the race that way if you are used to the DRF.Jeff

Hi Shoe, Im still working with the help file with aodds gold98 here and it has a feature where you can freeze the paceline of a horse(s) that you consider a non factor yet whos running style can still have an outcome on the pace.
Interesting stuff. Best Doug

Do any of you work with the Auto-Block feature? With a little local knowledge of your racetrack and shippers you can set up Aodds to automatically Block pacelines coming from that track. For instance Blocking TUP lines for Del Mar races. It seems like a nice feature to me.

Hiya Hound, no not yet on the auto but I can certainly see where it has its uses. Like you stated it seems best to use when you do have some local track knowlege. Im interested in the super/mega check after of course selecting the proper pacelines, sure looks interesting.

All:

You are mentioning a few of the reasons I have been using Aodds Gold 98 for years.

Hi Gary, Yes I now can understand why you use 98gold. Randy K. put alot of thought in this program. I told him even though he is noi longer selling nor providing support that I thought this program was years ahead of its time.
I made a hardcopy of the entire help file as there are so many ways to set up how one can use this. Still working on it so hopefully I wont bother you with questions that are covered in the manual

take care Doug

Hi All,

I have used WorkHorse Pro for years, also written by Randy Kovach, and am familiar with Aodds Silver. I never got a chance to try Aodds Gold 98. Can somebody give me some info on how to possibly acquire it? Thanks in advance.

Jim

Thanks Gary

As i said Ill do my best first to read and review first before asking. Again thanks alot!!
Interesting sideline here, at Horsemans park here in Omaha, ( home of the once great Ak-Sar-Ben and the burial site of the great horse Omaha, the horse is still there but they have no clue where even when they were doing the demo!) they had a race yesterday and the starting gate (tractor died LOL) was stuck after the horses were off! No injurys but the all wagers were refunded as at the end the entire field ran thru a 10 foot space! Im sure this will be on the news as well as the many race sites.

Again thanks so much Doug

Aodds Gold (Version 5 DOS) & Energy Correlation

Has anyone found any of the readouts in Aodds to correlate with the major fields from Energy? I mean back then when the program was written most likely the Hat would have had to disguise some of the numbers so that they didn't look like Sartin numbers, but most likely some of them are just a scaled version of an already successful Sartin formulas. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and we all know the formulas in Energy work so some of these readouts will most likely have been reused.

For Instance in Energy we have the MUV, Total Energy, %Median & UXR. Has anyone figured out how these relate to the Aodds fields PP+, Aodds+, TS, V/R, ESR, LSR, TSR?

Here is where I am going... looks like in most cases Aodds gets the job done without ever having to use Energy. What I am trying to say is most of the time Energy will not get you a horse that Aodds missed and tends only to confuse the decision making process. I am trying to get to the point where I trust Aodds exclusively and to do this requires that I understand how the various Aodds readouts relate to one another.

Keeping in this line of thought...

1). Is there an Aodds readout that works like %Median that can be used to eliminate horses who's are over or under the model?

2). What reading is equivalent to Energy's MUV & UXR?

3). What readouts in Aodds are worth modeling?

I realize that that these questions would be better put to Jim or Randy, but Jim would just most likely say... Don't worry about it and just use it if it works.
