Folks - I am again welcoming you all to the next live Zoom meeting and discussion about the new RDSS.

Here: https://zoom.us/j/7057894443

Time: Thursday May 15 - 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern Times

Please Note: these particular Zoom meetings are intended to help introduce and familiarize folks with the NEW Leverage/Pace tools, including the new Modeler and soon Tote usage. You are cordially welcomed live to learn more and ask questions about this new component of RDSS.

There will be OTHER live and recorded Zoom meetings to discuss every other aspect of RDSS - including 4-factor Method, Longshot protocols, classic usage focusing on TPR, Velocity, The classic Matchup, Workout Analysis, etc. If you're interested in discussions on such other aspects of RDSS, either to learn or to present - you are most welcomed to contact me and we'll arrange something!

Otherwise - please come prepared to focus on learning these new tools!

See you all then!

Here is the recording of today's video:

http://rdss2.com/rdss.leverage.pace/RDSS.LP.Zoom-Tutorial.2025.05.15.mp4

Included in today's topics were:

1. a handicapping example using the Leverage/Pace approach on CD Race 4, May 15, 2025 - from 2 different angles

2. Questions and Answers about use of CR and CR+ rating, about the + and [+] 'good race' markers on the original screen

3. About the usage and definition of Key Box wagers distinct from a Straight Box

4. A brief demonstration of Exporting data to a Model file, then importing that data into an Excel Model file. (And the promise of a complete tutorial and discussion on Model creation and usage).

5. Discussion on work in progress on adding an Unfiltered Contender view and resulting stats to the existing Model (i.e. show factor ranks and result stats before horses are separated into Primary/Secondary/Non-Contender groups)

6. An Overview discussion on the concepts of NewPace - finding the high/low Speed Rating range - using the sort by Pressured/Unpressured to help winnow down Key Contenders based on their sorted (low - in this case) SR ranks. Acknowledgement that a more complete documentation on NewPace, its derivation and usage should be done soon!
