Dear Alydar Dave:

Thank you. I checked out the thread and it helps to some degree. However, there are many abbreviations that either are not in Spec150 or that are in Spec 150 and not listed. I really appreciate your help and the post from Shoeless. It did help, but I can still use some additional help.

Hi Gary,

ok let's take it screen by screen

here is screen 1 - Energy generator

from left to right:
SR- Speed Rating form the paceline selected

Total - Total Energy for the paceline selected( higher is best)

HE - Hidden Energy - Compunded rating- Fractions 2 and 3

FX - Compounded rating - Fractions 1 and 3

% Med - Median energy of the horse's paceline - similar to the old % early u are probably familiar with

E/Ep - Early energy potential - Early pace also factoring in total energy

L/EP - Late energy potential - Late pace also factoring in total energy

TPP - Total pace potential - What it says

Bal - Balance - The adding of E/ep and L/ep ranks together - This is VERY powerful tool Gary. When reducing a field to 5 contenders any horse showing Balance of 9 or higher is a HUGE negative.

ESP - Computer generated ESP based on energy distribution NOT positioning or visual

this is the e/l or early/late Difference graph. shows how a horse distributes its energy

stick to the right shows he runs early
stick on or very close to the center line shows an even balanced runner
stick to the left shows a runner who runs late

degrees of ear and late are shown on the bottom of screen
e-even
me- medium early
ve - very early
ex-e - extreme early
ml - medium late
vl - very late
ex-l - extreme late

SUPER KEY SCREEN

Incremental match up graph

shows velocities of the horses at 1c- then 2c - then 3rd fraction and total pace combined

for those who like to see moves "within the race" this screen showing turn time movers in fraction 2 is good

Match up screen showing beaten lenghts

this screen turns the velocity numbers into beaten lenghts for a much easier and more understandable "look" at the matchup.

On THIS screen the 2c showing is velocity positioning at the 2c and NOT turn time like the previous screen ok?

Others MUCH better versed in this software such as Tompkins, Del mar Scott, Ted C, Kiltman, NoDub all really LOVE this screen.

Long shot detector screen

Gary to be honest I have NEVER used this screen and really don't know what the heck it is or does ok?
