To FTL

[Bill V.]

wanted to thank you - your willingness to help is most important

I feel your messages are vital and without your help

we All would be picking very inappropriate pace lines

and just throwing anything into the computer /RDSS



Pace and Cap needs you

I would hate to see Doc's life work turned into

nothing more than a scratch off lottery ticket

For us at Pace and Cap
Thank You
Bill

Bill,
FTL posts are there for everybody to read. How many of RDSS users did take notes about FTL posts about his horse racing handicapping knowledge. I for one did copy and paste every one of them, and I use them as reference in my never ending handicapping endeavour.

FTL posts are always very informative,I wish I would have taken notes as well.

I would not mind if he were given his own section on the board

I have to agree with you that FTL should have his own spot on the board.
There is a ton of knowledge there that could help many, love reading his
posts.

[Hoof 11]

I agree, his own section would be a good idea. I have learned some valuable lessons from his posts.

Thanks FTL!

Hi Shoeless. If you want to see FTL's posts again, click on his avatar and you'll go to his page where you can click on 'see all posts by FTL'. There you can go through everything he has posted.
I see Bill has created a teaching thread where he can teach us going forward, but it you want to see past posts, this is where you can do it.

Barb,

Thanks for the info



I see that there is a teaching thread but dont really understand why
FTL'S thread is in the RDSS section,seems a wierd place for it.

Bill,

Quite a timely post for me. It's made me think rather a lot over the last couple of days about how I've been approaching things & made me think back a lot to Richie's Match Up thread and also contender/form cycle guidelines. Even though I'm not a part of the monthly competitions yet hopefully it's ok for me to take part in the teaching exercise(s).

Dave,

Absolutely you should take part! PPs will appear in either RDSS format or DRF/BRIS/Equibase format depending on who's posting and depending on historical excerpts used. It's the same info, and the lessons can be taught and learned regardless of tools. I presume that was FTL's point in choosing to post in the RDSS Contest Forum in the first place.

Anyway, the RDSS PPs are as good as any (and better in many ways, IMO). Where you see advice given to 'not use the computer', substitute that for: don't use the software's analysis tools.
