Woodbine info to review: Season opens 3/31!

[Bill Lyster]

Here is a little study I did of the last week of Woodbine from last year - Dec 6-10th. I will post the place, show and 4th place file a little later.

This study started as a result of a comment made to me by Ted Craven. The short story is that I was trying to relate the Perceptor 1 (Per 1) ranking with the Deceleration (Decel) rank to see if I could perhaps find a useful tool that was not already identified within the methodology. Big surprise, Doc Sartin had already got it right!

I will say this. The Per 1 + Decel ranking was most useful at 8.5 furlongs as you can see from the win profile.

The right side of win summary shows whether the win and place horses were found in the top 6 PER, [W/P top6] whether the win, place and show horses were in the top 6 PER, [WPS top 6] whether the first 4 finishers were in the top 6 [1-4th Top 6] and whether my handicapping captured the splitzacta [W/S top 6]

There is a summary worksheet behind the win profile that summarizes %med and E/L info. I only did this for win contenders (so far)

Hope you find this info useful. I for one am looking forward to Woodbine's opening day. Now I only have to hope that the West Coast simulcast geniuses continue to take the feed from Canada.
