Regarding the 100 races
First I missed counted the top vdc horse, the top only won 50 not 51 as I posted earlier. Sorry for the mistake.
I stated in that post that New Pace was not doing that well,but as I went over my records I noticed that if I compared the horses from both methods and only used the ones that were listed in the top 3 vdc and were also listed in new pace that the winner was in this group most of the time. 43/50 top horses or 86% 15/22 second 9/11 third horses. In most of the races I got it down to 1 or 2 final contenders for win. Once in awhile I ended up with 3 win horses. Instead of looking at 5 or more horses I am able to separate the ties using the combined method. Dave Schwartz talked about using two different approaches to get it down to only a few horses in each race. He said you should use two very different methods, and IT is my thinking that RDSS & New Pace meet that goal. I tried it today and caught three nice payoffs at Finger Lakes: 11.60, 15.40 and in the last a 34.20 horse. I played 5 races where I only had a total of 12 contenders. In the two races where I had 3 horses I bet the 2 best prices. One ran 2nd beaten by a 4.10 horse that even tho it was one of the final horses I eliminated it for odds. Dave suggested that you should be able to get 2/3 of your winners from 1/3 of your contenders and I think this is coming pretty close. |

New Pace impressions
First off, nice work guys! With enough analysis , we might get down to some workable considerations. I have formed some "impressions" so far that I can share. Perhaps, others will be able to add or subtract from these "impressions". There is no question that what Ted has done in RDSS2 makes NP a faster handicapping approach. It also seems that those with accurate paceline selections can do well (or better) using VDC. If I understand some of Ted's recent input, I think he is looking for collaries, as well as differences in performance between VDC and NP. One early "impression" that I have so far, is that NP works better at lower class tracks, e.g. Mountaineer better than Del Mar. Has anyone come to a similar opinion? Another impression is that when NP and VDC top contenders are alike, there is a very strong betting opportunity. My last " impression" for this reply is that NP, although "automated" must, per se, ignore foreigh horses and first time starters (which also cannot be in VDC readouts), but can be shown to be viable contenders by checking other information found within RDSS. Thoughts?

The current testing module for NP offers Trackmaster SRs and adjusted SRs. If you choose the TM SRs you can get foreign first time US starters because their races have been given a speed ratings.
I think there have been one or more examples at DMR so far this meet. Bill |

larger vs smaller tracks
In the 507 race sample only MNR and TAM would probably be considered as smaller or minor. the best results came from the first version of NP 34/48 wins at MNR and 42/50 at TAM
KEE hit 48/56 and AQU 50/61 as some of the best of the larger tracks, but be aware that hit rates where fields are smaller should be better just from a numbers standpoint (pointedly AQU). This would make KEE a standout. OP hit 39/50. The rest of the tracks studied hit about 2/3rds. Also no apparent bias between dirt or synth tracks. Bill |
