Question about creating a track profile
Hello:
I am trying to create a track profile for Belmont. I am trying to figure out the proper or mean energy distribution. Does anybody know how this is done? How is energy figured, let's say in sprints. I have charted the races so far in the new Belmont meet. Matt D. |

Track profile
I recently read Modern Pace Handicapping. In the book TB suggests making a track profile. I have done this as specified by TB. What I can't figure out is how the numbers for energy exertion at the second call (which range between 52 to 54 for winners at Belmont) relate to the numbers on RDSS. Is there a number some where on the RDSS read out that I can check?

As Bill Says
Matt,
The problem you have here is what I was wondering a little while back. In MPH Tom Brohamer uses %E. This figure is not in RDSS as it was superseded in the Methodology by %M which as I am sure you know is included within the range of information in RDSS. Your choice is to either manually calculate %E for all of the PPs you are considering or to calculate %M whilst compiling your profile. In my opinion going with the %M was the far easier option, but if others have a different interpretation I am happy to listen. |

Dave Edwards: Thanks for your reply. I am new to RDSS. What is %M? Is it anything like %E. I grasped the concept of %E. You create a %E and then you can narrow your choices from there. That's where I get confused with the MPH book and RDSS. The %E on second call for 6 furlongs is usually between 50 and 53 percent in the one track I am profiling. So then the question is how do I compile %M to get an accurate track profile.

Matt,
Check out Follow Up 12. There is a discussion of %M by Dick Schmidt. He presents the basic formula for %M, you 'll have to adapt it for lengths lost/gained between calls & as you know this is covered in MPH. |

Same
Hi Matt
Percent Early and Percent Med are basically measuring the same thing one is adding the feet per second numbers of F1 and F2 and then fining the percentage of that total to the total energy feet per second Percent Med. is adding the percentage of a horses total energy from F1 and F2 You can set your profile to Percent Med or Percent Early you also have the feet per second numbers on the POH screen in RDSS2 Last edited by Bill V.; 09-28-2014 at 10:04 AM. |
