RDSS2 - Adjusted Screen Question
Here's a question, and answer:
Quote:
Answer: The Adjusted screen does NOT show times for the HORSE, those adjusted times are for the PACE-SETTER, i.e. the Pace of Race (PoR) in the same way as the Call Times on the Original screen are for the PoR and not the horse (i.e. for the horse who was in the lead at each call point). The colour coding for the adjusted running times show the ranks of the Top 4 times at each call point. In the Analysis version of the Adjusted screen, Tandem races stand out because they are all colour coded the same way. The Beaten Lengths (BL) are how far behind the HORSE was to the adjusted times at each call point. The BL colour coding matches the POSITION of the horse at each call point, per the Original screen. All the adjusted times are projected to today’s distance and surface, and Daily Track and Inter-Track variants applied per your Configure Settings on Variants. Except for a route line in today’s sprint race, the Beaten Lengths shown match what you find on the Original screen. For extracted sprints today (i.e. an original route line adjusted for today’s sprint race), RDSS uses half of the route’s 1st call beaten lengths (the 4f point) for the extracted sprint’s 2f and 4f adjusted beaten lengths, and half of the route’s 2nd call beaten lengths (6f point) for the sprint’s stretch and final adjusted beaten lengths. THEN – these adjusted running times for the Pace of Race and the Beaten Lengths (adjusted, if required) are used to compute Velocities (both Horse PoH and Race PoR), which are then used to compute the various compound factors (EPR, LPR, CPR, FEW, FX, TPP, VDC, BL/BL, etc). That’s why the order of Tab screens (both for the horse and in the Analysis panel) generally proceed (left to right) from less (or non-) adjusted to more adjusted, more computed, more compounded and ultimately aggregated readouts (i.e. the Line Scores / Odds Line of the BL/BL screen). Regarding your question as to what the combination of Final Times (and sectional times) and beaten lengths is telling you - on the Adjusted screen, you want to pay attention to horses with the faster call times, whose Beaten Lengths are low and preferably decreasing position to position. In general, this indicates horses who have run against a faster pace of race and who have closed against those paces. In the Analysis version of the Adjusted screen, horses whose call times are not coloured, or only yellow or bold (3rd and 4th ranked) are slower adjusted times than the red or green coloured times, and if the selected line (or lines) represent consistently and fairly what the horse might do today – these horses are disadvantaged when matched against the other horses showing more colour – AND their subsequent velocities and other compounded ratings and sorting will reflect that as well. As always – be attentive to a positionally Early running horse who lead against the 1st and 2nd calls (even slower times) when no other horse runs like that, and check that the Segments screen shows the double-red 0.0s at the 1st and 2nd call points – such horses are at risk to ‘steal’ a race if no one will challenge them and then can slow down to conserve their energy. Hope that helps! Ted
