tough call
Hi Ted
Tough one, I did not go to line 4 so my RX+ did not have the 1 in my contenders Bill |

I tried all the ways I know how to make sense of this, and it just seemed inscrutable. So I watched. Hope all our friends still in Saratoga enjoyed the day and this finale weekend to the season.

I'll be there tomorrow for the windbreakers and on Monday, I'll be there in spirit as I have a family engagement. Paying my last respects to the Spa at the end of the season is always bittersweet, but makes me look forward to the year ahead.

I didn't play this race, but I ran it through my profile to see how it looked. I did go back to the Oct-17 race for the paceline for the 1. The only way I see, being honest, I might have included the 1, is .... I do look at the relative rank in the Rx screen, with all the lines I use for my speed rating calculations for each horse. That gave me the 10, 9, and the 1.
What is remarkable about this race (to me) is the relative equality in ability of many if not most of the runners. I've developed some "quality" ratings which quantify the relative advantage of the top two in my calculations (for my dutch) over the next three runners. I've never seen such low relative advantage numbers.... terrible actually. If I had considered this race, I would never have bet it ... there was no advantage to be had, by my eval. |
