The races will be in PDF Format of course even though there is a little sort of accidental plug for RDSS above which is naturally an awesome way to do the Matchup.

Pook, I agree that RDSS is an excellent tool when it comes to the Matchup!

Hi Guys! I'll accept that as a friendly challenge/invitation to chime in a bit more here (well, chime in at all, I guess ). Too late for me to join the contest challenge, but I will post my comments and process about the featured races that coming weekend after Easter - from my understanding and usage of Matchup ideas, and using RDSS.

If I can, maybe a few new goodies from RDSS 2.1

cheers,

Ted

Just a Reminder

Ted it would be great to have you chime in. You wrote that it is too late to join our contest. Not true!

I just want to remind everybody that anybody can participate at any time. Every valid entry (see players rules and guidelines in earlier thread in this forum) will be scored to your overall ROI. On Dec 31 at the end of the contest, to be counted in the final tally an entrant will have to have played in a minimum of 50% of the races. We seem to do about 2 a weekend. So with approximately 36 weekends left that makes 72 races plus the 8 already gone makes 80 more or less. In theory you could do the last 20 weekends from mid August on and still qualify.

Would love to see some more of the matchup masters that have been on this site for many years show us how they think these things through. Of course all of us are busy but to matchup a race for the experienced is a matter of minutes not hours.

And novices shouldn't be timid about putting up their opinions. You can learn some good stuff while participating about this rather contrarian approach to predicting the future two minutes at a time.

I think, as I have mentioned before, that this will migrate into an honourary buy-in contest next year (meaning if you enter you pledge to send the buy-in amount to the winner at the end). But that will be subject to a vote by this years entrants.

Thanks Mike for that clarification! OK, I'd better roll up my sleeves (although any month now here in Central Ontario I'll be migrating to short sleeves ). Maybe we'll hook up at Woodbine this Spring. I'll be there May 9 again in Champions for Mum's annual Birthday Party: you - and everyone else - are warmly invited!

Happy Easter!

Ted

Food for Taught

Pook I hope I am posting this feed in the right place?

Gents it's bye week, so I went back and look at the races we have capped.
In my contender selection lies 80% of the winners 4/5, my win race is 20% 1/5
I limit my contenders selection to 4 max, that give me a 50% change to pick the winner from my two horse selection.

Looking for some input on how to convert more of that 80% to the winning side.

Cigars Results

Cigar, it looks like you have missed a winner you had on March 7 at Golden Gate. Here is your current chart.
