    Sorry if you did not appreciate my answer.

    Thank you for your honesty.

    Understand that my highest priority is, and will continue to be for quite a while, to serve the current clients’ needs through continued development.

    Secondary to that would be people who are seriously considering the software.

    Perhaps a phone call would best serve your questions and still allow me to serve my priorities.

    First a question for you.

    Are you seriously considering a purchase or just curious?
  • Saratoga - Off TwinSpires
    That’s a shame.
  • no early scratches for ellis park; r1 in 40 minutes
    It just happens.
    The data comes from EqB.
    Keep trying.
  • Update - As of July 28
    Not until the upgrade is available.
    Still have more to do.

    The next upgrade is the OUT OF BETA upgrade, so it's a big deal.

    It will be a completely fresh install.

  • EARLY or LATE
    You guys are all right!
    The way this works...

    The RED OBJECT
    i.e. E=1st call, EP=2nd, LP=Not E, SR=Not E or EP.
    ... predicts the running style of the race.

    Another way to look at it is:
    _________________
    RED E Means should be 1st call, possibly 2nd call, but not likely later.
    _________________
    RED EP Means should be 2nd call, but could be 1st or 3rd call.
    _________________
    RED LP Means could be anything after 1st call.
    _________________
    RED SR Means should be Str Call or Last Furlong, but might be as early as 2nd call.
    _________________
    Pay special attention to the SHOULDS versus the COULDS.

    Your answer is the RED pace object.

    Plus/minus 1 call.

    Very interesting, this explains a new screen that I'm seeing "Entries" when I'm looking at yesterday's races.Jim Parker


    That one isn't new.

  • ai line and pct: all horses showing up as c+
    As they should be, yes.

    The Odds are derived from the projected pool percentages, therefore they should be the same $nets and grades.
  • How About a Monday Night Q & A Session?
    My question: How to create a report to determine if a horse is dropping in class today? Also, class in general-- a report to show which horses have the best class (maybe a ranking).Jim Pommier

    Yes.
    That's what I was referring to.
    We'll get to it tonight.
  • BALO Performance
    Any chink in the armor is a BALO. Any magnitude that is not a 1 is a BALO.Dennis

    That sounds right to me.
    Exceptions for turf.

    In fact, I'd leave turf out for now.
    @Dennis
  • BALO Performance
    So, the stats were actually better.
    Hmm... going to mull that.

    Perhaps in the relatively near future we'll be able to capture the data and take a look at grades as well.

    I wonder if, for example, a BALO w/B+ performs differently than a BALO w/D.
  • BALO Performance

    First, really good work on this.

    A few comments to begin
    • I am a little disappointed that they were ONLY -21% losers, but considering that these are the horses who are usually considered the best bet at the track, I can't complain much.
    • I wonder if the Double BALO races might make a difference in that.
    • Also, could take a look at the 1.21 and below BALOs to make it stronger.

    As for your question about smaller tracks, yes, I have seen similar before. I think it ties to top trainers, because at the small tracks there are so few really "top" trainers.
