Playing Saratoga's short meet is very difficult to profit from especially if you are playing pick 4 and 5's. The results are difficult to predict with any software program. a friend of mine hit a huge pick 5 payout at Saratoga that made the meet 34K. He told me that two of legs he would never have those winners in a million years b/c of the chaos, so he picked priced horses. He had to go all in 1 leg and 6 horses deep in another. I love Saratoga but I only play a low percentage of my bankroll there. Randomness takes over big time at that track. If you are willing to put up 300/400/500$ on every pick 5 you play, then you can get lucky. Big losing streaks eat away at the bankroll. I looked at probably 12 pick 5's that meet and played 1 of them. Keep grinding b/c one small meet doesn't make your year!

It's Belterra park!! what do you expect. somebody came along and placed a 500 win bet. :rofl: I remember one night I loved a horse at CT and the odds were 9/1. I bet 800 to win on the horse and knocked the horse down to 5/1. the closest I came to being a CAW.. :rofl:

The horse had two recent A workouts as well. Definitively not a hidden horse.

How many programs do you need. i would say overkill!

Big thanks to Dave and Brian!

New York will be without Aqueduct soon enough.

The game is slowly dying in the US. Overseas racing is where it's at.

Dave, condolences to you and the family!

Wow I just talked to him not long ago when he got back from Thanksgiving break from Michigan. RIP!

don't forget these are the best horses in the field. traditional handicap or biases will not hold up. This is why on breeders' cup day I take shots! GL!

I dont' think it's the horseman's money. Sharper players money for sure.

The issue I have is you think you are betting a 10+ horse but after the gate opens its +1. Value moved to another horse. 2/3 of the winners are bet down after the gate opens.

Thanks Jim M for that info. Wasn’t able to make last night.

Hi Jim, so reyonlds 2 means that a horse finished first one time in the object and then 2 in another part of the object even if the horse was 6 in another, etc. for example owhale object: the 5 horse may be ranked 1 in psr and 2 in cpw and the other 4 objects ranked 4th. it takes the best two. 1x2=2 rank in Rey. Hope this helps.

I will be there. look forward to it.
questions:
1. How do we create an object? with many factors? less?
2. what factors in HSH are worth using for turf races? pedigree?

Dave how do I get rep handicapping? Mine is blank when I hit REP

I've come across quite a few chaos 5 races that the AI will handicap.

thank you for sharing, Ken!

Jim in the video I posted above. look at the 40 minute mark.
