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

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.

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.

We'll hold the horses a bit for you.

Can't wait to hear what other people think of this.

Remember - BUILD USEFUL COMPONENTS!
Not just REPORTS!
If you have too many reports - as I built in the original MY PRIME - it actually dilutes your effort by providing too many answers.

Some Key Points About Reports[/Components
1. Every report should serve a single purpose!
2. You have SIX FIELDS to ANSWER ONE QUESTION.
3. Decide on the question ahead of time, then build the report that answers that question only.
4. The report YOU design should lead you to THE ANSWER you seek.
5. If you need multiple reports to answer a single question, you are probably over-complicating things.
6. You may need to tinker with the order of the fields on a report - comparing different configurations.

Looking Deeper

• Perhaps build a list of questions ahead of time.
• Then prioritize those questions and build them top-down.
• Remember that you should have a short list of components but they should all work towards your chosen end.
• Build your own "Prime Report" and test it across some back races.
• Do not test it across 47 different kinds of races.
• Instead, test against (say) Non-Maiden Races, Older, Fast Tracks.
• Do this before build a whole stable of reports.
• You can build 2 or 3 versions of the same report and do a little simple data study.

Final word: Keep this as simple as possible.

Hopefully you can join a few minutes late?

If we pushed back to 6:00 could you make it?

Very difficult for learned people to do because we specialize in LOGICAL SOLUTIONS.

Not sure what your referring to, you did talk about -- 1. Fixed Error #35 after changing Report Set --
but what I'm addressing isn't the Report Set. It's closing the main screen as stated, am I missing something ? — Jim Parker

Yes.

Problem solved.

I suspect there will be several.

This was discussed and a fix offered yesterday.

So I can't go to 1.0007? — ponyplayer

You can, but there is an upgrade coming in a couple of weeks that will cause you to have to wipe out everything and start over (from v 1.0002 or later) since some key file structures are changing.

Before THAT upgrade you will either have to start over or never upgrade again.

Went back to original install - 1.0000 and extracted.
Ran update 1.0006. — ponyplayer

I can tell you this:
You HAVE blown up everything as v1.0000 will prevent you from EVER upgrading again.

EVER.
There are things under the hood that have now been destroyed and cannot be recovered without a complete deletion and starting at 1.0002.

An upgrade to 1.0006 cannot fix this.

HQx file not writing again. — ponyplayer

I do not know what that means.

I'm still having trouble with the HQ opening It worked this morning but doesn't work now I know you told me that the ini file doesn't help Can't understand why this is happening — Ira Yorn

Neither can I.
Write to me privately and I'll attempt to find some time.

DO you have v. 1.0005?

Fixed.
Took about 6 minutes.
My kind of fix.

Yes.
That's the way we set it up.
I'll have to meet with you later today.
Send me a private message with your availability
