Also, the #1, Queen Daymar, is rank 1, magnitude 1, yet is a grade A+ ? That made no sense. I did not have her as a contender. I use the 0Whales report plus 'Ira's object' (posted elsewhere in this forum) and select Reynolds2 horses that have a value of 1 or 2 as contenders.
I realize that the post was not about this particular horse but I just wanted to be thorough.

This is an interesting race for a couple of reasons.
It shows the value of looking for a BALO and what to do if the high percentage horse(s) is not a BALO. I require a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 contenders. In this race I was only able to find 3. I used the collective speed/collective power lists (click the 'Deep' button to see them) and the 4 horse, Streaking Grey, fit the bill as a 4th contender. The high percentage horse wins at 3/5 and the 4 is second at 20-1and the exactor pays $34.
I'm coming around to the BALO concept. If a top pct horse is a BALO I may still take it on top over my other contenders if it's real odds make it betable. Mostly, though, I make them place horses only.
In this race, I took the legit nonBALO high pct horse, #2, with 3 others at $2 each and then reverse them over the high pct horse at $1.
The lowest paying exactor, 2 over 8, was paying $10 so I went with it. I'll get better at betting eventually. :wink:

@Dave Schwartz
Okay, I understand.

Yes, mine is set to show maxes of 3 and 2 but Jim gets blanks for odds, pct, $net and Opt%. I know why my rank & mag were blank.
I see that you can post a screen shot, when I try it nothing pastes. What are you doing different?

Parx R9, the 5 and 7 show odds for me but, again, no rank or mag. In neither race could I make the missing horses contenders even though here they finished 1st & 3rd. :wink:

That race happened to be my big winner yesterday. The #6 shows odds, pct etc on my system but no rank or magnitude.

Jim, what was the other race that had blanks?
edit - okay I see it was race 9, let me look at it.

Dave, is there a way to paste a graphic into a post on this forum?

We need at least one post here in order to send a PM. This is mine.
