Thank you Jack!

From David Richardson, "Yes we are close with Dennis Drazin in NJ and have been well aware of his efforts" was the response to whether the Stronach folks are monitoring Fixed Odds at MTH.

I just sent an email to Georganne Hale and another executive inquiring if they are monitoring this effort.

Two important states? Not MD?

It is a step in the right direction, I am going to put the bug in the Stronach folks.

How about a releasing a Beta version?

Every study I have ever done indicates that no variant outperforms any variant. — Dave Schwartz

So why not just use raw times?

Ray,

How have you applied "HTMA" for the horses?

There is an old saying, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts", that is a definition of synergy.

I also suggested for Dave to patent the acronym "BA LO" for future royalties $$$. Also, I believe a more effective measure of BALO is ROI.

I am not sure where BOLO comes from, I see that verbiage used on Chicago PD to track the bad guys.

My next line is I was the jockey. So don't say "bad ride", it was just nerves.

Hey that was my 10k bet you're making fun of.

I just want to confirm that this is a re-post from a few years back?

I am asking because in the KD Zoom meeting you were confident in your 2022 process.

As usual...thanks or the intel.

Wanna hear something funny? Actually, have you ever asked someone that question and get a "NO" for a response?

That's not what's really funny. I didn't have my glasses on when you wrote

BALO - I like it! — Dave Schwartz

I read it as BALD - I like it!

What is #BALO for?

Tony,

If you provide me a list of your VF (maybe a spreadsheet) I will do some research and report back to the team if I discover something. OK?

One was a lack of early speed and the other was Jockey/trainer combo (but only on weekdays).

Dave/Ranch,

I COMPLETELY agree on this principle. We should be heavily researching the races with a positive expectancy (to draw from my financial background). Everyone on the forum would immediately turn into a winning player if they mastered the "BA LO horse" and Dave you should copyright/patent your term for this situation!

I once helped a guy structure a P3 ticket:
All-5-All twice
All-5-3 twice
All-5-4 twice
He hit it 4 times. The horse in the middle leg was Easy Goer, who won with win odds of 2/5 against 3yo's after beating older two weeks earlier (as sure as it gets). The P3 paid $1,600 (x4). So, this guy got better than 13/1 on a 2/5 horse. — RanchWest

WOW nice story! Thanks for sharing it.

Team,

What a diverse group of programmers. YEAH. I am proficient in Excel, Access and VBA. I hope I fit in with this group of tech nerds. Will trade programming for baby food (or more likely handicapping help) but I am only fluent in English. I hope you appreciate the humor.

HAHA try getting that tune out of your head.

I can do all you ask above plus VBA coding to customize Excel or an Access database. I was a software consultant for 20+ years.
