Played your FTS reports on the 4 Indiana race 1 and it hit at 8/5. Man, I'm sorry but not going to be able to make tonight's meeting forgot that my FB draft is tonight. Good work though guys!

Thx guys! I will try to make it to the meeting tonight!

Hey guys, what is the report name for this analysis?
Thx!

Great discussion guys! Man, there is very little doubt in my mind that there are different levels of BALO's and that we will be able to improve our level of success in them. For instance, I have noticed that if a horse may have a rank of 2 and a margin of 2 on only 1 of the pace lines it is most likely a marginal BALO at best. If it doesn't rank at all on several lines, it is a strong BALO. I am beginning to think that we need a tool to calibrate the AI so that we may make it stronger or at least make our elimination processes stronger.

Great job Jim! Love the Jocky switch angle!

Confidence level would be great!

I'm up for it!

First step: I go through the tracks I play and open each race. If the AI won't play it neither will I.
Second step: I hit AI HCP and then open the AI Race and only play Chaos 5 races.
These steps are done the night before or early in the morning, so that I'm fresh for the first race I play and approach it without feeling rushed or any anticipation.

So, if I'm reading your comments correctly there are some chaos 5 races where you do not get the error message that reads "The Engine Declines to handicap this race"?

I'm confused because you mentioned you use only chaos 5 races and I thought AI does not handicap any Chaos 5 races?

I'm thinking if your betting DD Pic3, Pic4, Pic5 just take all in Chaos 5 races and it might be your money ticket. Thoughts?

How about the shortcuts? I already downloaded the file to my downloads folder. Also didn't we have to do something with our user and PW at HDW?

Yeah guy's, this program is incredible! I have always thought I was a pretty good handicapper, but this is making me about 3 to 4 times better I believe!

Thx all!

TY!

Yes that is what I was thinking too! How can you have a BALO if there is no pace to compare to? But you do have ranks and magnitudes to compare to I assume. Also, I believe Dave sort of likes to avoid these races, but they are my favorite races! LOL

Dave, got ya we will save it for a later date!

Yes, I know several trainers and exercise rider's ex jocks mostly. I have found that most trainers are terrible at handicapping a race. I have no idea why maybe they have to many other things to worry about. Also, most of them all think they will win the race Imagin that LOL. But you can really get quite a bit of good information on young horses how they are doing etc. Then if a trainer lets you know how they are going to approach the race, pace wise that can be very valuable information for us handicappers in determining race shape. The exercise rider's are great like way better than clockers! They know how they are gliding accross the track, breathing, energy levels, how they come back after working etc.

I mostly use Ed Tuckers TM racing data. It is like DRF or brisnet but I feel it has way better numbers to the two I mentioned. I also use Betmix but really only for video and tracking pedigree. I am big into pedigree and make all bets but lean more towards horizontal betting. Also, my best profits come from my watch horses that I submit when I see a runner that looks like can win a lot of races. Most of the horses I put in this watch list are young horses with a bright future. Also, from owning racehorses for so many years I have quite a few connections that let me know when a horse may be ready to win. Look forward to working with you all!

How many HSH users do we have? I have a feeling those users are going to have a leg up and can probably get us nonusers up to speed.

Yes Who Doctor Who was a legion there! I remember they setup a 3 horse race, The Doctor and the first horse to win a million-dollar purse Gate Dancer and I can't remember the other horse LOL. Also, the great Jack VanBerg would kick ass there! Fun times!
