  • Understanding Reports - 001 The Basics
    "In my research I came across the work of Osborne Reynolds, a 19th century English physicist and engineer whose area of interest was “turbulence” (fluid mechanics). In 1883 Reynolds, by experimenting with pipes of varying sizes, was able to come up with a number, (now known as the “Reynolds number”) that tells engineers when a fluid system will reach turbulence."

    So how does this relate to horse racing? Dave lays it out in detail here:

  • How About a Monday Night Q & A Session?
    I'll be there. Can't wait!!
  • I think I broke it...
    If it was going to happen, it had to be me.
    Story of my life.

    Let me know when.
  • I think I broke it...
    I'm on v 1.0006 now and it is working correctly.

    So I can't go to 1.0007?
  • I think I broke it...
    HQx file not writing again.

    I'm on version 1.0006.
    Tried reinstalling update 1.0006 and still didn't write.

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

    Worked.

    Any ideas on what would cause the HQx file to not write
    (file is there, just empty)??
  • AI Robo call: A Shockingly Real Conversation
    WOW!!

    AI is becoming frightening with how good it is getting.

    Next thing you know, someone will be taking the
    technology over to betting on the horses.

    Then you really need to be scared!!
  • I think I broke it...
    1.0002 installed and working properly.

    THX!!

    Windows screen shot:

    Windows key - shift - S
    all 3 at the same time will give you a drag window
    on your screen. Drag it (hold down left mouse button
    and hold it down) to cover what you want.
    When you release the left mouse button, it will copy
    your box to the clipboard. Then, just paste to where you want.
    Put cursor where you want the window. Right click and then paste.
  • I think I broke it...
    Upgraded to 002 and still didn't work.

    Went to laptop and copied 001 full folder and overwrote
    all files on desktop.

    Tried to open HQ. HQ opened ok.

    Upgraded to002 and opened HQ. HQ opened ok.

    I'm fixed.
    Thanks Dave!!
  • I think I broke it...
    I know we haven't made any objects yet, but if you reinstall,
    will you overwrite created objects or do we need to copy and
    rename object files to keep them from being overwritten?
  • I think I broke it...
    Main desktop.

    Should I just reinstall from original version 000?

    Will upgrade 002 overwrite permissions or should I start with 000?

    Will reinstalling 000 overwrite my data files or do I need to
    redownload?

    Message on bottom:
    Browsing the HQx file

    Never finishes browsing

    HQx file is a .csv and it is empty.
  • Error loading to 2nd computer
    Fixed. Not sure how or why, but I restarted
    my machine and went back to the program
    and it opened ok.

    1st question IT Help always asks: "Did you reboot
    your machine?" Maybe they're not as dumb
    as we all think they are.
  • First timer races/BALOS/Everything else
    I use JCapper and it makes up a pace figure. I've
    never looked at it carefully to check its accuracy.

    Is it something created out of nothing? Maybe workouts
    or other siblings or pedigree?

    I skip most all races where most starters have less than 3 starts.
  • First timer races/BALOS/Everything else
    Aren't BALO's mostly predicated on pace?

    If all are first-time-starters, none have a pace number
    to compare.

    At least that is what I thought was said. Anyone else hear that?

    re: "I know it is countdown to Terminator Time"
    Darn. Forgot Dave is on Pacific time. I could have sat
    here for another hour in my underwear before major
    reconstruction was necessary.
  • Track Notes
    If I still have my Christmas lights up from last year, does
    that count as almost Christmas this year?

    And the rest of you??

    How many of us are in on the beta release? How many do you think
    we should limit the group to so it doesn't get too wild on the calls?
    How do we get all the smart guys so the rest of us dummies can
    learn faster?

    I can set up a Zoom call for us once a week to get through the release.
    Then see how it goes after? How about 8 eastern -7-6-5 pacific for a
    call time. Too late? Too early??

    Wednesday evening is my best night for now. Monday and Friday are
    2nd choice. I get my fat butt to yoga class on Tuesday and Thursday
    and would prefer other nights.

    Chime in!!
  • Some good news - I should be able to bet from Reno again!
    Are you going to leave some money for the rest of us?

    After the ADW's put such a huge hit on the odds, now
    you get back in there do it a 2md time!

    Racing may never recover.
