Models Past Results
 

I searched for an answer this, likely asked before…..

We can capture our handicapping results and put them in models.
Can we convert actual results to RDSS factors and put them in models?

We can't do that -- yet. I presume you mean, made models (or rather, Profiles) from Result Charts, rather than selected Past Performance lines.

It is on my higher priority To Do list, for 2024 (along with revamping and automating the whole PP line model process, bringing it into RDSS, new Excel templates, etc). If you subscribe to Result Charts (i.e. 'Bundle') data plan, the idea is that when the Chart for a race is available about ~20 minutes after race closing, you import it into the RDSS database, then that line (i.e. TODAY's race) becomes Line 0 in an updated set of PPs for today (i.e. what it would look like next time the horse races). Then, when you export the 0th line (i.e. this race) for each horse, you get a Profile of today's race, finish position, closing odds, payouts, etc. Then make whatever track profiles you like.

Is this better than - or additionally useful to - Models from rigorously chosen PP lines? Feel free to weigh in on that. Everyone. Sartin made use of that, but to what final extent, not sure - in a nitty gritty sense.

I am glad it is on your list.
How do I import the results into RDSS? I subscribe to the bundle but I have never seen line 0 in the excel file. Do you have a video on this?

I tried importing the results but had no luck.

Sorry if my initial reply was not clear. You can't do that yet - that's what's coming. With the Bundle plan, currently you can see the Result Chart of any Past Performance line by right-clicking on the Race Id column on the Original screen.
