btw
nothing Jeff and I talk about is my ideas
everything I use came from the methodology
I take the old program variables, which Ted still supports, and I use them the way Jimmy talked about in the Matchup. wish I could say any part of it was mine, but that would be a lie.
Ted has done an amazing job keeping the software running over the years and I think the variables in RDSS that I use are maybe the best version of them ever. This website has all the old manuals and follow ups. I went thru and read all of them a couple years ago and discovered the thing we were lacking was the PoR/PoH Chaos Fractional Vectors and the chart. The chart never really made sense to me, but the numbers seemed very valuable. In true Ted fashion, he added them to the program. Both Howard and Jimmy said that chart and those numbers were what made them great handicappers. They mentioned this a couple times in various manuals and multiple times in the followups.
I was never any good with the Matchup until I used the pace vectors to help me understand the race. That sounds really silly, but different people learn things in different ways. For me, that is the way I came to finally understand how to compare horses within the context of the upcoming race I am handicapping.
If you have any questions, I am glad to help however I can.
