Guys,
I did study the Advanced NewPace video seminar of Dave's when it was published and have since forgotten most of it - LOL! I keep an eye on the original NP numbers as I go about my handicapping, but I can't say I make many critical decisions from it.
Others have said they find the Advanced version to be superior to the Original, and that may surely be. For me, the usefulness of the Original version (as implemented in RDSS) has been along the lines of:
- a reminder to check these 4 horses to see if they warrant a 2nd or 3rd looks by other RDSS analysis, and
- re the #1 Early NP horse: if it is CLEARLY outgunned in a more detailed Early Matchup analysis, or if it is an E or EP whose F1 is clearly inferior - then the 4 NP horses become 3 NP horses, at least in the Win pool, and this makes exploiting those numbers in Exactas a bit cheaper.
FWIW, and your mileage may vary
cheers,
Ted
