First screen is the segments screen. The rest are the the energy screens of the line-up.
What I'm not understanding is in the segment screen, TS + F3 is not how they ran at all (not that I'm looking for a "pick the winners for me" screen). Now the total energy numbers fit a little better but... Maximo, who wasn't in the money, shows as coming in first and has the worst total energy numbers 
They finished 6,1,2 & 5
If you guys want to move this to a different area that's fine.
Help!
Edit: I see we can only upload 5 screen shots. I was going to u/l the pp for the lineup. Can you help with this Bill?

As far as the segments screen is concerned, the only segment that is representative of where you might actually find the horses "on the track" during the running of the race is the F1 segment. This is because the fastest horse to the first call should be the fastest horse in the F1 segment, assuming your lines are correct.
The "F2" segment is telling you how fast the horses are running during the second fraction. This DOES NOT mean the horses will be in the position you see in the F2 segment during the running of the race at the second call.
The "TS+F3" segment represents total speed plus 3rd fraction. Again, this DOES NOT mean the horses will be in this position at the end of today's race.
If you want to make a comparison of how the horses ran, today, versus how you thought they should run, compare your original screen in RDSS to the actual chart of the race. (see below)
Remember, in any program where a single line from a previous race is used, the assumption is always made that the horse will run back to that line. That doesn't always happen for a myriad of reasons. Some horses will "benefit" for a previous race while other may not. The match up in a previous race may have benefited a horse, whereas today's match up does not. The possible scenarios go on and on.
