I do it the same old way every single day.
Pick the contenders, throw out the pretenders, pick lines for the contenders and let the program of choice do its' thing.
Why should it be any different now than back then?
Let's say you are using RDSS and downloading files from Trackmaster.
When you open the race card for today, it's like opening the Racing Form to the track you want to play. When you open one of the races in RDSS, it's like turning to the page in the Racing Form to the race you want to play. So where is the difference?
From what I have seen, it isn't the downloading that is different, it's the "approach" that is different.
Years ago, the idea was
NEVER to pick a line for
EVERY HORSE in the race and then try to "get down" to five contenders. The idea was to pick contenders, regardless of how many there were. Maybe you would get 8, maybe you would get 1. In other words, you
HANDICAPPED the race in order to get your contenders,
THEN you picked lines for them,
THEN you entered them into the computer program.
There is nothing different today just because you download race files rather than purchase a Racing Form.
