One caveat so far about modeling the Tote board Win odds ranks and Tx factors ranks - they are captured after the race has run, so the ranks may change compared to when you need the info - say at less than 2 MTP.

In my anecdotal observation so far (and perhaps for Bill V as well with his 600+ race models including tote?), I'd like to say the ranks don't move more than 1 up or down in general compared to where they are at 0 MTP when you can still make a bet - though that remains to be proven. This is an improvement we could make: capture these volatile tote-related ranks at a user-defined (and perhaps track-specific) MTP, say +1 or 0. Use those pre-race ranks in models instead.
