[mikesal57]

heres a races i hit at philly by doing a match-up...i also was using rdss along side ...

now, i always thought the highest tpr rating gave the best readout for every horse...look at horse #10 with his highest TPR rating he shows below half the field under bl/bl...with his third TPR rating, now hes rated 2nd..
it looks like the "perceptor rating " worked here..
I know theres a legit answer for this...so what should I/we do in the future?

I tend to use the best perceptor figure of the last few comparable and the best EPR figure as starting points.

Nine times out of ten, the best perceptor fig goes to the horse's own highest SR.

You'll also notice that most of the time, the horse with the highest SR comes out on top in BL/BL, the second highest will take the next spot, and so on.

Projectioned or extracted SRs may alter that slightly, as in your example race.

But personally, I don't like to use the best perceptor fig (within the guideline of comparables) if the race has the horse too far behind at the finish. Not that I'm the expert, your own experience may suggest otherwise.

Likewise goes for the "one hit wonder" whose best perceptor fig is from a race in which a horse scores an 80 while most of the SRs hover 7-8 points lower.

Hi Mike

First nice call and win at Philly race 8
I saw your pick in the selections area Once again it was fun rooting home winners

I'm a little confused You are showing a readout from the primary
screen, I don't see TPR numbers. Are you looking at the number for
horse 10 168.56 from line 1 and 167.39 from line 5
These are total energy numbers
TPR numbers are on this screen shot

thxs Bill...i must have said it wrong...when I select a horses paceline ,I always used his best total energy number from his last 3 races..for the #10 it was his last (red) but when I used his 3rd best(yellow) it rated him higher on the bl/bl ...Why is this so?

I hope Ted answers that question

Doc and Ted have explained it to me many times and
like the tall skinny guy from City Slickers about the
VCR clock "I just don't get it" "The cows can do it"


All I can tell you is I dont think I ever saw in the Follow up
to pick the best total energy line
