1. are there other, sprint lines which confirm the energy distribution extrapolated from the route. In this case (see RDSS E/L screenshot above) the 2 other sprints for the winner confirm it is the latest of all the runners, confirmed by the several top L/ep readouts for the same horse. Although the Total Enrgy is low, it is consistently distributed late (route or sprint), for whatever use can be made of those facts today. 2. Has it run well (or at least forwardly) in sprints before (ever?) 3. Longer odds are insurance against failure this time, and permit you to bet an entry along with another horse and still get decent net odds. I would be leery of making such a horse a bet based only on the extracted route. As I mentioned (and I think I am agreeing with FTL's comments), this horse was an unlikely candidate to win and might have been bet (at least by me) only out of a side bankroll or portfolio. But perhaps a timely and temporary E/L profile benefitted it (and some fairy dust...). (Apologies for mixing RDSS examples in this Speculator Forum - it's the same info, and it's what I have handy. The E/L discussion transcends software used, though.) Ted

Evaluations are based upon HOW THE HORSES HAD RUN IN THE EARLIER RACES ON THE CARD. Of course one would not NORMALLY use lines like that BUT the anti-speed bias that day altered all that.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY is what tempers evaluations, not some theoretical "balanced" pace as is taught around here. The track changes and the gleaning of winning e/l numbers race to race tells you which way it is biased, IF ANY.

Thanks to both you guys for your replies.
I typically 'love' the turn-back horse but I also need more than a single factor to play such a steed as you pointed out Ted. This is what makes RDSS -- or Spec or Val or even the older raw velocity programs of Sartin Past -- such outstanding tools. You can use a reading or corollary to play horses with confidence that simply might not muster up in conventional handicapping circles. Plus, a single 20- or 30-1 winner makes up for many of those that might come up short and lose, heaven forbid. I also think some racetracks are more kind to the turn-back horse. And, as you, Tim, have pointed out countless times, if you know your track and its' idiosyncrasies, and you know the type of demands that such a track requires, you're way ahead of the crowd by many lengths. And when there is a deviation to the norm, then it is almost a license to steal by looking at those horses that are below the radar, so to speak. |
