Question is there an explanation chart that explains all the fields inside RDSS software?

I,m new to RDSS, and most of the fields names I don't understand what they mean, and therefore I can't use the values properly !

Some are preatty easy and logical, but the mayority are not, at least for the new comer like myself!

Is there a chart that explains all the fields in every tab, and what value that that particular field represents?

Kind regards!

Rafael.-

Here is another:

The best and most comprehensive descriptions (so far) come from Follow Ups #70+ in the Sartin Library.

FWIW, later this week I should be able to post a new Video Seminar conducted in 1998 by Doc Sartin, which goes over many of the terms as well as lots of relatively modern concept from the Methodology. Stay tuned.

Ted

Ted a quick question, after reading the glossary that you and Nets kindly let me know existed, I still could not find the definition for SC in the Velocity window, and my curiosity is because, I find it to be a figure that is very good in finding possible winners !

Well, thanks again !

Rafael,

Welcome to PaceandCap! (I have fond memories of trekking in the deep south of Venezuela around Angel Falls, also beyond Merida in the Andes!)

SC stands for Second Call. In this Pace of Horse Velocity screen, it is the average velocity (feet per second, adjusted) from the beginning of the race through the 2nd call point (4f for sprints and 6f for routes). The information is shown using other numbers (though the same rankings) on other screens: SC on the Segments screen and EPR (more or less) on the TPR+E/L screen and BLBL screen summary.

You are right that it is a valuable indicator of a horse's ability to position itself by this critical marker in a race (different percentage of race completion according to distance) - BUT, it's general usefulness is subject to what performance it is able to render in the important Final Fraction (F3), and relative to what other horses are doing in their own 2nd call relative to final fraction efforts (the complexity of the matchup and relative energy disbursements).

I also suggest you keep a model of factors which are Composite factors, such as CPR, TPP, and importantly BLBL and VDC, which include BOTH the effect of 2nd call performance AND 3rd fraction performance and the critical deceleration in the 3rd fraction relative to the 2nd call performance.

You can either simply observe these factors in any given race, or also model them by surface, track and distance or distance structure using the Export to Excel feature. For more on modeling, please see the Release Notes for that version - V0.99.1 I think - as well as Richie's excellent (and humorous) video. You don't have to do modeling of factors, but it is an advanced piece of the puzzle.

Hope this adds light, rather than confusion!

Ted
