Bob Cochrans' APV Angle

[Lt1]

I came across this a few yrs ago. Bob gave it out a a mid west seminar or workshop[can't remember which]. He had discovered that if there was more then a 1.40 or more point difference between the top 2 APV horses the #2 horses was hitting the ex a fair amount of the time. Here is a screen shot to illustrate what you ate looking for.



As you can see the #6 has an APV # of 4.14 while #2 has an APV # of 209. What you do is divide the 414 by 209 giving you a difference of.1.98. The 2 is an angle horse [it won the race]. Most examples won't be be this glaring but you will get the feel for it. A word of caution - Bob also stated that you may go days without an APV horse and some days you may find 2 or 3 on a card. I can attest that this true since I've employed this angle since I discovered it. So those of you who play exs or tris may want to test this angle out. I haven't done a survey on how many times it hit the ex[if I remember Bob gave a #] Anyway I found the angle still works today. I will start a survey today and those deciding to employ it should to. Once again thank you Bob for having shared this with the Methodology group.

Tim,

Thanks for resurrecting that little nugget. I think I saw it work today at least once.

We have Bob to thank for it. I have started a survey to see how the angle works in todays'
racing.

Well, not exactly on point, but the sub feature at Tampa yesterday showed this. The 5-7 and 10 were tightly grouped around the big APV on the 6

The race finished 5-7 with the 6 off the board. The 5 was 2.9/1 and the 7 was 8.2/1.

More from AQU yesterday:

In race 5 the 1 won at 4/1




In race 8, the 6 won at 4/5, not a winner per the angle.


Tam races 6 and 7 yesterday In race 6 the 2nd APV placed; in race 7 failed;

TAM 9 the 2nd APV placed.
