Yup. I screwed up, again. I originally singled the #8 in the tenth race and last minute added the #1 and took two out of R10, the #3 and #6.

Question about looking at Class of race and class rating.
if I look on twinspires or TVg at avg class rating for gulf race 12 I see #'s around 106,107,108
is that out of 110? How do you know what the "class" of any particular future race is?
for instance Gulf race 1. I can see that the avg "last class" for most of the horses are high 70's or low 80's
how do we know what the avg class is of that actual race?
not sure if that makes sense, but I read people comment about a horse dropping in class, how do you know that they are in a race with lower class? does it depend somewhat on the payout? or some sort power rating of class level per horse?
I don't use those numbers either (class or race ratings)..you need to know the different class levels of the races..when they speak of a horse dropping in class I don't think they are going by numbers ..I could give you a framework if you want..there's some complex conditions but the basic ones aren't hard to understand

jbex, or others
dont laugh at me , please
I’ve never in 20+ years of handicapping even paid attention to those ratings #‘s
chi, great question and I wasn’t blowing you off
i just a little amussed that the form had ratings
I guess you could compare those #’s to like ESPN’s FPi or whatever they use to simulate
- I guess I can’t knock the numbers , but in pari mutual wagering
you’re trying to out handicapp the other bettors , not Bookmakers common line
-Ponder this ,
what if the NFL odds were pari mutual , and not adjusted by anyone or anything , just the market
Nfl team A ( Let’s say Ravens ) vs Nfl team B ( Bengals)
you’d have the line to the point , you couldn’t bet Bengals
I’ll prove a meet can beaten , when NY starts with the 16% take out
and you can put your best nfl handicapper , with a 5% takeout against me
matter a fact , I’ll also out Capp that chosen NFL punter at the same time

understand figure making is an art and not a science but I like some framework with that..i'd have a tough time without speed figures and would just have to go by class..got by without pace figures for a long time with the paper racing form but like to use them now..could manage without them though ..like the brisnet pedigree info and trainer stats

harthebar is a great trip handicapper..biggest edge there is imo..don't do that but respect those who do
very nice hit kona and nice picking kid !! that paid close to double the parlay price..it's a high vig game but getting overlays like that in the horizontals certainly helps a lot

Haven’t heard from you in a while ,
I don’t know , nor care to learn about quarter horses
i don’t enjoy Cali racing as a whole
but of course , i pay attention to shippers
no need to write on the trainers

kid is this the pick 5 strategy you like to employ on occasion
pick 5
2×2×2×2×2 =32
4×4×4×4×4 =1024 (32×32)
if 2 in each leg are "key" horses
if 2 in each leg are "secondary" horses
(for ease of explaining 4 horses total/leg )
main ticket =32 combos
key horses each leg (2) with the secondary horses in each leg (2)
32 ×5 (legs)=160 secondary combos
6 tickets =192 combos
vs 1024 (4×4×4×4×4) combos
so now if 4 of 5 of your key horses win and the losing leg is won by a secondary horse you hit the pick 5..and that's reasonable expectation..if you miss one leg with your mains should be your secondary picks that saves you

I still feel sick you didn't hit that too. Santana doesn't do a "paco" and pushes button top of stretch we both Hit and it pays 3K+

Glad the input is paying off
that’s a big score for this time of year especially
that makes No Parole look that much better the way he beat liams horse yesterday
im a true believer in comparing horses as the number #1 handicapping edge we got over public money
made a thread about it
Great job with the numbers. Helping each other out and putting the puzzle together is great . That's what it's all about

Kid,
Question...Why do you pay attention to shippers? How is that factored into handicappin Thoros...
I'm an old harness guy.....whats the parallel for Pacers?
