thx coach

I only need the top pick in each race 1-10 unless you or anyone would like it scored differently.

BTW
On my pic3 plays, turns out R3 and R7 are Pic4's...so total minimum cost is $55.00

Ray,
Interesting and informative thread. Does Bot2 have a build in tiebreaker? Also, my guess is that all these factors are not equal in value; if you were developing this further would you give some more weight than others?
Great job! :jump: Rich

[Ray2000]

I'm using Excel's tie-breaking Rank formula:

RANK(horse,entries,0)+COUNTIF(horse:entries)-1

which gives the highest rank to the lowest post number among the ties.

As for the weight to give to each factor, that's the toughest decision of all.

I built a spreadsheet once that lets the user decide how much weight to give to the factor ranks.

That spreadsheet (SulkyPicker.xlsm) is now at this address

It has Pocono loaded for today, you can play around with the factor weights.

This is all good stuff. I REALLY need to sit down with the Sulkypicker and just figure it out. I am at that point of wanting to try out some new angles with weights but want to do it over a large batch of races to see what happens.
