Hello All,


Have a quick question and hoping someone can help.



When looking over the horses in AODDS you sometimes come across a name and an X ie, Spirit Special <X> - does anyone know what the X was for? I’ve been all over the manual but can’t seem find it.



Thank you.

Terry, the memory fades, but is it possibly 'highly indicated' or 'best bet' or the like?

"Need to Lead"


Correct answer.

I'll accept that's the answer. Though Spirit Special running in PRX 8th Race today (http://paceandcap.com/forums/showpost.php?p=121705&postcount=2) is not the first example of a Need to Lead horse which comes to mind (per the above link), hence my guess. ( It's a deep closer).

According to the Aodds 98 help file manual, under "All about the auto-modler", it is clearly stated that an X next to the horses name indicates a "Need to Lead" type horse.

PS..I do NOT show Spirit Special with an "X" indicator in that race. The only horse in that race with the "X" indicator was #2 Pnutbutter

Thanks All.


Not sure if my example actually had a <X> as I was just trying to give an example of how it would look.



Haven't had the chance to get the auto mod to work as I haven't entered that many results as of yet.



Thanks all.


JimG - do you still use AODDS?

Hi Jim,

I see where you are coming from.
I feel the same way.
The game isn't the same anymore.😞

I can't speak for anyone else but I've certainly changed if not the game. Too old to get fired up.

The X stands for an Inactive Tandem Horse.

Hello Ted
Do you know where i might be able to get a copy of the free version of Jim Bradshaw's AODDS SILVER PROGRAM.
I have looked in the archive's without a lot of success.
Wishing you the best of luck in the future.

Hi

My friend has Aodds Gold(1998), He's dusting it off after using Mike Pizzola's Black Magic and Handicapping Magician.

Is Aodds Gold(1998) relevant or has someone developed a better program in the last 20 years?

If you can keep records MPH is a far better program, written by Ken Messa. Just making note of the winners AP EP & SP and a very accurate way of giving the distance a class number will enable the average Joe to know what is aberrant and to leave alone. That alone will put anyone in better position than 80 % of the para mutual pool. Ken Messa has the full blow HTR product that does that and more but the downside is your into the data for all cards like $140 per month. The early MPH you need to take control of your old parallel port with software.

Imagine still using software that needed to address the "parallel port"

And people wonder why I created that thread a few weeks ago...

Addendum: Ken Messa does not sell software, I was not plugging an advertisement. I mentioned to be helpful and think his work is superb.

Addendum: Ken Messa does not sell software, This isn't entirely true, but you knew that already.

Ken gets a cut of the data fees paid by those who use his software. Can't use the software without the data files. And the more people that use the software, the more data fees he gets.

And I have zero problem with people talking about HTR or Ken Massa...for the record.
