September 1st of last year you came here asking for a way to separate the contenders in a race. And, less than 8 months later...you are netting $500 a day with an ROI ranging between +55% and +100%!...

You say that both the :4: and the :7: ran "aberrant" pace times in their last race. Are you looking at the raw fractions...or are you looking at adjusted pace figures? Because my figures show that...

There is also the question of the "reliability" of the PPs, IMO.

When the horses ran back in 10-14 days, like they did in the past, the PPs were more believable. But now that they run every 3-4...

My friend...you don't have to tinker with your method at all. It's good enough the way it is.

30% wins at 4-1 average odds?
