I have one question.
Let's assume you rate a winner 15 off his last race.
He comes back 2 weeks later and disappoints relative to that figure. Over the next couple of weeks 3 more horses come out of the same race and disappoint relative to their figures.
Do you go back and adjust that race weaker?
If yes, the next time that original winner comes back will he show a different figure than a 15 for that race?
That's the one thing I don't have in my automated system that I may like to add.
My reports show me the Par for the class and a Class Rating for the race based on who was actually in it so I can identify strong and weak fields for a class.
I've tested the strong/weak process. It has a couple of quirks, but it's pretty good.
What I don't have is an automated follow up process to see how horses are coming back so I can refine the ratings further as I have more information. I do that manually when I'm handicapping. I'd like to automate something there eventually and see how it impacts the results of my tests.
Do you do that?
