Hey Dave
When I say "Create an index" I'm just speaking of a running total of wins from all Morning Line Favorites less than 3-1 from one day to the next.
So for example, if the Morning Line Favorites less than 3-1 had only 1 winner on day1 and say 3 winners the next day , or day2, then the "index" would be +2 or 3 - 1 = +2
Say there were 3 winners on day1 and only 1 winner the next day, or day2 then the "index" would be -2 or 1 - 3 = -2
The "index" is just the number of wins on day1 minus the number of wins on day2 for all Morning Line Favorites less than 3-1
I just called it an "index" as a fancy way of keeping track of the running win totals on previous racing days at NYC tracks
The bottom line is that, the number or "index" would go up or down depending on wins based on the previous day for all Morning Line Favorites less than 3-1 at Aqueduct, Belmont or Saratoga
