Seems we still have a problem. How will our system ever find overlays at anything except higher-priced horses?
I mean, even if Able is "excellent" all the way across...
... he isn't good enough for us to find him as an overlay at (say) 4/5.
But the solution is an easy one because we have total control of our handicapping system.
What I have done here is 2 changes.
1. I opened the 1-5 scale to go higher in 3 categories, so that a speed, pace, and class are now 1-8. Just imagine Winning Colors entered in an NW4 race after winning the Ky Derby. Such a horse might easily be an "8" - far above "excellent." Maybe even a "9."
2. I have tinkered with the weights for the factors. Who says that they even have to be 0-100?
The point is coming next.
