You just click LATE---and any horse less than 1 length behind at the 1st call--was a play.

I did so well with this method that meet--board member- and TUP denizen johnhannibalsmith thought I was a TUP guru.

It eventually stopped working as the rains came...so I'm just wondering if it still works at all there.

These are today's plays--the horse that's been gone for two years is obviously eliminated on general handicapping principles:

Well, you ended up on the plus side.

This short week the method went 2 for 6...returning $12.90

IMA WILDCAT
STRETCH'S STONE $6.40
GLOWING EMBER
ZEALOUS SCHOLAR $6.50
GAMBLER'S GHOST

I know greenie mentioned Delta--anyone else with any results, good or bad?

Greg you have six picks for Aqueduct . I thought you said to only use the top 2 picks per track . Your post no#2720 gives these directions . When you open the day's card...the first thing you do is click 2.5L--THEN click and sort E-1 on the screen.

You're opening each individual race and then clicking E-1, tim. You are only going to have TWO horses total---for the day.
So how are you getting 6 picks?

There were only 3 days of racing this week---since the Holiday on Monday counted as last week.

You select the top 2 for the day, Dennis....so 6 selections for the week. The only time there is only one selection that day-- is if they are BOTH from the same race.

When this happens I just select the top power number of the two.

I have been applying that when the hotlist has 2 or more in the same race. Surprising how many exactas and tri's come in when it has multiple horses in a race.

Using the 2.5L and then sorting by E1, in the 8th race at FG today the # 3 was the play at 20/1.

He wins and pays $101.20. No, I didn't play him.

DIZZAAMMM I didn't even notice that. Someone in another thread mentioned this race--didn't occur to me to look. DJ SOUL SISTA was close to being a lone-speed play as well.

Where you at greenie?--thought you were holding down Louisianna
BTW the other horse DEGREES OF FREEDOM ran 3rd in his race.

Got a couple nice emails yesterday:

"You have by far the best software in the bussiness. And the price triples the quality. Believe me Greg I have purchased more software from RPM that I am embarrassed to say. And all is junk . I love trainer handicapping and trainer moves more then any other other aspect in horse racing. Love the exotics program. Hope all is well with you" .

And this one from PaceAdvantage lurker. From the response I get on my site--I would guess appx 10Times as many visitors here only read the board--and either aren't a member or just don't care to post, if they are.

Here's the other:

Hi Greg,

"I just want to let you know that I use your Paceview Platinum program a lot even though I don't post at Paceadvantage.com. I handicap horses coming from key races and use Paceview to confirm my selections.I've made a small profit starting with a small bankroll and will slowly increase my bet this coming season.
I don't have Paceview Exotic because the Platinum is great for me as I make win bets only.
Thank you for a great product and keep up the good work."

These spot play picks did not fare well today--one low priced winner in the bunch....and none of these were longshots.

Same ol' syndrome...method works like a charm on paper--tanks when posted or played.

I'll try again with this method tomorrow--see if today was an aberration--or
my paper results were a mirage.
