Speaking of Phillips Racing Newsletter--here's a quick method that was in the newsletter a few years ago. At the time, I tested it--it works and it's so easy:

FORM FACTOR SYSTEM:

1.Use the best of the last two races to get the "form factor"

2.From the first call showing beaten lengths, write down how many horses were passed to the finish.

3. Now write down the number of lengths gained from that first call to the finish, disregarding any fractions.

4. Add together the numbers you wrote down from rules #2 & #3.
The top three are your contenders (more if ties).

5. Next, for each contender only, check the "distance box" in the upper right-hand corner. Total the wins and places you find there and add it to the total you got from rule four.

6. Highest grand total is the play.

If you like these quick methods, PRN is full of them every issue. I've been a subscriber for many years.

Let's discuss "replacement" copies, and the requests I get almost daily for them.

You are given, upon purchase the chance to download 3 copies. One for your laptop, one for your PC, and one you can put on a USB. I notice most people only download one copy. Their computer crashes next year--they want a replacement copy.

I don't have a programmer--and only have a certain amount of programs. I can't continue to send out replacements every time someone's computer crashes. I spent $300 on POPS AND TIPS from RPM. I went through a series of crashes, losing that program. I asked RPM about getting a replacement--they told me I had to repurchase the program.

Sooooo...I had to start charging for replacements--$10 per program. That's cheap but at least I get something for my trouble.

I hope you all can understand this--thank you

*Some price horses with high numbers--actually low numbers--the lower the better--looks good

Very nice!

I didn't list any ML favorites--these are the top Platinum Power --min 4-1-- from these three tracks running Sunday.

GPX

1ST WATER WIZARD 9-2
6TH GOTTA GO MO 7-2
9TH ROMAN EMPIRE 4-1
AQUAS COLORADAS 8-1

OPX

1ST BELLA ALICITA 4-1
3RD CANDY STORE 4-1
9TH BIG RETURNS 8-1

TAMPA

1ST FRIO 10-1
4TH ROSAS WAY 8-1
6TH CANDY OF COURSE 4-1
7TH COCKTAIL SKIRT 9-2
8TH NAVY ARMED GUARD 8-1

*BTW...Platinum Power has a higher ROI than Bris Prime. When was the last time you saw a top Bris Prime paying $20 or $30? Has happened many times with top PLATINUM POWER. On a normal day--I might not even play these tracks, but it's the only game in town right now.

Good Luck

I'm still looking for a programmer to code a couple easy plays. You can probably knock this out in 1 day, depending on your skill level. Look up a few posts and you can see one of them I posted: FORM FACTOR. Name your price--if it's within reason I'll pay you in advance-Greg
