Exacta Idea

Win position should be a horse ml under 5 to one
Must be in PP 1234
Must not be the ML Favorite
Should be in your softwares top 3 picks.


The place horse is opposite running style.

What do you think?

Instead of PP 1234, perhaps pick a percentage. For instance, must be in a post that wins at 12% or higher.

If you look at Parx, for instance, in the route (two turn) races, posts 1 through 8 all win at 11% or higher, only posts 9 to 13 are a disadvantage. Sprints are different, posts 1 through 5 have had a clear advantage all year, all winning over 12%.

My software shows the all burger much higher too in inside post. But I get that. People way over play the outside posts.

Maybe the place position should only be the 1234 ! My htr has live longshots listed. I will test them in the place position. They are called $$ plays.

My new exacta system has top horse not the mlf, must be my software selection and be in the top 3 pics. Then the second horses are just 2 horses, they are in pp 1234 not program number necessarily. They will be slightly handicapped to throw out horses with little chance of 2nd.

The problem with evaluating post position using a straight win percentage is obviously the outer post positions are only used in races with large fields, whereas post one would often be up against only four or five opponents.

4th ML pick that has odds lower than his/her ML odds.

So few people get that.


The correct approach is to use Impact Values derived using the formula:
IV = Wins / ExWins

Where:
Wins = Total Wins
ExWins = sum of 1 / FieldSize for all horses.

True, but smart handicappers would have read Percentages & Probabilities written by some guy (I forget his name).

I'm considering using trainer stats to remove some plays and pace bias to refine.
