EXACTAS

[Grasshopper]

Rick---
or whomever:

For the past few months, I've been researching EXACTAS.

It's going well---
but is tedious as hell.

I would like to use ACCESS, or ROBOT2----
but can't figure out how to utilize either one for EXACTAS.

Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Thankx,

Grasshopper

good topic 'Hopper

Use Robot2 and investigate WP% among longshots. To profit from exactas you need "live" horses at a price to get up for second. Most longshots don't win as the statistics show double the rate of finishing 2nd over winning for almost all groups of horses over 5/1.

The Modeler Wizard now has a Place function (2nd place only). You can get a head start on your research by toggling through race results and noticing the factors that seem to produce the most runner up finishers. Check the box at the bottom of the modeler screen for Place (2nd fin).

You can find 'slam dunk' exacta boxes with the Wizard if the Win and Place model top 4 end up on the same factor. For example, if the (K) top4 is Win 90% and the (K) top4 is Place 85%, then just box em ($24) in a high probablity exacta play. If they are all chalk, then pass.

I have something in Access I have been playing around with.

Send me an email with what you are trying to look for and if I think you can do it with what I have put together I'll send it to you.

It is not the easiest thing to use but it may be helpful.

ME TOO?

You may have to remind me if you don't get it.

I have to make a copy of the db and clean out all the old garbage that has nothing to do with exactas.

Then I have to make up some notes about what needs to change if you change from something simple like top 3 rankings to something complicated like one pick being $$ and RazorSharp. That last one was the one I originally started with way back when I first put it together.
