Hi, nice to meet you !
Great site….. Michael
Nice-looking site, Derek! Informative, too! Keep up the good work!
Your friend,
Steve
aka Equinetic Analyst
do u sell your pics as well sir?
Not at this point Mike, but I’m trying to post more free stuff. Thanks for asking.
Derek-digging your Pace Profile analysis. Any plans to go public for purchase?
Setty
First of all, I’m glad you like them. Folks tend to flock to the Win Factor Report and, as the creator of both, I think the Pace Profile Report offers far better (and unique) information overall. No plans to sell anything at this point. If I thought there was a viable market I probably would, but I don’t believe that’s the case.
Hi Derek,
Quick question – I noticed your pace profile reports only show the last 3 races, is there a reason why the last 3 were chosen –
is there a statistical basis for this or some anecdotal information?
Thanks!
Good question. Yes, there is a reason: From testing, I found that three races yielded the best results. Of course, there are times I’d like to go back further — when a horse hasn’t raced over the track surface or conditions (fast, sloppy, etc.) in awhile — but I found it’s better, statistically, just to leave that to one’s own judgement.
