    I've been playing live and then replaying dozens of races in past several weeks since the original AI Assistant and its subsequent upgrades have been released. I don't model per se, but I keep detailed notes of each race that I play live, with the components that I use in my handicapping, so I can replay the races as new enhancements are released and monitor how they might improve my play. In all cases I use these buttons AFTER I've done my preliminary handicapping. Some thumbnail observations:

    abRx/abRY (found in BR2 button)- I mark the three lowest ML odds horses, and look to see if these buttons push them down. When any of these three horses get pushed down I BALO them. This is now my preliminary BALO determinator. It's absolutely killer.

    I also look at the best three horses on these buttons. Usually I already have them as contenders but occasionally they point me to a mid-priced winner that I had missed to that point.

    Abby Pace- the BH sort is very good at finding the low odds winners. Dave and Brian have said this gets 91% winners and I certainly see that. For me, it's also aiding in eliminating some of my mid and long odds Place contenders for exactas. The bottom two or three horses are easily tossed in an exacta Place ticket. So this button is helping me tighten my exacta tickets.

    pcrH button (also found in BR2)- haven't figured out yet how to leverage this column, but I know it's an important one. For me it often mirrors the abRx/abRy button. But occasionally it does point me to a winner or Place horse that I would've missed otherwise. This button is a work in progress for me.

    Anybody else have any observations on these components?

    Honestly, I haven't looked at the abRx/abRY (found in BR2 button) that closely. I checked several races from yesterday, and you're definitely on to something here. This is a very good BALO determinator.
    I do use Abby Pace. From the other post-- watch the video "Detailed Abby Instruction Wednesday 08-20 Meeting". It's very good.
    Here's the Tiebreakers I've set up.
    280 - FTBL3
    214 - Earnings/Start
    36 - Jockey Rating
    1,630 - Trainer/Track
    12 - Condition
    A couple of observations. I like to review the Abby pace rankings like in the video. Pay attention to contenders that are Rank 1 in both LP and SR, even in "E and EP" designated races unless their ES points are 0 or 1. These contenders may not rank high early because of their running style, but they stay close enough to the pace. For example a contender with an ES 5 and there's 6, 7 or 8's in the race. The contender does not rank that high early, but the ES 5 keeps him in contention.
    A tie breaker I like to look for is a Trainer/Track Rank of say 5 or 6 and a Jockey Rating of 1 or 2. You have a good contender with not the best trainer, but one of the best jockeys. Could work well in Exacta place tickets since it may signal that the trainer is going for purse money.

    Here's several nice low odds winners from yesterday Tuesday 02SEP2025 that I call "strong LP/SR" contenders from Abby Pace. High Rank 1 and/or 2 LP/SR rankings. Since these are strong LP/SR, they're going to be low odds contenders. Remember, if the race Pace designation is E or EP, make sure the contender's ES is NOT 0 or 1. ES 0/1's do not win that many E or EP races.
    BTP R1 - #4 $5.40
    BTP R7 - #3 $5.80
    BTP R8 - #3 $9.20
    FLX R4 - #8 $4.04
    FLX R5 - #7 $6.68
    FLX R6 - #2 $6.66
    FPX R3 - #2 $5.20
    FPX R4 - #2 $7.60
    FPX R8 - #2 $5.60
    IND R2 - #7 $7.00
    IND R3 - #5 $7.40
    PRX R9 - #5 $9.00
    PID R3 - #3 $6.60
    PID R4 - #4 $4.20
    LAD R5 - #2 $4.40
    There were also 13 other sub-Even$ winners that I didn't bother to list.
