    I wanted to share that I've been using abPACE recently with some success. Pace Sys: 2, Model Sys: 0, pc Meth: 71 and ab Max R: 2. Fire Core AI and then click on abPACE. Then sort by BH under abPACE (not the BH under Core Pace). I filter races for 6 or more starters and no FTS's.

    BH ranks 1 and 2 under abPACE are my contenders. There's often ties, so I've been using Tie Breakers-- PSR, Jockey Rating, Trainer at Today's Track and Class to get down to 1 or 2 contenders. Occasionally I'll play 3 horses (a low-odds with 2 high odds). Sometimes there's only 1 contender, so I'll use the next 1 or 2 contenders in the BH column even though they are not rank 1 or 2.

    Stay tuned for next Wednesday's workshop. Dave is going to introduce Tie Breakers "hot loaded" directly from your Reports/Objects. You can create a report with your own Tie Breakers and send them directly to Abby. Will help you when you have 2 low-odds horses to decide on, or when you simply want go from 4-5 contenders down to 1 or 2.

    Below are some of the recent winners that I had:
    28NOV, WOX07 - #3 $12.50
    28NOV, PRX03 - #3 $9.20
    26NOV, FLX01 - #1 $19.88
    26NOV, TAM04 - #6 $15.20
    23NOV, WOX10 - #3 $10.20
    22NOV, WOX11 - #8 $58.00
    22NOV, AQU02 - #1 $15.16
    20NOV, AQU08 - #3 $28.38
    20NOV, MVR07 - #4 $5.40
    Many, many small break-even type winning and losing wagers. For example hedging a low-odds horse that ends up going off at 3/5 to 7/5 with a high-odds horse.

    About the last 10 days the hit rate has been about 53% with a ROI of +5.70%. Not everyday is a winning day. The key is to narrow down 3-4 contenders to 1 or 2 (without leaving out the winner). Had that happen a few times. I had one day where I hit nearly 80% of my wagers, but only squeezed out a small profit. Lot's of break-even type wagers that day.

    If any questions, please let me know. Happy to assist.

    PARX cancelled after 2 races today, but another nice day at MVR.
    7 races, 5 winners on top. Another missed by a nose. Prices not too big, but these BH Rank 1's and 2's work well as "leverage" and sometimes pay nice prices.
    R1 - #1 $9.00
    R4 - #1 $7.80
    R5 - #1 $2.80
    R6 - #8 $8.20
    R7 - #9 $5.80

    Sometimes it's easier to simply let the value/price horses come to us instead of trying to search for them. Here's a few from yesterday 03DEC2025.

    TAM R1 - #8 $12.00. 3 contenders here. The #8 has good Core LP and SR. 88:4 - also qualifies using the "Neal" 142 rating.
    TAM R2 - #8 $22.40. There were just 2 contenders and the BH 2 won-- Dutch both contenders. Notice that Core Pace also had this horse as a BH 2 making it a very strong play.
    PRX R7 - #3 $29.60. 3 contenders here. The #3 ranks 1st with Jockey and 2nd with Trainer.
    TPX R1 - #5 $9.58. Just 2 contenders here-- Dutch both. Core Pace also has #5 as a BH 1 making it a very strong play.
    TPX R8 - #10 $23.30. Just 2 contenders-- Dutch both. Not exceptional in any one factor, but solid across all of the Tie Break factors.
    TPX R9 - #11 $15.38. 3 contenders here. Core Pace has #11 as a BH 1, and rank 1's LP and SR-- making it a very strong play. Also, qualifies using the low 88:6 "Neal" 37 rating.

    If any questions, please let me know.

    [reply="Jim, I have been using a very similiar methodology except I have been using SR instead of BH. Results have mirrored yours. Dave had recommended SR and Im comfortable now. Good luck moving forward and thanks for posting
