Hey Dave !!!
Your website emailed me as soon as you replied, pretty cool.

In the Attention idea of LLMs, they update the matrix continuously so that the words are not allowed to focus too much on themselves. Like you said, that is language, not handicapping. I was wondering if you used a procedure that continually evolved to rate the genetic evolutions of your "ants" then they would not be able to game the rules. They would learn the previous generation of rules and then be judged by the current. Perhaps this would get the better ones to not worry too much about the rules, but instead try to improve the outcome so that no matter what the rules for "SUCCEED & BREED vs. FAIL & DIE." get updated to, they are consistently turning out successful iterations and labeling the confidence as accurately as possible.

I would love to have lunch again. Red Bloom it is if you like that one. I had their beef dish and it was very good. Their veggie dishes were good when we tried those as well.

I am proud of you and the hard work you have put into yourself getting healthy. These last two years have been the sickest of my life. In 2024, I got that tumor that was spawning infections and had to be cut out. Last year seemed like nothing but recovery from the operation and the infections... they had me on two different doses of super powerful antibiotics, one was the lyme disease regimen and the other was the flesh eating bacteria regimen. I think they did a number on my body, killed off all the helpful bacteria. This last February, I got a bad head injury that I am just now getting over. It was hell for months, with the room spinning every time I got up or laid down. Anyways, I am trying hard to follow your good example and get my health together now, we shall see. You have about fifteen years on me if I remember right and you are definitely in better health, so that gives me a clear goal. With luck, when I catch you on years, I will also catch up to your good health :)

Would love lunch. This week is bad, my car is in the shop. Maybe next week, the 25th is memorial day right? Maybe later that week if you can do that, otherwise the first week of June?

It is always great talking to you, you have a truly unique insight into a lot of things. There are very few iconoclasts left in our society. Let me know, I am up for sushi, buffet, red bloom, deli, whatever you prefer...

Golden tempo wanted more distance and fit perfectly into the race. Ped on the horse was strong. Amazing ride by Jose Ortiz.

As always, Dave reached out immediately and we isolated the issue. Don't know if the guy ever sleeps, but his attention to his users is unmatched. Much appreciated!

abRx and abRy were all over the 19. He was my saver in the race. In a chaos 5 race those 2 ratings and *r4 help point to exotic plays.

#19-- 23-1.

At least not at the South Point in Las Vegas.

275 seats all taken and at least a dozen doing standing room only.
And the overflow with just seats, no desk and monitor, had another 50-75 there,

South Point is good for horse racing!!

in the horsestreet way of doing things SR's are a major factor. in paper/pencil handicapping what is the consensus feeling on the next important step? I've bantered around with many factors by the $net/ IV things but can't seem to get the confidence needed for the next step. The 24 "systems" are really quite good. But, I'm in a "please, Lord"- let me break even today because I really need the money phase. Love this game-love the horsestreet way. I am aware that high purses in the lower level races have changed the way horses are entered, The EPS factor has changed with it.

I had a quick call with Dave yesterday. We talked for a minute about profit contenders and I brought up "H" horses that I saw were winning with high Penelope Speed (Spd) rankings. Less than a 1/2 hour after the call-- boom.

TAM R7, #9 Acquisitive-- H5. $85.40 winner. Acquisitive doesn't look that great on paper (or using my Object), but has several positives. PEN Rank 2, EP Race Running Style, E/EP Rank 1's and Spd Rank 1. Early Pace, Dirt to Turf and cut back in distance. Speed rating 4 races back is Rank 1. Stretch Call Best Ever (SCB1E) is Rank 1. But, we don't have to do all of this handicapping, DET does that for us and puts us on a solid contender.

SAX R1, #2 Sneaking Candy-- H4. $14.80 winner. Another sneaky contender. Doesn't look great on paper, but again, Spd Rank 2. PEN and BH Ranks 3. Solid Speed rating 2 races back and another SCB1E Rank 1.

First, look for "H's" with high Spd Rankings. Then check the other BH and Pace columns for positive signs.

I agree completely, thank you for taking the time to answer, I appreciate it very much!
