Claim Price |
PhilCVG 3/30/2011 11:35:23 PM | I want to pull starters that take a particular drop in class. Or rise? Any way to accomplish this?
For instance, I want to look at Penn National, and starters that dropped from 5000 to 4000? Or rise in class at Charles Town from 8000 to 12500?
I know the 30% filter will get me close, just wondering if there is anyway to be specific?
| jeff 3/31/2011 8:54:52 PM | Explicit changes in claiming price are not supported in the program. Why not? R&D that I did years ago clearly indicated other non traditional (and sometimes counter intuitive) class based factors were more effective roi-wise.
What I mean by that (specifically) is that the way a horse stacks up class-wise (and fig wise [the two are closely related]) vs. the field it faces today turned out to be far more important (both roi-wise and win rate-wise) than whether or not said horse was dropping/rising in claiming price... or going from a NW2L to NW3L, state bred to open, etc.
Why might that be?
After reviewing my initial R&D, I came to the conclusion that while changes in claiming price can and do have an impact in win rate, because they are visible to the public at a glance they are (for the most part) already factored into the odds.
Here's a list of class based factors built into the program that are described on the glossary of supported factors page at JCapper.com:
1. Class Consensus
2. CMI
3. Race Strength
4. Class Rating
5. Class Shift - Purse Value
6. Class Shift - Par & Race strength.
Also, the following factors have class based elements as part of their make ups:
PClass
JPRClass
There are also a handful of class based preset filters listed on the Preset Filters page at JCapper.com... currently listed as filter codes #120 - #127.
There are undoubtedly more class based areas available for use in UDMs within the program... the ones listed above are those that immediately came to mind.
