Bid but Hung

[Gary Brous]

I am finding that "Bid but Hung" is a negative in a lot of cases. I wanted to know a way to eliminate such horses from a spot play. Is there a way?

Gary, yes, you can eliminate the vast majority of the losing "bid but hung" by tossing (un checking) K= 8,9 and/or HTR=8,9

Most horses that fall into small sub categories that show negatives can be readily eliminated with the above without having to add dozens of reverse filters for rare instances.

are you saying that "bid but hung" are mostly k8 k9 or htr 8 htr 9?

No Gary, but a sizeable number of the ones that hurt the ROI are
Getting rid of losers in bunches is the goal, who cares which other attributes they have

Eliminating from small categories such as "bid but hung" has a diminishing return in terms of efficiency.

If every single filter had a reverse negative option, we would be spending a lot of our time looking for every negative nuance and then having to check off dozens of small filters.

The Negative screen, along with the bottom K and HTR, contains the items that I have tested with the greatest impact on losers. Most of the losers in smaller categories are crossovers from larger ones.
