Keeping Track
Wednesday, February 26, 2025
Faster and Better!
The algorithm has evolved significantly over the last month. There were many bugfixes and a significant amount of balancing the mixture of data that leads to the selections.
In just the last day or so, I found a python library that allows one program to speak to another using TCP ports. After invoking the base functionality, the algorithm now figures a race card in about 2 seconds versus about 3 minutes prior to this change.
Basically, my algorithm must call my speed rating program four times for each horse. Each call takes about half a second as there is a lot of overhead for one process to call another process. I thought I would have to merge the two programs for this kind of speed, but it turns out I just needed a library called zmq.
zmq enables simple communication across python scripts through various methods. I chose to use the TPC port connection method. Adding a small function to the speed rating program for a server and a similar function to the algorithm has enabled very fast handicapping speed.
Honestly, I'm just getting used to having new output faster than I can ask for it. This will change everything as far as tuning up the track variants and testing different alchemic combinations of handicapping factors.
zmq is changing my way of thinking about programming. It opens up a world of possibilities. You can use zmq to implement communication between different servers running at the same time.
zmq is free, fast, small, stable and cross-platform. https://zeromq.org/

Algorithm update
As I may have mentioned, I am presently using a computer algorithm of my own design to handicap horses. I am using data from Bloodstock Research and writing the software in Python using the Pandas data library.
This started out as a test but has taken on a life of its own as the program has evolved. I have spent a lot of time debugging it because I never really took the time to design it. I just kept chiseling away until now I think it is very close to being what I never envisioned.
It seems like I'm having a bad year, but it must all be in the exotics as flat bets to win are breaking even.
The truth is there were a lot of bugs in the code when Oaklawn started up back in December. I've been trouble-shooting more than adding things. There are so many different things that have to be accounted for just to keep the program from crashing due to unforeseen circumstances. Jockeys fall off. Horses ran at a foreign track. And so many tracks and distances to attempt to account for. It's really pretty wild.
I think it's working per design, as far as doing what it was written to do. It uses another program that needs a little tweaking, but that is another story.
It's a pretty solid automatic handicapper right now, but I am bothered by workouts. The algorithm looks at each horse's last two workouts and uses the higher one as it's workout score. If they are both slow workouts, that fairly dooms a horse's chance of topping the list.
Not every workout is meant to be speedy. Some are just routine maintenance. The algorithm doesn't know that. It just takes the faster one. I'm starting to think just having a workout is worth more than a very low speed rating score.
I think I'll have to establish a higher minimum rating for workouts, just to boost horses like this. BRIS provides the average race speed rating, and it may be useful to generate a replacement value. Workouts are usually slower than a horse runs, so perhaps two-thirds of the race rating?
Also, I'm getting tired of calling it "The Algorithm."

Programming the Ponies
I have been using computers to handicap horses for many years. My first computer was an Atari 400. It had 16K of RAM, a crude BASIC language and cassette tape storage.
Hey, that was a big step up from calculators. I had borrowed a friend's HP41C to write some reverse Polish handicappers.
What I'm saying is, I've been around a while - maybe too long.
Nowadays the hype is all about artificial intelligence (AI,) but I would rather stick to human intelligence as there's little enough of that to go around, anyway.
Although I am no programmer, I am pretty good at hacking small ideas into snippets of code.
The trouble I'm lazy. I don't want to learn the proper way to code or how to test or document. I like learning the hard way. I just want the program to do what I need done right now.
Such little snippets tend to grow over time. My latest "program" is a Python algorithm written to learn the pandas library by combining various data about horses into a selection method that sorts the race by most likely to win. It ranks the horses and outputs a semi-pretty text table from top to bottom.
That code started with, "Hey, I wonder how to use the pandas library?"
It's a weird library. I've been trying to wrap my head around it for two years. It is slowly sinking in how to use it and abuse it. You could say I monkey around with it until it works.
I have found that if you just keep trying, you'll eventually either figure it out or not. Persistence.
Anyway, I am kind of in-between writing programs and just cleaning up code, debugging a little and updating some offsets for different racetracks.
The Algorithm is now being used to make selections at Oaklawn Park in beautiful Hot Springs Arkansas. You can follow my picks on Patreon and on my website. I may even start adding some video to YouTube.
