Highlight Which Runners are Challenging the Leader - One Click Screen Settings

[Dallas]

Hi Dallas,

This is wonderful work.

Have spent 30 mins trying to work out how to create two columns/signals which display the number of times
each runner has a speed difference of over +1.0, or under -1.0.

I get lost almost immediately, not knowing if you create a signal for the market or each runner.

When you have some time, could you or anyone else maybe expand this baf to include 2 signal counters to reflect the
number of times each runner goes over 1.0 in one separate column, and under -1.0 in another.

I hope that's clear.

Thx

Have a look at these and see if they what you want, there hasn't been any races with Par's for me to test them yet but think they are what you want

Would you want it to just count it each unique time its above/below 1mph? ie, once counted it needs to drop below 1mph difference again before it can be counted a second time
Rather than count each refresh its above/below?

At the moment they are set for the later but that can easily be changed if that's the way you want it

Thx v much - will test as soon as TPD data is available.

I've done a copy of it where it only counts the unique times its above/below +1mph/-1mph
Only difference between the two are minor changes to the signals and signal conditions

I had chance to test it on the previous race at Southwell, not idea as it was a sprint race but as far as I could see it was all working fine, but if you do see any problems just let me know

Great work guys. My question, is it possible to combine settings from the Speed, Position and Distance profile with settings from the Challenger profile on the same Grid. For example is it possible to have a Grid with Distance to Leader (from the Speed, Position and Distance profile) and Speed Difference +/- (from the Challenger profile) both on the same Grid?

Yes, there's nothing to stop you combining columns from any of the examples, its just a case of adding the data you want the Stored Value rule then adding the extra custom columns to the custom column profile you want to use.

When I post these examples I try and use different Stored Value names, but in case I haven't just make sure that two stored values are storing the same name for different pieces of data - if they are just change it to a name of your choice in the rule and custom column

[megarain]

I have added a few extra stored values / columns.

The counter looks promising - unfortunately data from Ffos Las is incomplete, so cant test properly.

This is a current layout - I will upload the files in a bit. Handle with care - I know almost nothing.

Hi Dallas,

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering whether there was anyway to highlight the highest MPH out of all the selections at any point in the current mph column (each time it refreshes), and have the colour change the greater the value is from the second highest speed.

i.e. if the difference between the first and second fastest speed is less then 1mph its green or if greater than 1mph it turns red

Rather than displaying the difference compared to the "leaders_speed" which requires the pars data to be working from TPD, which I'm having trouble with.

Let me know if I'm making any sense

Many thanks

Yes you could,

You'd need another Stored Value to store a value from a range of values, with this you can set it to show the maximum
ie, it would look at all the stored values for the current speed and produce a new stored value which you could name something like 'fastest'

You'd then need to create a Value Based Colour Setting to colour/shade the cells accordingly

Hi dallas,

Thanks for your reply. Are there any resources/guides available on the forum that could help me implement this?

Thanks again

Hi Dallas,

So I took your advice and managed to get a stored value to show the maximum value of speed for all selections.

As well as this I managed to rank the selections in terms of their speed and also display the difference between speeds of selections on my one click screen.

HOWEVER, at the moment I can only rank the speed of all selections and get the maximum of a range of values for all selections. I am having trouble trying to rank the speed and find the maximum speed of just the top 5 horses instead of the whole field.

Is there anyway to rank the speed within a rank of position (ascending), but just for the horses 1-5?

I would greatly appreciate your help on this, as I have been going round in circles and its frustrating me ahaha.

Many thanks

You've done really well to get it that far so well done on that

Regarding just getting the top 5 to be ranked I assume you just want to see the speed differences between those?
and those outside the cells need to be blank?

Hi Dallas,

Thanks very much, really learnt a lot doing it. Yes, just the the top 5 please. I'm interested in the maximum speed and then the speed differences between the horses compared to the horse with the maximum speed. In terms of the other horses, I'm not too bothered. Just interested to see if there is a way to rank a portion of the selection that have a stored variable i'm interested in (e.g. a "position" above 1 and below 5) as opposed to the entire selection as this is all I've managed so far.

If possible would open up a lot of other doors for me in terms of automation.

Thanks again

What you'd need is a condition like this (it should have 6 not 5 in the box for what you want), and that condition needs adding to the Stored Value rule which outputs the final value/s

Capture.JPG

But if you are doing it to display only the top 5 SV's on the one click screen as these change around and runners fall out the top 5 their last values will remain (so you'd end up with them all populated if every runner has been in the top 5 of that custom ranking at some point in the race

So you'll also need another Set/Modify Stored Value rule which clears the stored values and that would have a similar condition except it would test for those greater then 5

hope that makes sense?

Hi Dallas,

So I understand what you said and implemented these rules and conditions however they didn’t seem to work. I’ve linked a screenshot below of them in progress.

SCREENSHOT

I added a rule to output the maximum of a set of values for “a named stored values (across all selections)” with the condition you said using a custom ranking that ranks by position.

I also implemented the SV rule that clears the variable “fastest” if the condition of custom ranking (position) is above 5.

Currently my method for speed difference is ordering selections by highest speed and subtracting ranks from one another.
I’ve attached my guardian file.

I’m finding it difficult to explain, is there anyway you would have time to make an automation file that can output highest speed for top 5 positioned horses as well as how to get the differences that i can import and pick apart/understand/compare to mine. Understand if you don't have time however, as I'm sure you have lots of people to reply to.

Many thanks, sorry this is so confusing, still getting the hang of automation. thanks for your continued replies

[Dallas]

Sure I can take a look sometime tomorrow for you and try and test it on a few races so I can see exactly what's happening, but you've done remarkably well so far and it's probably just one or two daft things to correct
