With regard to record keeping, one thing I wish I would have done but didn't is track the conditions of the races I played. I suppose I could go reconstruct that, but my general feeling is that I lost more often when betting claiming races than I did allowance, AOC or stakes. Case in point, Butterfly Belle yesterday in a MC32000.
Were I to do the show parlay in real life (which I successfully have a couple times recently to build up some P3 and P4 cash) I would likely only bet on Allowance conditions or better. maybe i'm superstitious, but I genuinely perceive that I have more success at those levels than I do in claimers... and then again, maybe it's my sour disposition about Butterfly Belle ending my latest string of picks...
