GAMBLER'S MATE: Thoroughbred Edition - DOSAGE MASTER v2
Copyright (c) 1991 by Mark E. Savey
Welcome to GAMBLER'S MATE: Thoroughbred Edition - DOSAGE MASTER v2
software package. You are about to experience the most powerful and
least expensive ($20) thoroughbred pedigree handicapper on the market.
Yes, a bold statement! The DOSAGE MASTER v2 uses the "dosage system".
Dosage is a system that attempts to predict the distance potential
of horses based on certain important sires in the first four generations
of their pedigrees. These important sires are called Chefs-De-Race,
which is french for "chiefs of the breed". These chefs are divided into
five aptitudinal categories: Brilliant, Intermediate, Classic, Solid and
Professional. The categories correspond to a range of distance potentials
from Brilliant (highest speed, lowest stamina and early maturation) to
Professional (lowest speed, highest stamina and late maturation). Classic
represents the "ideal" balance of speed, stamina and maturation. Many
chefs are assigned to two categories. They are assigned them because of
the success of their progenies in the specified categories. Their "POINTS"
are split evenly between those two categories.
I've found that my program, DOSAGE MASTER v2, even in its rawest
form, has had a distinct advantage in the three year old triple crown
races and its preps. If you've not heard, this method of handicapping
is undefeated since 1929 (YES!) in the Kentucky Derby. Horses with the
allowable range of acceptable numbers (Dosage Index of 4.00 or less and
Center of Distribution of 1.25 or less) that are calculated, have never
lost a derby since 1929! Quite an impressive streak, wouldn't you
say?! The system had Unbridled (1990 Kentucky Derby winner) who paid
$21.60 for a single $2 wager! In that same time, it has only lost 3
Belmonts (2 were on muddy tracks). Do you know of ANY OTHER system
that has NOT lost a Kentucky Derby AND has only 3 losses in the
Belmont, since 1929? Case closed!
The DOSAGE MASTER v2 features the ability to calculate, display and
print the dosage profile, dosage index and center of distribution for
you. By using the 2 year old Experimental Free Handicap (published
each February by the Jockey Club), you have a very powerful twosome.
If any thoroughbred qualifies under ALL the dosage rules and is within
ten pounds of the 2 year old champ, THAT horse needs to be looked at
very seriously in the classic 3 year old races and preps. You can
obtain the needed information and sire lines from sources like the
Blood-Horse Magazine or the Daily Racing Form. They routinely display
all the necessary info.
I have also added a facility that allows the adding of NEW Chef-de-
Race sires as they are added by the Bloodlines staff in the Daily
Racing Form. This allows YOU, the user, PERPETUAL use of DOSAGE MASTER
v2. One small fee and the power of the DOSAGE MASTER v2 is yours
forever!
Overall, I have done quite well with the Triple Crown races and
preps and SO CAN YOU! DO RIGHT by the Gambler's Code of Ethics!

****** MAIN MENU Overview (ALWAYS use *CAPS LOCK ON* DURING PROGRAM USE!!!!)
===MAIN MENU CHOICE ONE (1)
"Calculate Horse's Dosage" is the facility that allows the user to
calculate: 1) Dosage Profile (DP); 2) Dosage Index (DI); and
3) Center of Distribution (CD).
The only choice available allows you to enter the horse's name to be
"tested". You will be prompted for its 1st, 2nd, 3rd and then 4th
generation sires. The system then calculates the above and allows
displaying and/or printing its results. Use CAPS and use the EXACT
NAME of the sire (use exact punctuation, i.e. periods or dashes).
===MAIN MENU CHOICE TWO (2)
"Reports/Maintenance on Chef-de-Race list" is made up of several
features. On this menu (shown on page 07), you will use the
following:
Choice One will show a file count of all chefs-de-race in file
CHEFLIST. You then have an opportunity to DISPLAY and/or PRINT
all chefs. This listing is handy, especially if going to the
track. I have won races just by this listing alone! Having a
chef-de-race as a horse's 1st generation sire is not a ticket to
the winner's circle, but definitely is a class edge.
Choice Two will allow the user to DISPLAY and/or PRINT all chefs
by category. These categories are the aptitudinal classes of a
chef-de-race: Brilliant, Intermediate, Classic, Solid and
Professional (see page one for explanation of each class). I
have also included an "ALL" category listing. It will DISPLAY
and/or PRINT all categories in the above listed order.
Choice Three will allow the user to ADD new Chefs-de-Race as they
are added by the Bloodlines staff of the Daily Racing Form. You
MUST BE CAREFUL when using this option. An entry error could
cause you a losing wager! This single option allows the user
PERPETUAL use of DOSAGE MASTER v2, so please register after
winning your first race. DO RIGHT by the Gambler's code!
===MAIN MENU CHOICE THREE (3)
"Info on Dosage, Dosage Profile and Center of Distribution" is a
quick memory refresher. The info is contained on pages 11 & 12.

** IN-DEPTH MENU LISTING (CAPS LOCK MUST ALWAYS be TURNED ON!!)
In this section, we will go further in depth into each menu
option. It helps to SEE what is coming, although I have tried to
make each section as user friendly as possible.
===MAIN MENU CHOICE 1 - "Calculate Horse's Dosage"
In choosing this option, PUT CAPS LOCK ON!!, with an example
of the great horse Alydar, the user will see the following:
CAPS LOCK must be ON
ENTER HORSE'S NAME
Press '0' to QUIT ? ALYDAR | user enters ALYDAR to be tested
IS SPELLING CORRECT (Y or n)? | user hits "Y" or <CR> since the
| default is "Y" if spelling is correct
--------------------
**>> See LAST page for instructions on reading a four generation sire line.
--------------------
ENTER ALYDAR'S 1st GENERATION SIRE
? RAISE A NATIVE | user enters 1st generation sire
| Use CAPS and EXACT name
Enter '0 ' at any SIRE name to abort. | user can ABORT "testing" with a 0
| followed by a <CR>
--------------------
The user then sees the system "looking" to see if the 1st generation
sire is listed in the Chefs-de-Race file. If so, it displays the chef,
his aptitudinal category, and specific "POINT" relationship. NOTE: The
format is Bg,Ig,Cg,Sg,Pg - where B, I, C, S and P are the aptitudinal
categories AND "g" is the number of the generation (1, 2, 3 or 4).
--------------------
Searching for Generation 1 Sire...
RAISE A NATIVE CLASS= Brilliant
B1,I1,C1,S1,P1= 16 0 0 0 0 | user sees 16 Brilliant points for sire
| in generation one.
ENTER ALYDAR'S # 1 2nd GENERATION SIRE
? | user is prompted for all generations
--------------------
The user will then see the actual calculated values for Dosage Index
and for Center of Distribution. These results are then analyzed.
If the horse "qualifies under the Dosage rules", a brief "note" is
added. This note states some interesting info. It could be giving
you the Kentucky Derby or Belmont winner (or Triple Crown prep)! If
the results state that the horse "does NOT qualify under the Dosage
rules", then the system lists the reason(s) for disqualification.
Whether the horse qualifies or not, the option to DISPLAY/PRINT is
given. If the DISPLAY option is selected, the system will show you the
Dosage Profile (chef point breakdown). You MUST use YOUR "PRINTSCRN"
(print screen) key to use the print option. I found this the easiest
way to format the listing (see the next page).
--------------------
-page 05-
GAMBLER'S MATE: Thoroughbred Edition - DOSAGE MASTER v2
Copyright (c) 1991 by Mark E. Savey
CALCULATED ALYDAR'S FIGURES TO BE:
Dosage Index = 3.94 Center of Distribution = 1.1
ALYDAR qualifies under the Dosage rules!
Check last year's 2 yr old Experimental Weight handicap. Take special note if:
1) ALYDAR is within 10 lbs of the experimental high weight; OR
2) ALYDAR is the 2 yr old champion from a foreign country.
Do you want to DISPLAY ALYDAR's four generation sire line? [Y]/n Y
Do you want to PRINT ALYDAR's four generation sire line? [Y]/n N
In anticipation of your usage of YOUR Print Screen key on the next screen,
USE the ENTER or RETURN key to EXIT the NEXT SCREEN. There will be NO REMINDER
to "Hit any key to continue". There WILL be a form feed to eject your print
for every TWO horses that you choose to print AND when you enter "0" to QUIT
at the ENTER HORSE'S NAME prompt when exiting the Calculate Horse's Dosage
section, if YOU wish.
-- if applicable, READY PRINTER BEFORE PROCEEDING - Hit any key to continue --
--------------------
You can use this program for any horse. It will give the correct
values. Although horses qualifying with acceptable values, and are 2
or 3 year olds, are the MOST advantageous as wagers!!
You MUST READY YOUR PRINTER, if you are going to use the PRINTSCRN
(print screen) key, BEFORE hitting the Enter or Return key to exit the
Profile screen (see next page).
PLEASE NOTE: Even though I chose NO for the PRINT option example above,
the system WILL allow me to use the PRINTSCRN (print screen) key at any
time. Since I have to allow the user to use the PRINTSCRN (print
screen) key, a NO to DISPLAY and YES to PRINT will have to display the
horse's info in order to use the PRINTSCRN key. Only by answering NO to
BOTH the DISPLAY and PRINT options, will you NOT DISPLAY the horse's
dosage info. ** Please do NOT answer YES to PRINT and then NOT do so.
If you do, you may throw off the print heading on upcoming prints.
On the Profile screen (see next page), see how each generation's sire is
listed, and the appropriate aptitudinal points are listed. Since each
generation has 16 points to account for, the first generation, since
only one sire exists, would get 16 points if listed. The 2nd generation
has two (2) sires, so 8 points each if listed. The 3rd generation has
four (4) sires, so 4 points each if listed. The 4th generation has
eight (8) sires, so 2 points each if listed.

In choosing "3= ADD to Chef-de-Race LIST". The user will see the
following reminder to unregistered users. Registered users will NOT
be bothered by this screen, as they have honored the Gambler's code
of ethics, by registering their DOSAGE MASTER v2. See below:

You MUST BE CERTAIN that the horses that you are about to add have indeed
been added by The Bloodlines staff in The Daily Racing Form. If erroneous data
has been entered, the system will NOT give you correct findings. It could mean
a losing wager!
As a precaution against this, a CHEFLIST.BAK will be created PRIOR TO adding
any changes. If you find that your data file is incorrect, data files can be
ordered for $6. Try to contact me via Email on CompuServe or InterLink, BEFORE
sending diskette, mailer and $6 fee to me at the address in MANUAL.DOC; OR you
can always REGISTER to receive all files! Since this program can maintain
itself indefinitely, it is possible that I may have moved since its release.

GAMBLER'S MATE: Thoroughbred Edition - DOSAGE MASTER v2
Copyright (c) 1991 by Mark E. Savey
After answering YES to the prior questions, you are asked ONCE more
to verify that the info for the NEW Chef-de-Race and related category
is correct. If the info is correct, the system begins its backup of
the current CHEFLIST (copies it into CHEFLIST.BAK). If it is told to
continue, it then integrates and sorts the new info into a newly created
CHEFLIST. Once the process completes, all changes ARE NOW IN EFFECT.
You should NOT interrupt, by breaking or rebooting this process. I will
list how to restore the prior file into the working CHEFLIST without
breaking or rebooting during this portion of the program (see below).
--------------------
Verify again that the 1 new Chefs-de-Race sire is correct (Y/N):
# 1: NEW CHEF -Classic | Example: NEW CHEF -Classic is verified
| a "Y" continues, a "N" begins again
--------------------
** RESTORING THE PRIOR CHEFLIST (in case of non-realized entry error)
===> This option is NOT listed on the main menu, BUT must be run from there!
From the MAIN MENU, press an "H" (CAPITAL H) for HELP to Restore the
prior CHEFLIST. The system will ask you to verify what you are doing.
If you concur, the system will copy the backup file (CHEFLIST.BAK) back
into the incorrect CHEFLIST, thus saving file integrity. It will reload
the newly restored and hopefully correct CHEFLIST and start you off from
the opening menu. Please note: The newly restored CHEFLIST may still
have incorrect data, depending on when the error was introduced. Only
REGISTERED users will receive free files- send me mailer and a floppy.
===MAIN MENU CHOICE 3 - "Info on Dosage, Dosage Profile and Center of
Distribution"
In choosing this option, the user will get a shorter reminder as to
what the following terms are defined as:
a) DOSAGE PROFILE - is figured by identifying all Chef-de-Race sires
within a horse's four generation pedigree. If a Chef-de-Race sire is
found in the 1st generation, he is assigned 16 pts, 8 pts if in the 2nd,
4 pts if in the 3rd, and 2 pts if found in the 4th generation. There is
always a 16 point total possible with each generation of sires. Each
sire becomes less important the further back he is in the pedigree, but
the number of sires increases to compensate this. Remember, if a sire
shares two categories, the associated points are divided equally between
the applicable aptitudinal categories.
The DOSAGE PROFILE (DP) for Unbridled (1990 KY Derby winner) is
11-3-10-0-12 (see page 12 for Unbridled's profile screen). His DP would
read: 11 Brilliant pts, 3 Intermediate pts, 10 Classic pts, 0 Solid pts
and 12 Professional pts.
b) DOSAGE INDEX (DI) - the value derived from a calculation with the
Dosage Profile values. The calculation is as follows:
(Sum of: Brilliant + Intermediate + (1/2 Classic points))
--------------------------------------------------------- divided by
(Sum of: (1/2 Classic) + Solid + Professional points)
The DI calculation for Unbridled would be as follows:
(11 + 3 + (1/2 of 10)) 11 + 3 + 5
---------------------- divided by = ---------- = 1.12
((1/2 of 10) + 0 + 12) 5 + 12

Copyright (c) 1991 by Mark E. Savey
Unbridled's DI of 1.12 (see end of page 11 for calculation) was well
under the 4.00 Dosage Index limit. He had tons of stamina to sustain
his driving Kentucky Derby finish winning by 3 1/2 lengths, as his 12
Professional points would indicate.
c) Center of Distribution (CD) - a speed versus stamina scale.
Values can be positive (more speed than stamina) or negative (more
stamina than speed). A CD of zero represents the ideal value of stamina
vs speed (Classic category). The calculation is as follows:
((2 x Brilliant) + Intermediate - Solid - (2 x Professional points)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Total of all points in Dosage Profile
The CD calculation for Unbridled would be as follows:
((2 x 11) + 3 - 0 - (2 x 12) 22 + 3 - 24
---------------------------- divided by = ----------- = 0.03
11 + 3 + 10 + 0 + 12 36
Unbridled's CD of 0.03 (listed above) was well under the 1.25 Center
of Distribution limit. He's almost ideal (speed vs stamina), with the
slightest lean to speed, but close enough to be called Classic! Look:
-2.00 (Professional)..........0 (Classic).............2.00 (Brilliant)
*** REMEMBER - Statistics have proven that horses with high DIs and/or high
CDs, even if they are the betting favorites (we can only HOPE!), DO NOT WIN
the classic 3 year distance races!!! DIs and CDs are very useful in
predicting winners and more importantly (?), pointing out probable losers.

GAMBLER'S MATE: Thoroughbred Edition - DOSAGE MASTER v2
Copyright (c) 1991 by Mark E. Savey
*** TIPS/INFO/ANALYSIS ON THE DOSAGE SYSTEM (Assuming all Dosage rules apply)
1) Mostly all KY Derby winners have had non-zero values in the Solid or
Professional categories on their Dosage Profile. Very rarely does a
KY Derby winner's last two categories show 0-0. Note: Since 1940, only
Derby Winners Affirmed and Sunday Silence had no "stamina" points!
2) The Experimental Free Handicap is a listing that is published each
February by the Jockey Club. It is based on how horse's have done in
their 2 year old campaign and how he/she would be weighted in a
theoretical 1 1/16 mile race. The "Experimental" weights are assigned
accordingly. In it's early history (1933), a pair of Experimental races
were run, but they did not always attract the highest weighted horses.
They were discontinued. Now, a group of three handicappers collaborate
and rate the horses. Only horses that finished 1, 2, 3 or 4 in a graded
or unrestricted stakes with added-value of $50,000 or more (in US and
Canada) are ranked. The highest rated male and female are given the
status of "Champion 2 year old" for their sex.
It's value has proven to be very powerful when combined with the
dosage system. When a horse qualifies under all dosage rules, and is
rated within 10 lbs on the Experimental Free Handicap of that of the 2
year old champion's, you may be looking at the Kentucky Derby or Belmont
winner! It has given winners in all but two years, in the KY derby since
1972. The exceptions were 1988 and 1989, where two lightly raced two
year olds (Winning Colors and Sunday Silence) caused a "modification" to
be necessary...at least to allow consideration.
** In conjunction with Dosage (always!) one may want to consider eligibility
by the "weight factor" if any horse has won a Grade I race as a two or
three year old. This will probably lead to more horses to consider, but
it will allow for those lightly raced, but capable horses.
3) At the time of this writing, there has been 19 KY derbies since 1972.
Taking out years that only one or two horses qualified, a DOSAGE MASTER
v2 user would have had the Triple (I would box them!) four out of 14
times! I gave my friend in New York the Triple (key horse Pleasant Tap
at 40-1 who finished third) in the 1990 KY Derby where it paid over
$1500. It seems that the exacta (boxed) would have been hit eight out of
14 times (the four years the triple was hit and another four). For two
years, the second place horse would been picked (1988 and 1989 see #3
above - as a saver, it could have been exacta ten out of 14).
4) For the last 50 years in the Kentucky Derby, the average DI= 1.84 and
CD= 0.37. For the last 50 years in the Belmont, the average DI= 2.70
(but only 1.96 if Creme Fraiche who's DI was 39.00 is removed! His 39.00
was 20% of all the other 49 years combined! He won in 1985.) and CD=
0.42 (or 0.39 if Creme Fraiche is removed. His CD was only 1.70. The
dosage figure was VERY high. He WAS coupled with a dosage qualifier).
5) Dosage should NOT used for the Preakness, as the distance is too
short. A "Classic" distance is usually defined as 1 1/4 miles to 1 1/2
miles...the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont.
6) Since 1972, a straight $2 win wager on the 60 dual qualifiers (dosage
and weight) in the Derby would have returned $228.40, a PROFIT OF 90% !!

** HOW-TO READ A FOUR GENERATION SIRE LINE
This section is for those new to following the Dosage system. Only
the SIRES (male horses or stallions) are used to calculate any of the
Dosage criteria. Below is one format of a four generation sire line.
The sires are entered in generation order (1st, 2nd, 3rd then 4th).
Below is Unbridled's four generation sire line for your comparison with
the profile screen on page 12. On the next page (which is the last page
of this manual), is a blank four generation sire line. You may use this
as a guide for entering data into the DOSAGE MASTER v2. Again, there are
several fine magazines that have four generation sire lines. I am a
current subscriber to Blood-Horse magazine. It is a weekly mag that has
super photos and all the four generation sire lines of the winners of
stakes and "added" races for the prior week (PLUG!). Also, there are
others. Please feel free to call WPGS BBS @ (619) 243-9422 and join
conference #48 (which has been kindly dedicated by its sysop, John
DeSantis, towards coverage of all GAMBLER'S MATE products) and leave info
and comments about sports handicapping and the like. I subscribe to

** Remember all dams ARE important in breeding, but are NOT taken into
account when analyzing and calculating the dosage numbers. Please
IGNORE them during the data entry portion of a horse's four generation
sire line. Note and do not forget (see above) where they are located
in ALL horse's four generation sire line. The DOSAGE MASTER v2 expects
to have only SIRES (males) to be input. The sires needed are the ODD
numbered horses listed (ie: 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and
15th horses listed in the 4th generation).
