Results should be interesting. The biggest surprise for me was just how well Black Sea did. And Warped Tour did worse than I thought. Breeder's reports clearly aren't everything.

One big thing I did find out, and I knew something wasn't right at the beginning (which is the reason I needed the test), was the math wasn't adding up to what I thought it should. The break-down of potential earnings versus losses for the hosting agent in either the Alpha or Beta sets just kept confusing me. They certainly had a reason to as well.It turns out that the Beta set (which I was hoping for), does break even, or just about breaks even, with no additional entries from other players... those outside of the entry into the event... that may not make much sense, but when the write-up is done, it should make much better sense.
And the Alpha set only shows a loss for the host of about 25% without additional non-event entrants.
So my math on the host's outcome was certainly skewed badly. I had both as losses, but the Beta at only half as much as the Alpha. I'm not yet sure where my math went wrong though... yet.

This part isn't correct yet... I'm still working through the math, for yet another time. hah! I'll get this right.

Breeder's reports certainly aren't everything! That section, though I understand it enough, I still get surprised when a horse I thought would do worse, does better then a 'top candidate'. So much so that my own competition line... if I like the horse enough to keep, they get fully tested on everything still! It does certainly help keep me straight in at least that project! Hah!
