Didn't use the sprinter as a contender.

[Bill V.]

Hi Jimbob

The race had me baffled too
What line to use ? This was the lone sprinter in the race
There are other Early runners in the race, maybe the 3 and
its form is awful The 5 will try for the lead but stop
The seven will press who ever goes to the lead. The eight just won
a MS state bred going wire to wire. so thats a question mark

Too many issues picking lines so I passed
BTW notice how much more early the winners 7.0 race is
then all the other lines
Parx 7.0 races are adjusted a little too early !

#2 dropped way down in odds after the 3 min
or would have passed.

[Bill V.]

Hi Jim

I worked the race too I threw out the 7
My picks were the 9 and the 2 but wih the short odds I passed

I did not like the race because of the sprinters and the 6
I see you and Chuckg went deep on the 6 for lines

yet you did not on the 7 both line 1 and 5 puts the seven on top

H1A NF
H2 Press Line 1 +
H3 Fulcrum E line 1 (+)
H4 Scrat
H5 sprinter Sus
H6 No recent form
H7 Sus no recent rt form
H8 Early NTL LIne 1 (+)
H9 Press Line 1 +

I think I didn't reach down on #7 because lines 2,3,and 4 were not good. I actually thought about the first line but it was a sprint. This was a bad race to do. Should not have tried it. Jim

[For The Lead]

I hope you don't mind my offering some insight.

IF you are going to go back to line 5 for the #6 horse, then you HAVE TO GO BACK to line 5 for the #7 horse. Keep in mind that I would eliminate BOTH horses and like Bill V, I would have PASSED this race. Let me explain.

The #6 horse shows nothing except ALW races. They are "state bred", but still ALW races. What that means is this. The horse has not been offered "FOR SALE" by way of a claiming race that shows anywhere in the past performances. When a horse suddenly shows up "FOR SALE" for the lowly price of $4,500 it generally indicates a "negative drop" in class. That's a bad thing.

By way of contrast, let's look at the #7 horse. You are correct in not using the last line, which is a sprint race. You were also correct that lines 2,3 and 4 were bad. BUT WHY were they bad?

There is more than one way for a horse to drop down in class. The first is the easy to recognize #6 horse. EVERYBODY recognizes that as a class drop.
In the case of the #7 horse, the class drop is harder to identify if you don't know what you are looking for or at.

Take note that in its' last 4 races there are no conditions. That means the horse was running in "OPEN" claiming races with NO CONDITION. Compared to the races prior to those races, the last four races were higher in class because there was no condition. Today, the horse is dropping back down to a "condition" claiming race.

When you begin to handicap a race, the first thing you should do is read the conditions. Now this isn't going to help you if you don't know what the condition means or if you don't recognize the conditions when you see them in the past performances. If you are not familiar with the various conditions, this is something you should learn.

Below are the two horses I have talked about here and I have marked the areas I discussed.

Hope this helps.

I agree no way I would have used this one as a contender.I always throw out 20/1 morning line horses.

Jim

most if not all 20/1 ML horses don't have a representative recent
usable pace line

Barb picked up a nice winner the other day with this horse a 20/1 ML

32295
I worked the race and called this horse a E/EP7 there was no other Early
contender except the 7 who was a E1
I did not use line 3. It is comperable but the last two races are poor
the horse pressed the early leader but faded so it will not rate well

32296

I passed this race but its important to understand each horses
ESP running style and energy excertion abilitys
even if you don't use a pace line

Lets say I used horse 2 line 3 being the E/EP 7
It does get the jump on the 5 and 7 my only other contenders
and went wire to wire
