6th Fort Erie lawn bowlers
 

The significant different Fort Erie turf crowd substantiates yet again that it is a unique surface requiring constant vigilance as it is different than most. EARLY wins again.

I could go on and on, but the point is: when you have dirt horses running on turf: they run like dirt horses. The occasional REAL turf horse will overtake them.

Again, today, the limited typical turf ability is just not around at some of the courses where it is an after thought as in the 9th at Philly. The winner is earliest, relatively to this group.

granted, you guys are using figures from the software you use.
Pizzola used PPF.
Does anyone remember how to calculate the PPF's. Is the fulcrum needed??
Cec:confused:

PPF = F3+time value of 2nd call beaten lengths.

Ray Taulbot software

Ted,
F3 is late pace??

Chalky!

It is Fraction 3, i.e. the time between the 2nd call and the finish. Pizzolla creates PPF by taking the F3 time and adding 1/5th or 2/10th seconds per 2nd call beaten length (or you could do the equivalent by velocity, FPS).

Cecil,
it seems you're studying some of RT, from the selected pacelines.....I love it.

Pino,
Back in the saddle again...heehaaa. Feeling good, bud.
In maiden races, I have had good luck by not putting any filters on the software and letting it find the best "pace of race" for each horse. as long as the horsie has shown some sign of life in that race.
Other races, I do filter for relative distance and surface and let fly...sometimes crawling into the wayback mobile....

Been doing alot of Taulbot reading.....love his style and "old" ideas.....
