Question for Richie
 

Hi Richie.

1) Break
2) 1st fraction in routes
3) 1c
4) 2c


Richie I have always known that the First Fraction in a Route is at the Half mile call. Is this what you mean? Or do you mean at the 1/4 mile. Because I notice that you did use the 23 and 24 time of horses #5,#6.

Emilio,
the first fraction in a route is the 1/4 mile time. The first call is the 1/2 mile.

YES I always look at the first fractions in routes. That's what I was taught to do.

You nailed the practice race with your FIRST impression. NICE!!

I'm at the track typing this so lemme get back to the races.

Good drill, Richie
 

Good practice race Richie. You are keeping us FOCUSED on the basics.[list][*]The break position, 1st call Position to Determine Running Style, Identifying Tandems and Running Styles.[*]If we are unsure and cannot nail races like this, this shows us we need to REALLY nail the basics. I was still unsure of the #5, what he will do TODAY. [*]THESE are the kind of drills we need, constant PATTERN RECOGNITION. We should not cheat ourselves 'cause we so anxious to go the window. I like the way you present it "AS THE HAT GOES AT THE FORM", and as "THE HAT SEE'S RACES".[*]If we are to attempt to develop BRADSHAW type skills, we need to nail this. PICKING HORSES FIRSTTHEN PICKING PACELINES , helped me with this exercise(bring more drills of this). Also, more drills on not using beaten lengths. Good, Good teaching material Rich.
