The Match Up 2
How/where can I get a copy of The Match Up 2?
If possible the book; if needed a scanned version. I live in Brussels/Belgium/Europe. Many thanks in advance. GDP |
Apparently it is hard to find but everything that is in it is in the Hat Check on this forum.
Pook |
As I understand it there were only 100 copies printed. I may be wrong. Richie would have a better idea I'm sure.
Even though everything is in the Hat Check, I'd still love to read it. I've seen it on sale on Amazon for $400. Presumably somebody bought it as it's no longer listed. |

It is a compilation of everything written in the Matchup Forum by Richie and by Jim Bradshaw. Nothing in the Match Up 2 book is missing from this document - there is no other 'secret sauce'. The Match Up Forum IS the advanced course in The Match Up - well beyond the book. I used to have 2 copies of The Matchup 2 and used to lend one of them for years. One time, it did not come back. Now I have only 1 copy - the one autographed by The Hat. Its travelling days are over ... Ted |
One time, it did not come back.
Oh my word, that is really poor form. Even if there was an excuse. |
Hello Ted,
Thanks for your reply. 1) I am not looking for a course; I am looking for a book that I can later give as a present to someone who cares and for who I care. 2) A forum is not a course. You could either ask somedody to reduce the compilation to a document of 50 pages maximum that can serve as a basic course and that can be further discussed in the forum. Or, perhaps better, you could ask somebody to update the Red Manual and get rid of the (typo?) errors that are in it.I believe RichieP would be the ideal person to do that. Kind regards, GDP PS. I am willing to help, if needed. |
Hi GDP,
The best thing to do if you don't want to use the forum as your classroom and want something in print is to focus on the "5 Step Approach". Print that out, study it til it becomes second nature and go forward on races. Jim's Matchup centers around his 5 Step Approach and that is definitely something for you to have and pass on. Jim would love that told me he didn't want his work forgotten about. As far as me jumping in and editing a manual sorry but I have many other commitments to family and work that take up virtually all of my time. Life moves on in a wonderful and Blessed way. Best wishes to you and yours! Richie |
Match Up 2
If you really want to learn the Match-Up read the compilation that Ted posted. That's the way I learned it. It took me about 6 mths of hard work to learn it. It is 100 times better than the book. To learn the Match-Up you're going to have to practice practice and more practice. Ask the guys on this board and they will all tell you they had to pay a price for the success they are enjoying now. The Match-Up 2 book will not make you a success. And to tell you the truth I review the compilation 3 times a yr. Because sometimes our brain gets lazy and every time I do the review I will always say, dam I forgot about that. In the words of Forest Gump "That's all, i'm going to say about that".

Hint: the core principles of the method can be reduced to a lot less than 50 pages. The compilation is heavy on examples, also a good teaching methodology depending on how you learn. |
Match up question?
Hi everyone!
Although I do not follow the match up 100% of the time, I do use a lot of it to get which I feel are usually the correct line to use. Here is my main stumbling block I am hoping a matched will help me with Ok as per Ritchie posts, I check all the first fractions and all horses truly on the lead or sometimes 2 by HD, as I have read and believe maybe the chat caller got it wrong position wise? Ok so The best 1call is let's say 22.4 Now,my question? Do I use the corresponding 2 call, let's say it is a 45 BUT another horse.may run a faster than 45 call on the lead.but his 1st call was a slower 23. Which one would I use to get my projected call to match others up against? I hope I explained it enough to get some competent answers from "matches" Thanks in advance for any help. I do appreciate all the great responder s I usually get Papa Johm |
Hi John
Go to Jim's "5 step approach" in the Hat Check: http://paceandcap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5715 Look at "projecting pace" and then look at the first way to project pace. If you follow that particular "way to project" you will be in good shape I.M.O. ** Hat Helper - read the WHOLE way to do it! All the best and hope you and yours are healthy and happy! Richie |
Thanks
Wow! I can believe I heard from the best when doing match ups!
Thank you Ritchie so much! Happy holidays to you and yours John |
