Best pc & Best sc
 

I have some questions:
1. In the supplemental readouts what does TPP stand for?
2. What exactly does keeping records of the winning horses best pc and sc do for me?
I have several hundred races worth and as yet can not find a clue as to how one could predict a probable a winner by using them.
I do however see predictability using the speed rating, line score, esp, and scbl.

TPP=Total Pace Potential
As far as keeping records of pc and sc I have never done that, so if you are finding that they are all over the place I would stick with the readouts that are more predictable for you and your style of handicapping.

great for routes & lawn, marginal for sprints

Froggy, I like Tomkins explanation better as he actually tells you in what type of races it is most effective. He probably knows SPEC160 as well as anyone on this board.

Thanks guys,

Things were a lot simpler when all we had was the compugraph and % early.
It was either go or no go and we could expect 60 to 65 % betting two horses to win.

do yourself a favor
 

Go back to see how often TPP and FX correlate to one another...close, particularly longer

Velocititian,

I wasn't keeping track of distance or E/L, but I am now thanks to you.
I only have two FOLLOW UPs left over from the old days, #70 and #88.
Last night in the wee hours before I fell asleep with them in my hands I read a couple of sentences by Doc that said "The most important Sprint Rankings are generally EPR, CPR, FW, FX, and SPN. When xtracting a sprint from a route, a horse should be in the top 2 LPR."
In the article he was doing this before hides.
Something for me to watch and employ.

Thanks a million,

Froggy
