My Take
Bill, in my view, because of the many years you have worked with TPR numbers, or Phase I, methodically and persistently practicing this craft, you see a horse race through TPR. I salute you. I wish I was better at it. Jim Bradshaw used RAW paceline times and positions and he found his way to recognize winning "pictures", pattern recognition. You are doing the same thing with your use of TPR aided by databases to establish winners' parameters I believe.
Many people suffer from "New is better". Over the decades of my play I have suffered from this. So as new factors and presentations have been introduced they tend to migrate into those areas. However, in my experience when I have found a winning horseplayer, generally they have been using their method for years not months. In doing so, they recognize pacelines that don't seem to fit and others that leap from the page.
Glad to see you are more involved again and I always enjoy your perspective on these races.
