Thank you Mike,
That adds weight to my thoughts and clarity as well. Yes, I remember the comments in a "Paceless race". The horse that gets the lead, never having had it before, tends to run off. It must scare them, especially younger horses.
The second issue for me is once I identify the FPLR horse and look for a better race in his pps to make him better, I end up trying to find another horse and search their pps for a race that could set up too much contention allowing someone to come get them. This can sometimes mean getting in the way back machine and finding lines deeper in the pps.
Jim's 3 questions are very broad: 1) is the horse still a horse, 2) has he changed his running style and become a slow horse, 3) can he still get on top of his fractions. Took me along time to figure out what he was saying and still haven't learned to implement it very well. I guess I am always looking at price and suck into some well over the hill runners at times.

Once again, it is very helpful to be able to hear you thoughts and validate my own or allow me to realize that I am off base.
