It is just a fact of life that I begrudgingly have come to accept. My canvas is the Original screen and other adjusted screens in RDSS2. So while I have looked forward to opening a dialog with you, it may very well be that you handicap from the Racing Form as Jim did and I will continue to have to experiment and attempt to use the RDSS2 program in a manner that is consistent with his teachings.
For example when I have assigned Running Styles and established a projected pace either through the use of FPLR or via POWER LINES, my reality is the Segment screen. These numbers and visuals are what I have to develop pattern recognition with. The Energy screen is also helpful especially if I think the race will run Late as the L/EP# is extremely good. And when my final contenders are off of the same track I can usually use the Original screen and voodoo lines to find the "horse closest to the leader, factoring in the pace of the race. Your 3 matching early spot play is easily seen there as well. I have also learned to discount horses with earlier ESP than their Running Style in my contender selection. If an E or EP shows position over 4 at the 1st fraction that is a pretty good indication he/she is not going to be near the lead today against these competitors,
Any advice or suggestions relative to use of implementing the Match Up via RDSS2 would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Mark,
The post I made above is 100% doable with RDSS ( I know because RDSS is ALL I use when I go racing). Speaking for myself I have issues understanding the written word so please forgive me if my response to your initial post was "short". Jim always taught me over the phone and looking at races in front of me.
I have an idea if it's cool with you. Let's do a race or 2 together before it runs. You pick a race or 2 for us to work, let me know the day before so I can download the track (s) and we will have at it! I like your criteria of older horses with everyone having 10 running lines to evaluate. We can do it privately by phone or post up the pps and workup here, whatever works for you ok? It's all good!
This weekend is completely tied up for me with my Grandson's Christening party tomorrow at our home. We have a ton of people coming and Karen and I are going crazy today and tomorrow AM setting things up, cooking etc etc.
Maybe next weekend? I checked with Karen and she said Saturday morning is clear for me for at least a couple of hours maybe we can look at a couple for Saturday or the next days racing. Personally I like fuller fields with at least 8 betting entries, no maidens. I look at all 3 surfaces.
Have a great day
Richie
