I strongly base my line selection based on the conditions of the race
I don't throw out many horses based on the conditions alone
but I look for clues when picking my pacelines
Here are all the horses again. Look at the class of the races
from which I took my pacelines '
Two of the five horses # 3 and 4 come out of the same condition as today's race
Two horses # 9 and 12 come out of a restricted claiming race for CL25, nonwinners of 3 life. The purse for horses 3 and 4 was $23000
The purse for the restricted claiming race was $17,000
The 2 horse won its MS $23000 and now face winners for the first time
at this point, the 3 and 4 have a class advantage
I also know that I have a few things to consider about the 2 horse
and that it facing winners for the first time
