With all due respect, I believe that Mitch and Richard, because they are both such good handicappers, are putting the cart before the horse. They already are picking the right pacelines which are producing the correct contenders. For a newcomer or a recent returnee, it can be quite a daunting task to not only choose the right contenders but be confident that they are choosing wisely. This is where exporting data and pacelines can be so important to the newcomer. You can pinpoint what type of races are your weakpoints and which are your strong points. Many years ago, I was absolutely horrible with turf racing. But by studying my paceline selection and studying "Pace Makes The Race", turf racing is now one of my strong points.

Once I realized that the programs are excellent at choosing pacelines, then I focused more on the betting angle. Proper bet structure is not a miracle worker when you are structuring the wrong contenders.
