Pace and Cap - Sartin Methodology & The Match Up - View Single Post

Got it! Page 268-269, Modern Pace Handicapping, 1st Edition -

For the purposes of a $10K par chart for different distances at different tracks, parallel segmental times by distance, Tom gives a 'rule of thumb' FPS value of a length in expressing Total Energy (Average Pace) as:

sprint = .14 per length
route = .11 per length

For anyone thinking of asking: this is not how we do it in RDSS, or later iterations of the Sartin Methodology (we use 'par gaps' to equalize running times - an ad hoc internal matchup, along with TrackMaster inter-track and inter-distance variants).

I was just responding to Tom's specific query.

Good luck Tom! (Hope you're getting better ...)
