I hope I am not sounding contradictive I know what Hat and Rich are doing has value
and I respect that they can do it I feel in my head its better for me to go back
I take bits of the Match Up and try to blend it with what I have read in the follow up for years
I am a big believer of going over races till I get it right
This is what Doc and I did when I went to work with him using Validator 2
Yesterday in race 7 at Philadelphia is a great example of getting a positive out of a loss
Here is my BLBL I was using Spec160 since the laptop I use for RDSS is down
at the moment
My bets were the 7 and the 10
what!! look at the 3!! 20-1 on the morning line
Nope I didn't think the three was a true contender based on APV and the pace line
I bet the 7 as my top choice then using my binder method I now had to choose between the
10 and the 11
I bet the 10 - why? It was ranked 3rd oh yeah go back and check Bill
The 3 10 and 11 were all tied at 18.3 on the line score, Plus my records !!!
and I had just been reading in the pace launcher manual about keeping current records
said that for me at Philly The top 2 LPR were winning at 5.5 furlongs
Why then did I ignore the 11
I watched the race with my dad Brooks at Monmouth simulating
The 10 and 7 were both pressing the 8, 5 and 1 They both made beautiful outside moves and blew past
them. I was sure I had it. Dad I'm in!! I have the 10 and here comes the 7... But wait!!! then here comes
another horse HELLO its the 11 blows past both the 7 and 10 and wins and pays $14
I was done. I shut down and just watched the rest of the races
I went back and checked the race when I got home It was a mistake, I used the program
correctly. My lines and contenders were solid. I made the call on the 3
I was sloppy with the my analysis of the race Looking back I got a plus from a loss
