- elminating to top 5 and ties Total Energy/Primary Line Score (on Val Total Energy and Primary Factors screen - BL/BL screen in Spec and Primary Factor screen in RDSS)
- evaluating the top 3 ranked (or tiered) on BL/BL, seeking corollaries by V/DC ranking, and conformation to your records re Early/Late distribution for the track, surface and distance structure
- hiding, or mentally skipping over horses you won't bet on due to low too odds, though remembering them for exotics
- selecting a 2 horse win box (or a 2 horse entry, or 2 horses to win, etc) comprising your remaining top tiered horse, and the best overlay in your top 3, if you get a worst case resulting net mutuel of 1.5 - 1 (or whatever your records say your edge is) or pass the race if you can judge a legitimate favourite
- setting up a good record keeping system to know how you're doing, where your strengths currently are, what's the next area to focus on; try the wagercapping decision form in the Follow Up, or similar ones posted here and there on this website
- use that record keeping system to seek constant and never ending improvement, every single 20 race cycle; use that as a source of positive endorphins
- if you learn something true, share it with others

Thanks for the guidance, Ted. Looks like Follow Up #75 was done in the Spring of 1999. My involvement with the Methodology was approximately between 1989 - 93, and I got as far as Thoromation, although I was not successful with it, but that's on me.
I'll start with #75 and slowly go through #88, which I assume is the last Follow Up produced in late summer/fall of 2001.
In your opinion. does the "modern" phase of the Methodology, for lack of a better term, start with Follow Up #75?
Thanks again for the help. Lou.
