I have one question though. In the past you have said when looking for projected pace times or when comparing power lines or power moves that you only used original times (not adjusted). In this respect I totally agreed with you since as to the Match Up I do not trust the adjusted half mile times. Many times the adjusted times suggest that if a horse is either cutting back in distance or stretching out that it could achieve some estimated pace call times that the past performances do not support. That is for example a horse cutting back from a 8 furlong race to today’s 6 furlong at times will be given an adjusted half-mile time of let say 44.0 yet it has never run successfully or even achieved such a pace call time.
If you are to utilize in this next segment of your Match Up lessons adjusted velocity times as provided by the Sartin based programs (very interesting) when considering projected pace times, power lines, power moves, etc. how does that fit into your stated (and I believe The Hat’s) position on using original times?
Thanks,

Hi Robert,
I use original data. That is how i was taught from day 1. Jim obviously uses only raw data.
After telling him that the majority of feedback emails are from software users relying on adjusted data but who still want to use some matchup concepts he
gave me a couple of ideas. He also said it's cool for folks to do whatever they are comfortable with.
Looking around at some readouts dealing with pace of horse,running styles and total energy(Fast horses) I see some patterns that will show the matchup
of todays race on a couple of screens.
I am using RDSS which is why I put this here. However users of virtually ANY software should be able to take something positive from this procedure if they choose to:
Validator
Synergism
Speculator
Entropy
Thoromation
Htr
Energy
Valm
