The answer to your question is a question also - how do you want to handicap a race? What is your style? If you want to get into the match-up Bradshaw style, then you really should forget about the adjustments (at least initially) and concentrate on what the horses have shown. If a horse set a 44 and 1 to the 2nd call, then that's what he's capable of doing, etc. It requires digging through all the lines on all the horses.

The other end of the spectrum is practicing paceline and contender selection with your current program until you are selecting winners at a high enough percentage. Let the program do the adjusting, and keep going over your losers until you instictively go to the right contenders and lines.

There are guys who can tear it up and really don't dig that deep into the PPs, and there are guys who can whittle it down to 1, 2 or 3 by match-up. I personally rely heavily on my program, and I practice line selection like crazy.

One things is for sure - the Sartin Method has room for a lot of personality and thats why it has endured !!
