Rich:
I still have his booklet that came with the Pace Calculator and as stated before he would go as far as necessary to get the preferred pace line. It did not necessarily have to be held to the last 2 or 3 races. He did require if I remember clearly without the booklet in front of me that the contenders show recent racing in reasonably good form.
Only his top 3-5 Pace Calculator output contenders would be considered for further analysis of his 19 form/trainer angles which had a point system. So in the end the top couple of choices or the top choice if rated by 5 or more points would be the bet choice. That is you would add the contenders Pace Calculator points to the form/angle points and the sum of this gets you going towards a final pick.
The calculator would come up with the fastest horse because he used raw times in this regard and would if necessary and so desired by his customers utilize his track variant system to adjust the times. To this as stated above he would add the form/trainer angle points.
He had some surface and distance requirements but in fact the Power line definition is how he would pick his lines as I gather from reading his material. Ray was known as an expert in determining current form so he felt very comfortable going back past the last 2-3 races.
That is my recollection without his material in front of me,
