Morning Robert,
Ok Hat gave me a bit of a lesson last evening. I pass it along here for you and others ok?

Here are screen shots of the full past performances of the 5 horse and 7 horse.

Jim is very direct and to the point when he teaches.This is exactly what he asked:

1) Using all 10 lines showing regardless of distance/surface how many times has the 5 had the lead at the first call? Add them up.

2) Using all 10 lines showing regardless of distance/surface how many times has the 5 had the lead at the second call? Add them up.

3) Using all 10 lines showing regardless of distance/surface how many times has the 7 had the lead at the first call? Add them up.

4) Using all 10 lines showing regardless of distance/surface how many times has the 7 had the lead at the second call? Add them up.

5) Now who is going to positionally be ahead during the first 2 calls of the race. The 5 or the 7?

There is your horse. This is yet another reason why we use the entire past performances to evaluate a horse in today's race.

This is word for word what he did with me last night on the phone. OK hope this helps Robert
