Richie,
This is a real brain teaser. Somehow you have isolated, in each race, the horse most likely to improve the most.
This is something that I thought was not possible using the matchup because one of the elimination rules is to throw out slow horses. And it is slow horses (with proper training) that are most likely to improve the most. Hence the long prices.
Since these races were still avaliable from TM I downloaded them into RDSS and was certain I would find the answer. My intuition tells me it has something to do with pacelines, but I do not know what. Distance switches?
I am no stranger to homework so without giving out the whole picture, how about a clue or two?
If you have described how to get these types of horses before would you please point me to the discussion topic so I can try and figure this out?
