Richie,
Ok Thanks for the heads up, I almost fried my brain.
Sounds like Doc was considering more than just the Pace aspects of handicapping a race. I know that Doc referred to Taulbot’s work several times in the earlier manuals. Taulbot’s approach has been expanded on by several handicapping groups. From a Taulbot viewpoint the races you put up have some things in common.
All 5 entries last raced only 17 to 21 days ago.
All 5 entries have races with gains/losses of 1 ½ lengths and then losses/gains of 1 ½
Lengths.
3 entries have no wins since their last claim.
3 entries have finished within 7 lengths of the winner in 3 races.
Maybe these were on your tic sheet.
I just checked the American Turf Magazine website and they still have some of the Taulbot’s articles available that they published back in the day.
