The Match Up is basic handicapping procedure. Jim spoke on it the most
because he was the BEST there was using it, without a computer.
He also stated on many occasions that he passed some races due to the fact that there were too many variables to make an educated opinion in a given race. In my opinion, a good track profile will get you about one third of a nine race card. The Match Up could probably be applied to 4 of the
remaining 6 successfully.
