Matching horses and pace readouts will be meaningless as winner after winner shows Euro lines with no fractional segments.
Here is a quote from Doc Sartin years ago on what he considered a "playable/workable race". Food for thought.
"A playable race is one where EVERY entrant has at least 3 North American running lines to evaluate".

I had a really good day yesterday focusing on the P3's.. As far as the Euros went I knew I would have to pay up to include them because I didn't have very much to handicap. There were a few that I was able to throw out with confidence but I just paid more for my tickets... The pools are just too big not to be playing Breeders cup day IMHO...
