Pace and Cap - Sartin Methodology & The Match Up - View Single Post

So I got interested in Pace handicapping in the last year or so, and came across this website about 10 months or so ago. Ted allowed me to download the beta and got the retail version in Feb09.
I have had mixed success with it. Some bad, some good. I was following the selections and posting my own for a while, but to be honest found myself placing more bets than I normally would. That, and the fact that I took a new position at work that had me traveling 10 straight weeks, kind of relegated me to the status of weekend warrior for handicapping.
I play mostly southern cal tracks, since this is where I live, but occasionally will jump into Monmouth, Saratoga, if I want a full day of horsey goodness.
In the past 3 months, I have had a lot of close scores. missed an 18k pick 4 at Hollywood about 6 weeks ago in a photo, got 5/6 on a pick six that paid 380k at Del Mar a few weeks back, where I missed on the leg I went the deepest on, etc.. I am sure most handicappers have a lot of these stories.
Today RDSS and I put it together at Del Mar. I am posting this mainly for those people who use this program or are starting to use this program and wondering if it works. It takes a while, probably more than the 10 months I have been using it, but I think it can help a person's pace handicapping.

Below are my screen shots from RDSS for the Del Mar pick six on 082209. I will say a few things about my bet in general:
- I normally only play the pick 6 when there is a carryover or a guarantee of more than 500k. Today there was a carryover at Del Mar for 110k, making the likely pot of 800k-1,000,000 for the pick six.
- I have an account that allows me to play a $1 pick6 bet instead of the normal $2. I am sure most of you can figure this out.
- I will only play the pick 6 if I can get at least 2 singles in my ticket, keeping my cost down.
- I use a combination of the Selections Tab, and the BL tab on RDSS to make my picks. Have to give some props to Tim Y here, as he has posted his version of the RDSS selections tab, to show pace at the 1st/2nd call, etc.. I have found this tab to be quite accurate at times, and I analyze this tab every race now.

So here is Race 5, the first leg of the pick 6. My selections 2,9.

Results

1st 2-Bye Bye Hollywood $11.40 $4.60 $3.20
