Pace Lines
BJennet,
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. That is generally the approach I use, with recency and interim races considered. For example, if an entry has a record of 5.5f good, 6f good, 6f fair, 6f poor in last, entered in 5.5f today, I would use the most recent 6f because it appears the entry ran well for a few races, and is now in a low part of its form cycle.
I would really have to see something besides the pace lines as an excuse to go back to the better races for comparisons. It is in that gray area--of what seems to many to be form-reversals--that a lot of potential profit exists. Unfortunately, making excuses for poor performances in one or more recent races is also an area that leads a lot of handicappers astray. I used to be one of them.
Best Regards, and thanks again for the advice
