Thanks for responding, LS. While I don't use or necessarily agree with all the concepts you stated, I appreciate and can see the logic in your own approach and I do believe in improving 2 and 3 year olds, although I may disagree about the quantification. I've also played the SoCal circuit almost exclusively for 25 years.

I'm testing RDSS to see if it can work for me, thus my question. I won this race using my basic approach - BRIS PP's, AOdds 98, EXDC/Thoromation. I too had the horse with a huge early advantage as an improving 3 yo. I didn't know whether he could route but his ML was 12-1 and at 43-1, not much to think about. I did not have the place horse. This was the type of investment that could pay my mortgage for a month when I was playing professionally in SoCal back in the mid 90's. Sort of a classic lone fast sprinter vs. slower routers. Interesting that TM had the RC on the sprinter's G2 race as a tick above the G1 tandem race - 102 vs. 101.

I just need to make sure that RDSS doesn't take me off opportunities like this in my own thought process.

Love your contribution to the discussion as I'm more of a Brohamer type 'capper (with a touch of Quinn & Mitchell) and not just a straight Sartin style type- thanks!
