If you were to have visited Doc in his office as he was writing follow up
88, and you asked him about the race, Doc would have asked you many questions, He would then depending on your handicapping ability give you his instructions. In my case I was a new beginner It is a good bet that he would have said forget all about the match UP, and running styles and recency rules, and just enter the line that Validator
(RDSS) picked the best of the last three comparable adjusted speed ratings.
Had I been there and done that, This is what I would have come up with.
So at 19/1 sitting in the top 3 the 2 is a sure bet
These are some of the decisions that we have to make as users of the
Mthodology What ever road you choose, you must stay consistent to that
decision
