Before there is any further discussion regarding "tandems", let me just say tandems are useless. I know there will those who disagree, but wait, I will explain.
Exactly what is it that you are trying to accomplish by using the tandem concept? You don't have to answer...I already know.
Well let me tell you, you're beating a dead horse, so to speak. The tandem concept does not provide enough information for you to accomplish what you think you are setting out to accomplish.
The first thing you
don't know when using the tandem concept is, who were ALL OF THE HORSES in that previous race?
How did the horses YOU CAN'T SEE impact the race and influence how your tandem horses ran? YOU DON'T KNOW!
Does today's race have the same match up factors as the previous tandem race. YOU DON'T KNOW!
So what good is the tandem concept?
How does it help you?
Now, you want to know about "thinking"? No problem.
I would like everyone to click on the link below and go read this post.
You will see how Bill V. "thinks" and how his demonstration of evaluating lines and contenders far exceeds the tandem concept.
