FU # 45 Adjustments- Part One:
pg. 14 "Each procedure (adjusting for variants etc.)had its imperfections, however, so in 1984 we conceived the dream race pars as a means of making adjustments.

pg.15 "In all of our advanced programs our standard for adjustments is based on "Parameters" derived from the Dream Race. This is a mythical pace line incorporating the HIGH Total Energy, 1st.2nd,3rd fractions, Median Energy and 2nd Call registered by the mix and match of the contenders entered into our computer. Note: see example on pg.17

pg. 19 "Indiscriminate use of the (2) Alternate Adjust can make plow horses look like world beaters. That's why Jim "The Hat" warns against its use.(older programs) However, when applied appropriately with contenders that belong in the mix and match of the race, its use becomes a primary source of longshots."

pg. 20 " The most advanced Par Concept is derived from a combination of Velocity, Energy PLUS relative deceleration.

pg. 20 "The bottom line of this article is. YES, we do subscribe to the PAR concept for making adjustments. BUT, since horses do NOT read commercially sold Par Time Charts, we let THEM make their own pars from the actual potential of THEIR incremental running times."

Now you should understand why proper contenders and pace line selection are so important for success

Also this explains the MATCH UP in the most simplest of explanations. Sartin conceived it in 1984 and when track coach Jim "The Hat" Bradshaw came along he taught it to him.Bradshaw took it to new heights and got so good with it that Sartin could not employ it like him. Sartin collaborated with Bradshaw and we have it in all the later programs, and within todays RDSS program.

Anyone struggling with Bradshaw's match up would be well advised to pick contenders, pace lines and let the program sort it all out. Sartin use to say; "Unless your from Oklahoma and wear a cowboy hat." If Sartin can't do it visually off PP like "The Hat" with his high IQ, the rest of us can forget about it. One has to be aware of their capabilities and limitation's.
I venture to say the overwhelming majority that come to P & C or Sartin stuff fail to get this. Hopefully this will answer many of your questions on adjustments and the MATCH UP
