Same to you, So far all my bets have yet to run, SA has a nice card, I have 2 pick 3's going .

Mitch I really hope you don't think that the EPR rating starts with the horses stopping and then starting after the second call, Your argument against the fulcrum is flawed

There is no EPR rating or fulcrum without the first fraction. That comes right out of the original PMTR hardbound copy, The one with Doc as an auther. If a horse runs a 21 first fraction and a 23-second fraction He runs a 44-second call or EPR
He gets a 100 EPR phase 1 rating

Now what is he going to do in the 3rd fraction? well if he generally runs 88-92 EPRs and there is another horse in the race that generally runs 93-96 EPRS The 100 EPR is the fulcrum, therefore the pace will be wicked fast.
But now I look at the 3rd fraction, and I can bet with confidence that the 100 EPR (fulcrum) is toast

The fulcrum on measures 1 thing the expected 2nd call POR period
But there is no EPR or secound call with out the first fraction figured into it
