Sartin said that the Match Up "is 80 %" in each race. I somewhat believe its more. There are races that after the fact no other logic can be given accept that the horse won from the match up, once you re-analyze it. Note: much of that 20% can be accounted for and captured.

There are races where the match up is extremely hard to define before the race is won and even the best Matchers lose races. These races and the Match UP at times defy good contender selection and pace line selection. Additionally the Match Up will never get races where a horse does something different for the first time such as a stretch-out in distance. Yesterday I won with a horse that won on dirt and there wasn't one dirt race in its chart or lifetime record. As handicappers we have to capture the most possible and not worry about the exceptions.

I have seen so many fail trying to become a Bradshaw and employing the Match UP, that failure is probably way over 90%. People forget that Bradshaw wrote many of Sartin programs, therefor he had insights that few others are able to obtain plus his years of experience and knowledge. Fear not because the Match Up is all contained within the RDSS program.

Understand concept and the program and you'll have the Match UP. Its like Jimmy "The Hat" Bradshaw sitting right next to you and hands on guiding through the process. Forget Pars, models etc., the Pars are within the program and they are current. More current than any other devised by man.
