I would like to paraphrase some comments from a Peak Performance Motivator Guru, Anthony Robbins. If one reads an entire book which seems boring, immaterial, and a waste of time, But if there is one sentence that is relevant to you. Then the book was worth reading…..
In Huey Mahl’s book, “The Race is Pace”; Mahl talks about how the early pace has a “telescopic effect” on the rest of the race. One sentence, so short, yet of great importance if one wants to understand how the early pace of the race affects the final time. This one short sentence can give one great inspiration and guidance in incorporating one’s idea about measuring the “energy performance” of a race. The “tunnel vison” focus on final time is archaic and not a true representation of energy expenditures.
Lastly, it “behooves” one to keep an “Open Mind”………..D Wayne Lukas trained a Champion Filly named Open Mind. Lukas saw the filly at a pre-auction inspection and the filly did not fit Lukas’s preset profiles and conformation requirements… But fortunately, he kept an “Open Mind.”
May we all continue to share our ideas and thoughts……We might not know where the next “Ahhh Haa!!!” breakthrough comes from. We should keep in mind that Howard “Doc” Sartin was an Psychiatrist who had no previous exposure to handicapping and horse racing when he was assigned to treat a group of problem gamblers. The rest is history and the foundation of our Methodology. The Sartin Methodology……….
