e-l graph

hello Ted, Tim:

If I handicapped the Hastings race that Tim posted, the exact same way as he did, using the exact two-three running lines, would the exact same '8' horse be the one listed first at the wire if I clicked the Segments tab on RDSS and looked at the total pace + fr 3 column?

I understand fully that a winner is a winner is a winner, especially at a 30-1 mutuel, but with those boxcars aside, how prudent is it really to select pacelines that are eight- and nine races deep ??

I also agree totally with you Tim on e-l importance, energy distribution and ac/dc -- the heart of the modern Sartin experiment.

Thanks to both for your imputs and thoughts.
