My 2 cents; "You have to use what you have," A Bradshaw quote. "Doc" Sartin had said at seminars that off tracks and turf lines are interchangeable. I have followed that guidance for years and it has served me well.


I also employ Sartin guidelines of the best of the last 3 at a comparable distance and surface. Those guidelines don't fit every situation that is encountered and the Bradshaw quote does come into play. If all the horse has is a good Preceptor with a high variant than use that line per Bradshaw or pass the race, an individual choice.

As Jeebs states an individual is free to do and choose to do whatever they wish but I have found that those that stray from Sartin's proven concepts pay the piper rather than make those withdrawals from the racing banks. His concepts have been proven over years and many thousands of races. One must have a damn good reason to go against his proven concepts.
