Bradshaw always said;" The race starts at the gate, not the first call." This is very true, particularity when you have a race with multiple FTL (for the lead) horses.

The Yellow Manual also contained the Match UP. That early embryo of the match up wasn't that easily recognizable and crude or child's play to the sophisticated Match Up version in todays RDSS.

The Yellow Manual was the forerunner to all that followed and still is valid today, some parts aren't valid today just like some parts of various Follow Ups were superseded when later proven to be worthless. The essential stuff in "Old Yellow" is the Holy Grail for all that followed and the foundation in RDSS and the Match UP today.
