An Interesting Tandem Race

[Turbulator]

When I saw this race I immediately thought of Binder. This is the type of race I used to encounter frequently when I was playing at Longacres back in the 80s and 90s. They gave me headaches then. They shouldn't be as much of a problem now, but this race was a puzzle, so I passed.

The fact is I didn't know what to do. I felt like I should be able to figure it out without too much problem. When I saw all of thoses tandem horses, I thought "yummy."

So, some things to think about. Do you throw out all of the tandem horses and go with someone else? Or, do you pick one of the tandem horses--if yes--which one? Five horses came from a last race tandem. And there are other tandems as well.

Everyone who would like to work the race go ahead. All comments are welcome. Have a question? Ask away. Give and take is how you learn. I'll post some comments and the result chart on Monday or Tuesday.

Of course I would love to hear The Hat's comments as well.

Good luck,

Steve

Steve,
Just a quick look.
If today race run as the Tandem, I would pick #8 to win.

Here is my look

1 - Tandem winner -in
2 - slow -out
3 - slow - out
4 - early - will push the 5 - they cancel one another -out
5 - early - will be pushed by the 4 into 22 and change -45 and change - out
6 - in
7 - in
8 - I know Emd is faster than No cal track - not sure by how much but this is enough to call him slow - out
9 - pig -out

that leaves 1-6-7 as final mix

I want to bet the horse closest to the lead from these.

The 6 is now gone - positions of 9-7 and 7-6 ( below) leave him farthest out so he's gone - out

down to 1 and 7
1 is super solid - Position 3-3-1 from last

7 is farther out in last but shows 3 races from below where positionally he can be at least as close as the 1 . the 8th race back beats the 1 positionally
3-2-1 and that race was from 110 2c pace.

I would pass the race as I am basically guessing now tween the 1 and 7. I dont bet races like this anymore.

PASS

Steve I have no clue I am doing bad with tandems
I see them they freak me out and I have a mental block
If anything they are taking away any edge I had before
I could probably work with some other tools like
APV and the VDC readout If I was doing the race
live This format of showing the race "Hat style"
is what it is

this one is a pass

Bill,

Hi. Have you ever considered the guidelines regarding tandem horses contained in Michael Pizzolla's Reversal Protocol? Perhaps that may help clarify things.

All the best,

Jon
