matching up dream race - Pace and Cap

Houndog · 12-14-2007, 03:15 PM

I would think matching up FPS would be the same as matching up the actual fractional times as seen in the racing form. If you have a "feel" for FPS readouts you could relate these to the actual fractions.

For example 22.0 for the first fraction in a sprint is 60 FPS. If a horse is capable of 60 FPS at the first fraction and the next closest horse can only do a 58; that is a significant edge in the first fraction. Not everything will be that obvious but whether you match-up using fractions, fps, or energy % the procedure should be similiar.

I want to stress that I am not an expert using the Match-Up, but this is my slant on things.
