Going to the track with Dad
Hello From Favorites in Toms River New Jersey
Its great to be at the track/otb with dad We both have our tracks worked. He has Gulfstream and Aqueduct I have Tampa and Philly . The Sartin Methodology in our game plans but dad is very unusual in how he uses it. Nobody drives my dad. He is the captain and if he is in the car he is at the wheel, So on the way here I make conversation from the shotgun seat about deceleration . Yeah dad in the very early 90's Do went away from linear math. The Sartin methodology way everywhere. It was hot Modern pace handicappling was a big seller Pace makes the race was hot Jim Bradshaw had his original match up book Brisnet was advertising data files 5 of which said the used Sartin style numbers Doc instead worked on not how fast horses ran but how they decelerated like everybody could see the horse ran 22.4 in the first fraction Everybody saw the second call at 46.0 The better ones and the linerar programs showed a 2nd fraction or "turn time" of 23.1 or even 55.55 Feet Per Second ( thats a guess from me I don't know about converting frations to feet per second) anyway I'm telling dad about this and I tell him about how Doc instead started to thiink and program about why some horses ran the second and third fractions faster or slower than others. He wanted to measure the way they decelerated. What he discovered was the match up of the horses in the race caused the acceleration to change but there deceleration rates were much more consistant. The new Sartin Methodology of today would be more how much of the horses total energy would be used early and late The energy and deceleration replaces velocity Why would a horse run a 24.4 third fraction ? and another run 25.4 How could a program measure and rate the Velocity relative to deceleration ? I wondered and with excitement asked So dad what do you think ? Thats great Bill but I was thinking about were we are gonna park Bill |
