Contender Selection - One Way Pt 1 of 3

[Because I Can Jim]

Hey Everyone,

I have created three videos in response to a contender selection question by Ronestes from another thread. You can view that thread here:

I suggest you read it before watching the videos.

I answered the question in three parts.

Be forewarned - each video is about 14 minutes long.

Since it is my first posting of videos bear with me as I make improvements as I go along gaining more experience doing this.

Briefly, here are the steps I go thru in my process:

• paceline selection strategy
• look at the pps of the horses to gather info
• select running styles
• find a fulcrum pace and fulcrum horse
• eliminate horses that do not meet the fulcrum pace and select pacelines
• on the Segments tab, use Total Energy, VDC and Running Styles to further eliminate horses
• having whittled down to the contenders, analyze and make wagering decisions

Ted suggested that I make sort of a preamble video to explain some thing. I will do that in another thread. However, I felt that I should answer Ron's question instead of having him wait too long.


So be patient with the give and take.


Also, post thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc.... They are most welcome.


So, here we go.
