Paceline Selection

[pianoman]

Unfortunately I having an issue with the Snip tool. Though I bet Saratoga Race 1. Paceline selection was the top pacelines for my contenders which it had the highest speed ratings. My selections in order was numbers 7, 6, 1, 3 & 8. Finish was 7 1 for a 70 exacta for two dollars.

Thanks Eric

If you don't mind, what screens did you use. If it is a problem that is
ok, I understand.

Jeff, I use the Energy Generator, Entropy, Preplay & Phase 1 screens in conjunction with each other. Never cared about the Thoromation screen where the horses are animated. I pay attention to the Muv on the Sort screen. That's about it. Another thing I generally will the use latest pace line if its a plus race. No need to go any further in my opinion. Yes, Doc gave "excuses" to look further if necessary but if I believe the last plus pace line is "representative" for todays race I use it. Stop looking for the horse best race.

Jeff, I’m glad you started this thread. It’s been great for me to formalize some of my thoughts and feelings of the methodology. Sometimes I don’t believe we give enough thought to passing races. The methodology is not applicable to many races in my opinion. Food for thought.

Howard told me multiple times that the key to making money with handicapping is knowing which races to pass.

It seems to be an art form, not a science.

Experience and practice are going to be required to master it. I think Eric is absolutely correct on this.
