New Pace Follow-Up Video

[SilentRun]

Ted,

With reference to the "New Pace" follow-Up video (42.00 - 44.00):
There is an improvement suggestion that impacts the determination of the
low reg speed horses only as follows:

Eliminate those horses whereby their speed ratings are amoungst the 4 lowest
and they raced on on off-track surface. If todays track conditon is fast and there are 3 horses with the 3 lowest speed ratings from say SY, GD then it is ok to eliminate those horses. He goes on to state, "It doesn't matter if todays race is on an off-track because you are only tossing low speed ratings ".
But this implies you should just toss up to the 4 lowest speed ratings regradless
of the surface. So it is not clear to me if you should use the surface or not ?

In the video example (LRL02) there was originally 10 pacelines and 3 horses that met the conditions as described above. They were eliminated leaving 7 pacelines and thus the selection criteria shifted to 2nd best & 3rd worst.

According to Dave's narration this results in an improvement.

This does not include eliminating any other surface such as TURF it is strictly the SURFACE CONDITION only.

Is the above included in E/L 2.0 ? If not then I think that if it results in an improvement then it should be considered as an enhancement.

This is my interpetation so it would interesting to hear other viewpoints.
