Paceline selection

[Bill V.]

Hello BluewaterBill

Welcome to Pace and Cap

I try to follow Doc's guidelines from private phone instuctions ,My visit to the O'Henry Office, Manuals Videos and mostly from The Follow Ups

I have used a pace line selection method from the beginning which for me
started with PL4 then sysnthesis then all the Validator prorams
Speculator and RDSS

I use and look at only the adjusted paceline screen. I take the paceline
of the last 3 races with the best speed rating Most of the time its the one with the highest number. But If I told you to take the speed rating with the
highest number that would not be what Doc meant by the "Best of the last
3 at a comperable distance surface and class".

I am looking at these 3 or 4 or maybe 5 races for a speed rating
fast enough to compete with the fastest horses in each races
match up. as I open each horses past performance I look at
its last three or so races and get an idea of what a horse can
run from its past speed ratings

In the example here from MNR race 4 # 4
I have selected line 1 with a 74 speed rating. If I were just to say I take
the highest speed ratings of the last three races then I would take line 3 with the 79. But line 3 is not the line for this horse in my opinion
I have explained further in the notepad sub box

I pay little attention to recency for the better APV/CR horses
I am not so quick to go back for lines on horses with poor
APV and Class ratings

Thanks
Bill
