Variants - Pace and Cap

shoeless · 09-24-2006, 08:13 AM

Jim,Will you look at the variants of the tracks the horses are running on and make adjustments?For instance today at Monmouth there is a horse Hey Chub.When he runs on a track with a variant between 7 & 13 he will cut 44 and change at the half mile.When he runs on a 14 or higher track variant he cuts a 45 and change to the half mile.Depending how fast or slow the track is will make a big difference on projecting the pace of the race especially in the east coast due to the weather changes.

I never look ate variants.
Also, take a look at the horse. He has never run a 44 and change at the half
mile. He has running against 44 and change, but has never been in the lead.
